VerityLayer MCP โ€” Integration Guide

Fail-closed verify-before-you-act trust gate for AI agents. Five tools โ€” verify_fact, detect_injection, moderate_content, redact_pii, guard_action โ€” that run before agent actions execute. Every verdict ships an Ed25519-signed receipt for audit trails.

What It Does

VerityLayer acts as a mandatory safety checkpoint between your AI agent and the outside world. Before the agent can act on a fact, send a message, or execute a transaction, VerityLayer runs verification checks and returns a cryptographically signed verdict. If any check fails, the action is blocked (fail-closed). This makes it essential for production AI agent deployments where safety and audit trails matter.

Key Capabilities

  • verify_fact โ€” Cross-references claims against trusted sources before the agent acts on them
  • detect_injection โ€” Scans agent inputs and outputs for prompt injection, data exfiltration, and manipulation
  • moderate_content โ€” Content safety checks for agent-generated text before it reaches users
  • redact_pii โ€” Strips personally identifiable information from agent outputs before external delivery
  • guard_action โ€” Final approval gate โ€” the last check before any agent action executes

Every verdict includes: - Ed25519-signed cryptographic receipt - Timestamp and tool identifier - Verdict (pass/fail) with confidence score - Audit trail for compliance

CorpusIQ Use Cases

1. Agent Output Sanitization

"Before sending this agent-generated email to the client, run redact_pii 
and moderate_content on the draft. Only release if both pass."
Production safety gate for agent-generated customer communications.

2. Prompt Injection Defense

"Run detect_injection on every user input before it reaches the agent's 
context window. Block any flagged inputs."
Security layer for customer-facing AI agent deployments.

3. Compliance Audit Trail

"Show me all VerityLayer verdicts from the last 24 hours โ€” which actions 
passed, which were blocked, and why."
Compliance-ready audit trail for regulated industries.

Operator Value

Protection Without VerityLayer With VerityLayer
Prompt injection No detection โ€” agent acts on malicious input Injection detected and blocked before context entry
PII in outputs Manual review or none Automatic redaction with cryptographic proof
Content safety Reactive (find issues after sending) Proactive (block before delivery)
Audit trail Agent logs only (may be incomplete) Signed receipts for every safety decision

Every arrow includes an Ed25519-signed receipt. The system is fail-closed โ€” if any check cannot complete (network error, timeout), the action is blocked rather than allowed through unsafely.
