Mandato: Protocol-Level Enforcement of Signed Mandates on AI Agent Actions

Mandato is a governance proxy that enforces digitally signed mandates on AI agent actions using cryptographically chained audit trails. It addresses the lack of verifiable authorization and independent auditability in current AI tool-calling protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Mandato is a governance proxy that enforces digitally signed mandates on AI agent actions using cryptographically chained audit trails. It addresses the lack of verifiable authorization and independent auditability in current AI tool-calling protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

AI agents increasingly act on external systems through standardized tool-calling protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP), yet no infrastructure layer constrains their actions to what a principal has verifiably authorized: authorization logic lives in application code, is neither signed nor independently...

By embedding authorization logic at the protocol level with cryptographic proofs, Mandato enhances trust and accountability in AI agents acting on external systems. This infrastructure layer ensures actions are verifiably authorized and audit logs have evidentiary value.
