Open standard for Provenance & Intent Contracts (PIC) in AI agents. Verify intent, provenance, and evidence before high-impact tool calls.

PIC Standard is a local-first action gating protocol for AI agents. It forces agents to prove intent, provenance, and evidence before executing high-impact tool calls, and blocks the action if anything is invalid. It works 100% locally, integrates with LangGraph, MCP, OpenClaw, and Cordum, and provides evidence verification via hash and Ed25519 signatures.

    Verifying agent intentions before execution is the right safety model.

    Open standard means it can be adopted across different agent frameworks.

    Good for multi-agent systems where you need auditable intent records.
