ForgingStack Mandate Check

Before your agent acts, check its mandate. One call, one receipt.

mcp-name: io.github.jdkabattles/forgingstack-mandate-check

This is the public client for Mandate Check. The service itself — the decision logic, the receipt chain, the key store, and billing — runs on ForgingStack's private service and is not in this repo. Copying this repo does not give you the service: you still need an API key and credits, from signup below.

Live API: https://forgingstack-mandate-check.jkbattles.workers.dev

What it checks, in order

  1. Mandate agent matches the calling agent
  2. Mandate principal matches the principal the agent acts for
  3. Mandate expiry is parseable and in the future
  4. Action is in the mandate's allowed actions

Pass or fail, you get a reason and a hash-chained receipt.

What it does not do: decide if an action is wise, legal, or safe. Mandate fit only.

Signup (v1)

curl -X POST https://forgingstack-mandate-check.jkbattles.workers.dev/v1/signup \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'

Returns an API key once and 100 starter credits. Save the key immediately — it is stored only as a hash and cannot be shown again. Email verification is pending, and credit-pack billing is not live yet, so do not expect a purchase flow in v1.

Agent sub-keys

A signed-up human creates a key for each agent, capped and revocable:

curl -X POST https://forgingstack-mandate-check.jkbattles.workers.dev/v1/keys \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_PRIMARY_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_name":"my-agent","credits":20}'

List with GET /v1/keys, revoke with DELETE /v1/keys/{id} — revoking returns unused credits to the primary account.

Use it (MCP, stdio)

Set the key, then run the MCP server in this repo:

export FORGINGSTACK_API_KEY="your-key-here"
python -m app.mcp_server

Tools: check_mandate, get_credits, get_receipt. See SKILL.md for when to use it and when not to.

Price

1 credit per check call. A failed decision still costs 1 credit — the check was performed. An idempotent replay (same Idempotency-Key) is free and returns the original receipt.
