(WRONG)
When an AI agent runs forensic tools against live evidence, the evidence itself can attack the agent.
A malware sample can embed adversarial text in its own strings output. A rogue process can write to a log file that the agent will read. A compromised binary can report false metadata. The model has no way to distinguish between legitimate tool output and poisoned tool output β unless something runs before the LLM sees anything.
That's the problem AGENTSCOPE solves.
The Second Problem: No Chain of Custody
When a human investigator writes a forensic report, every finding is backed by a tool command, a timestamp, and a hash of the evidence artifact. Courts accept this.
When an AI agent writes a forensic report, you have:
- A text file
- No record of which tools ran
- No proof the output wasn't hallucinated
- No way to verify if the chain of analysis was interrupted
AGENTSCOPE solves this too. Every tool call, every finding, every block event is sealed to a WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) chain. The chain is tamper-evident. Every finding links by sequence number to the exact tool call that produced it. Run verify_chain β it holds or it tells you exactly where it broke.

The critical boundary: Guardrails are not prompts. BOB and SENTINEL execute before the LLM. The FSM enforces phase order in TypeScript code. The WORM chain is append-only at the filesystem level. None of these can be bypassed by telling the model to ignore them, because none of them are inside the model.

}
}
The agent now has 14 typed forensic tools with BOB + SENTINEL running on every output. It physically cannot run rm, dd, chmod, or any destructive command β those bindings do not exist in the MCP server.
Evidence Chain Entry Format
Every entry in cases/worm-chain.jsonl:
{
"seq": 4,
"ts": "2026-06-15T14:23:11.042Z",
"type": "FINDING",
"tool": "list_processes",
"phase": "act",
"bob_verdict": "APPROVED",
"sentinel_verdict": "APPROVED",
"sentinel_trust_score": 0.89,
"payload": {
"finding": "suspicious_process_hierarchy",
"detail": "svchost.exe (PID 1337) spawned cmd.exe β anomalous parent-child",
"confidence": "confirmed",
"tool_call_seq": 1
},
"prev_seal": "a3f9b2c4d1e8f7a3b2c4d1e8f7a3b2c4",
"seal": "7c4d1e9f2a3b5c6d7e8f9a0b1c2d3e4f"
}
seal = HMAC-SHA256(JSON.stringify(entry_without_seal), secret)prev_seal links every entry to its predecessor β break one, the whole chain fails verification.
What Each Component Solves
| Component | Problem it solves |
|---|---|
| BOB Plasma Filter | Malware can embed adversarial text in its own forensic output. BOB runs before the LLM sees anything. |
| SENTINEL Zero-Trust Gate | Even clean output can have low trust scores. SENTINEL scores every result and the verdict travels with the finding. |
| 5-Phase FSM | AI agents skip reasoning steps when given ambiguous evidence. The FSM makes phase order a hard constraint in code. |
| Typed MCP Tools | Raw shell access lets the agent run destructive commands or get confused by unconstrained output. Typed wrappers remove that surface. |
| WORM Chain | There's no chain of custody for AI forensic findings. Every finding is sealed to its source tool call. verify_chain proves integrity. |
| Findings as confirmed / inferred / unresolved | AI reports present all findings with equal confidence. AGENTSCOPE forces epistemic honesty at the schema level. |
Judging Criteria Coverage
| Criterion | How AGENTSCOPE addresses it |
|---|---|
| Autonomous Execution Quality | 5-phase FSM, self-correction on BLOCKED findings, max_iterations cap prevents runaway loops |
| IR Accuracy | Typed tool wrappers prevent hallucination; findings labeled confirmed / inferred / unresolved; trust scores on every result |
| Constraint Implementation | BOB + SENTINEL are architectural, not prompt-based. Tested against simulated adversarial payloads embedded in tool output. |
| Audit Trail Quality | Every finding sealed to exact tool call by seq#. verify_chain proves full chain integrity. Format is court-exportable. |
| Breadth and Depth | Memory forensics, disk analysis, timeline, malware scanning, network capture, file metadata, registry, prefetch, autoruns |
| Usability | npm install && npm run demo inside SIFT VM. No config files, no API keys, no external dependencies for demo mode. |
