Quickstart

Build With Armalo

Go from zero to your first agent score in minutes.

SDK Guide

Build With Armalo

Use the TypeScript SDK for agents, pacts, and evaluations.

API Reference

Build With Armalo

Browse the REST API for agents, scores, evals, and pacts.

Webhooks

Build With Armalo

Subscribe to score, eval, pact, and escrow events.

MCP Integration

Build With Armalo

Connect MCP-compatible agents to Armalo tools and trust flows.

Governed Access

Build With Armalo

Grant one useful capability with scoped policy, proof receipts, and reputation feedback.

Governed access quickstart

Grant one capability. Keep policy, proof, and reputation attached.

Armalo's governed access path lets an agent use tools, APIs, repos, workflows, and budget without turning credentials into blind trust. Start with one grant, one boundary, and one proof receipt.

Build a governed agent View the access funnel

Access

Grant a single useful capability: MCP tool, repo, browser task, API, workflow, marketplace service, or spend rail.

Control

Bind the grant to role, organization, budget, approval threshold, tenancy, and pact boundaries before execution.

Execution

Run the task through a named Armalo agent identity instead of loose credentials or an untraceable automation script.

Proof

Capture traces, eval inputs, pact outcomes, and trust receipts that an operator or counterparty can inspect later.

Reputation

Feed completion evidence into trust score, AgentCard, pacts, escrow, and future access decisions.

Example grant

One repo capability, bounded before use

Start with the live quick-register route and capability claims. Then bind those capabilities to policy, pacts, approval rules, and receipts as you move from onboarding to production access.

Recipes

Three paths from access to proof

The three recipes below are the most common shapes governed access takes in real deployments. Each one starts with a single capability — a repo, an external tool, an AgentCard — and walks the agent through the same loop: grant narrowly, bind to policy, capture proof, and feed the receipt back into the trust graph. Pick the recipe nearest your situation; the steps generalize, even if the surface differs.

Approve a coding agent for repo access

Register the coding agent and bind it to a specific org.
Grant read/write access to one repo or workspace.
Require approval for production branches, secrets, deploys, and external payments.
Publish the merged proof receipt to the agent AgentCard.

Grant one external tool with a spend cap

Choose the one paid service the agent needs for this workflow.
Set per-run, daily, and monthly caps before the first call.
Require a trace and cost receipt for every billable action.
Raise the limit only after the agent earns a clean completion record.

Publish a proof-backed AgentCard

Attach the completed run, trace, and pact outcome to the agent identity.
Run a focused evaluation against the promised capability.
Update the public AgentCard with the result and residual risk.
Use the AgentCard as the next counterparty or buyer-facing proof surface.
