Mycelium Trails

This implementation is a Mycelium Provider. Each completed action submits a trail to ARGENTUM with a content-addressed action_ref (JCS+SHA-256 over the four preimage fields). The returned mycelium_trail_id is included in every receipt for independent verification.

---

Verified on Soma

SafeAgent is the first verified external integrator on Soma — the Mycelium agent catalog. Every production execution is anchored on-chain via Mycelium Trails and independently verifiable without going through the operator.

• Integrator badge — verified external client running Mycelium Trails in production
• Live trails — https://argentum-api.rgiskard.xyz/dashboard/trails?client=safeagent-prod
• Public audit — any auditor can verify SafeAgent executions independently

---

What it does

SafeAgent is an exactly-once execution guard. It prevents AI agents and SaaS applications from firing the same action twice — on crash-retry, duplicate signal, webhook replay, or concurrent execution across multiple instances.

Every action gets a stable request_id derived from what the agent is doing and when. The first call commits. Every subsequent call with the same key returns SKIP and the original result. No double charges. No double emails. No double orders. No duplicate webhooks.

State machine: PENDING → COMMITTED | SKIP

Common failure modes SafeAgent prevents:

Scenario	Without SafeAgent	With SafeAgent
Stripe charge times out, retry fires	Customer charged twice	Second charge returns SKIP
Welcome email on signup retried	User gets two welcome emails	Second send returns SKIP
Webhook delivered twice (Stripe/GitHub/Twilio guarantee at-least-once)	Event processed twice	Second processing returns SKIP
Workspace provisioned on retry	Two workspaces created	Second provision returns SKIP
AI agent tool call retried after crash	Duplicate side effect	Second call returns SKIP

---

The stack

SafeAgent is the exactly-once enforcement layer in a formally specified agent execution integrity stack:

Polaris (commit-gated authorization)
└── AgentGraph safety verdict (pre-execution safety gate)
    └── SafeAgent (exactly-once execution guard)  ← you are here
        └── Mycelium Trails (on-chain anchor)

Each layer is independently authored and independently verifiable. None trusts the others.

API

POST /claim

Gate an action. Returns PROCEED on first call, SKIP on any repeat.

Request body:

{
  "request_id": "order:TQQQ:buy:6:2026-05-19T13:31:00-04:00",
  "action": "order"
}

• request_id — stable identifier derived from what the agent is doing. Same inputs = same key.
• action — the action type being gated (e.g. payment.send, email, trade, order)

Response:

{ "status": "PROCEED", "request_id": "order:TQQQ:buy:6:2026-05-19T13:31:00-04:00" }

Retry with the same payload:

{ "status": "SKIP", "request_id": "order:TQQQ:buy:6:2026-05-19T13:31:00-04:00", "existing": {...} }

POST /settle/{request_id}

Settle a claim after the action fires. Advances status from PENDING to COMMITTED.

curl -s -X POST https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/settle/order:TQQQ:buy:6:2026-05-19T13:31:00-04:00 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"result":{"status":"completed","txid":"abc123"}}'

{ "status": "committed", "request_id": "..." }

POST /claim/test

Free test endpoint — same logic, no payment required. Limited to 10 calls per IP total.

curl -s -X POST https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/claim/test \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"agent_id":"bot-1","action_type":"order","scope":"TQQQ:buy:6:bar:2026-05-19T13:31:00-04:00"}'

{ "status": "PROCEED", "request_id": "...", "test": true, "calls_remaining": 9 }

GET /audit

Full claim history. Filter by agent_id, action, status, or timestamp range.

curl "https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/audit?agent_id=bot-1&status=COMMITTED"

{"items": [...], "total": 5, "limit": 100, "offset": 0}

Parameters: agent_id, action, status, from_ts, to_ts, limit (max 1000), offset.

Integration

Python

import requests

def claim(request_id: str, action: str) -> dict:
    r = requests.post(
        "https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/claim",
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json={"request_id": request_id, "action": action}
    )
    return r.json()  # {"status": "PROCEED"|"SKIP", "request_id": "..."}

def settle(request_id: str, result: dict) -> dict:
    r = requests.post(
        f"https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/settle/{request_id}",
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json={"result": result}
    )
    return r.json()

# Usage
response = claim("payment:customer-123:invoice-456", "payment.send")
if response["status"] == "PROCEED":
    result = send_payment(...)
    settle("payment:customer-123:invoice-456", {"status": "completed"})
elif response["status"] == "SKIP":
    print("Already executed, skipping")

SaaS (Stripe / email / webhooks)

import requests

def safe_stripe_charge(customer_id, amount, idempotency_key):
    request_id = f"stripe:charge:{customer_id}:{idempotency_key}"

    response = requests.post(
        "https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/claim",
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json={"request_id": request_id, "action": "stripe_charge"}
    ).json()

    if response["status"] == "SKIP":
        return response.get("existing")

    charge = stripe.PaymentIntent.create(amount=amount, customer=customer_id)
    requests.post(
        f"https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/settle/{request_id}",
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json={"result": {"charge_id": charge.id}}
    )
    return charge

Webhook deduplication — Stripe, GitHub, and Twilio all guarantee at-least-once delivery. SafeAgent turns at-least-once into exactly-once:

def handle_stripe_webhook(event):
    response = requests.post(
        "https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/claim",
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json={"request_id": event["id"], "action": "stripe_event"}
    ).json()

    if response["status"] == "SKIP":
        return {"ok": True}

    provision_subscription(event)
    requests.post(
        f"https://safeagent-production.up.railway.app/settle/{event['id']}",
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json={"result": {"processed": True}}
    )

CrewAI

from crewai import Agent
import sqlite3

guard_con = sqlite3.connect("safeagent_orders.db", check_same_thread=False)
# ... same guard pattern, keyed on tool_name + input hash + session_id

PR crewAIInc/crewAI#5822 adds pluggable idempotency backends. SafeAgent's SQLite schema is compatible.

WisePick

WisePick is a deterministic routing layer for agent runtimes. The integration splits capability selection from durable, idempotent execution — WisePick answers what and which provider, SafeAgent answers whether this logical work already ran.

Local guard (embedded SQLite)

The same guarantee without the network call. Drop this into any Python agent:

import sqlite3

_SA_DB = "safeagent_orders.db"
_sa_con = sqlite3.connect(_SA_DB, check_same_thread=False)
_sa_con.execute("""CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS orders (
    request_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
    result     TEXT,
    status     TEXT DEFAULT 'PENDING',
    created_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
)""")
_sa_con.commit()

def place_order_with_guard(symbol, qty, side, bar_ts):
    request_id = f"order:{symbol}:{side}:{qty}:{bar_ts}"

    _sa_con.execute(
        "INSERT OR IGNORE INTO orders (request_id, status) VALUES (?, 'PENDING')",
        (request_id,)
    )
    _sa_con.commit()

    row = _sa_con.execute(
        "SELECT status, result FROM orders WHERE request_id = ?",
        (request_id,)
    ).fetchone()

    if row and row[0] == 'COMMITTED':
        print(f"SAFEAGENT SKIP: {request_id}")
        return row[1]

    result = place_order(symbol, qty, side)

    _sa_con.execute(
        "UPDATE orders SET status='COMMITTED', result=? WHERE request_id=?",
        (json.dumps(str(result)), request_id)
    )
    _sa_con.commit()
    return result

Case study: crash-retry duplicate prevention

A trading bot fires a market order to buy 6 shares of TQQQ. The broker accepts it. The bot crashes before updating state. On restart — same signal, same bar — the bot fires again. The broker fills it twice. The agent now holds 12 shares when it intended to hold 6.

This is not theoretical. It happens on any unhandled exception between order submission and state persistence.

SafeAgent derives a stable key before touching the broker:

request_id = "order:TQQQ:buy:6:2026-05-19T13:31:00-04:00"

First call: PROCEED. Side effect fires. Settle writes COMMITTED.
Crash and retry: SKIP. Broker never touched again.

Canonical action_ref derivation

JCS (RFC 8785), aligned with argentum-core, Nobulex, and APS:

import hashlib
import rfc8785

def compute_action_ref(
    agent_id: str,
    action_type: str,
    scope: str,
    timestamp: str,  # RFC 3339 UTC, 3-digit ms: "2026-05-15T10:00:00.123Z"
) -> str:
    payload = {
        "agent_id": agent_id,
        "action_type": action_type,
        "scope": scope,
        "timestamp": timestamp,
    }
    canonical = rfc8785.dumps(payload)
    return hashlib.sha256(canonical).hexdigest()

timestamp is an RFC 3339 UTC string with exactly 3 millisecond digits. The trailing Z is mandatory.
