Moat is a policy-enforced execution layer for AI agents. It is not an API marketplace, not a permissioning layer bolted onto existing infrastructure, and not a proxy that silently forwards requests.
Moat implements default-deny architecture: every capability (callable action) is inaccessible by default. Agents must hold an active PolicyBundle to execute any capability. Every execution produces three artifacts:
- Receipt — deterministic record of the execution intent, policies applied, outcome, and latency
- Outcome Event — async event emitted to the trust plane for reliability scoring
- IRSB Receipt — EIP-712 signed proof posted on-chain (Sepolia testnet, optional)
The system is MCP-first: AI agents interact via the Model Context Protocol, giving them a unified tool surface regardless of backend adapter (Slack, HTTP, CLI, Web3, OpenAI, A2A, or stub).

Every capability execution flows through these 10 atomic steps in services/gateway/app/execute.py. This is the choke point where policy is enforced and all observability is born.

- Query control-plane /capabilities/{capabilityId}
- 5-minute cache via Redis (dev: in-memory)
- If not found, return 404 with reason "capability_not_found"
- Check
capability.stateenum (ACTIVE, DEPRECATED, ARCHIVED, DRAFT) - Only ACTIVE capabilities can execute
- Return 403 FORBIDDEN if state != ACTIVE
- Call
policy_engine.evaluate_policy(tenantId, agentAddress, capabilityId) - Runs 5 rules in priority order (see Section 4)
- First failure short-circuits, returns 403 POLICY_DENIED
- All rule evaluations are logged and included in receipt
- Key:
f"{tenantId}:{idempotencyKey}" - Lookup in Redis (24h TTL)
- If hit: return cached receipt with metadata
is_idempotency_hit=true - If miss: continue to step 5
- Look up connection (cred) in control-plane /connections/{connectionId}
- For Slack: resolve OAuth token
- For Web3: resolve private key (or RPC endpoint)
- For HTTP proxy: resolve user/pass or API key
- Vault is a stub; production uses HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager
- Match capability.provider to adapter (see Section 5)
- Call
adapter.execute(ExecutionRequest{...}) - All adapters implement the same interface
- Adapters run in isolation (try/except wrapping)
- Return: ExecutionResponse{status, output, latency_ms, error_message, trace_id}
- Compute 5 hashes via SHA-256:
intentHash: hash of CIE (Canonical Intent Envelope) structureoutcomeHash: hash of execution result (output + status)constraintsHash: hash of policy rules appliedrouteHash: hash of adapter usedevidenceHash: hash of all observability data (latency, trace_id)
- All values are redacted (secrets hashed, PII removed)
- Include metadata: receiptId, timestamp, nonce (for Web3), capability version
- Fire-and-forget HTTP POST to trust-plane /events
- Payload: OutcomeEvent{receiptId, capabilityId, status, latency_ms, error_type, timestamp}
- 30-second timeout; failures logged but not fatal
- Trust plane ingests and computes reliability metrics (see Section 9)
- Only if
status == SUCCESS - EIP-712 signing via eth_account library
- Contract call to IntentReceiptHub on Sepolia
- Dry-run mode enabled by default (
IRSB_DRY_RUN=true) - See Section 7 for full IRSB details
- Only if

- Check: Does a PolicyBundle exist for (tenant_id, agent_address)?
- Deny If: No bundle found or bundle is null
- Rationale: Default-deny. New agents are inaccessible by default.
- Check: Is the capability's scope in the bundle's allowed scopes?
- Example scopes: "slack.chat", "web3.eth_call", "http.read", "github.issues"
- Deny If: scope not in bundle.scopes list
- Rationale: OAuth-style permission boundary
- Check: Has the tenant spent >= budget limit today (in USD cents)?
- Deny If: cumulative_spend_today >= bundle.limit_usd_cents
- Compute: Sum OutcomeEvent.cost_usd_cents where created_at >= today_00:00:00
- Rationale: Runaway agent mitigation
- Check: Is capability.domain a subset of bundle.allowed_domains?
- Example domains: "slack.com", "api.openai.com", "ethereum.org"
- Deny If: capability.domain NOT in bundle.allowed_domains
- Rationale: Prevent capability access to disallowed targets
- Check: If bundle.require_approval=true, is capability.id in bundle.approved_capabilities?

raise TimeoutError(f"Task {task_id} did not complete within {timeout_seconds}s")Scout is a tenant-specific agent running on behalf of Moat's automaton tenant. It does not execute DeFi operations, it does not enforce policy, and it does not generate receipts. Instead, Scout discovers, matches, routes, and collects receipts from capability executions.
Tenant: "automaton"
ERC-8004 Agent: #1319
Agent Address: 0x83Be08FFB22b61733eDf15b0ee9Caf5562cd888d
Solver Address: 0x83Be08FFB22b61733eDf15b0ee9Caf5562cd888d
At gateway startup, Scout is seeded with 10 PolicyBundles covering common scopes and domains:
| Bundle ID | Scopes | Allowed Domains | Budget (USD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| scout-slack | slack.chat, slack.channels | slack.com | $100 | Slack workspace ops |
| scout-http-read | http.read | api.github.com, api.algora.io, api.gitcoin.co | $50 | Bounty discovery |
| scout-web3-call | web3.eth_call | ethereum.org, alchemy.com | $100 | Read Ethereum state |
| scout-cli-triage | local-cli.triage | localhost | $10 | GWI triage |
| scout-cli-review | local-cli.review | localhost | $10 | GWI review |
| scout-cli-code | local-cli.issue-to-code | localhost | $50 | GWI issue-to-code |
| scout-openai | openai.chat | api.openai.com | $500 | GPT-4 reasoning |
| scout-a2a | a2a.tasks | (dynamic) | $200 | Agent-to-agent routing |
| scout-web3-send | web3.eth_sendTransaction | (none, approve-only) | $0 | Disabled by default |
| scout-admin | * | * | $10000 | Admin operations |
Scout operates as a broker via 4 MCP tools (see Section 10):
- bounty.discover — Search Algora, Gitcoin, Polar, GitHub issues for bounties matching a criteria
- bounty.triage — Call GWI triage to assess complexity, effort, risk
- bounty.execute — Call GWI issue-to-code to generate a PR or resolve an issue
- bounty.status — Composite status: GWI task state + trust plane reliability + IRSB receipt verification
- Execute DeFi swaps or transfers (Web3Adapter write ops are disabled for Scout)
- Enforce policy (that's the gateway's job)
- Generate receipts directly (receipts are generated by the gateway)
- Approve its own policy bundles (all bundles are pre-seeded and immutable)
The Intent Receipt and Solver Bonds (IRSB) module posts signed execution receipts to a smart contract on Sepolia. This creates an on-chain audit trail of all successful capability executions.
File: services/gateway/app/hooks/irsb_receipt.py (694 lines)
Purpose: Post execution receipts on-chain via EIP-712 signing + contract interaction
Scope: Only successful executions (status == "success")
The core data structure signed and posted on-chain:

| constraintsHash | policy rules applied (names + decisions) | Proof of constraints |
| routeHash | adapter provider (e.g., "slack") | Proof of route |
| evidenceHash | latency_ms, trace_id, timestamp | Proof of observability |
All hashes use SHA-256 and are computed over redacted/hashed values (secrets are never posted on-chain).

)Moat is a proof of concept for policy-enforced agent execution. The 10-step pipeline, default-deny policy engine, 7 adapters, and on-chain receipt posting demonstrate a production-ready architecture for audit-trail-driven agent autonomy.
The codebase is modular, async-first, and designed for horizontal scaling on Cloud Run. MCP integration gives agents a unified tool surface, and the A2A protocol enables agent-to-agent delegation.
All receipts are cryptographically signed (EIP-712) and posted to Sepolia, creating an immutable record of every successful capability execution.
