DJZS Deterministic Pre-Execution Audit for Agents

DJZS audits the reasoning behind an autonomous agent's move before capital is committed, and returns one of three verdicts PASS, WAIT, or FAIL with the specific reasoning defects flagged and a reproducible hash of the decision.

The wedge: transaction-security tools answer "is this transaction safe to sign?". DJZS answers a different question "should this position be taken at all?". A perfectly safe transaction can still rest on broken reasoning; DJZS is the layer that catches the bad thesis.

Use it now — the live MCP gate

verify_pm_trade is deployed as a Model Context Protocol tool (streamable HTTP) on a Cloudflare Worker. Add it to an MCP-capable agent in one line:

claude mcp add --transport http djzs-trust https://mcp.djzs.ai/mcp

Then call verify_pm_trade with a free-text prediction-market trade thesis. It extracts the reasoning, audits it against the calibrated DJZS-M taxonomy, and returns PASS → PROCEED / FAIL / WAIT → HALT, with the flagged defects and a verdict_hash.

First external audit on record. An outside agent audited a benchmark thesis (pm-block-008) through the deployed tool and received:

verdict:       FAIL
flags:         DJZS-M03 (PROBABILITY_UNSOURCED), DJZS-M04 (CONSENSUS_NO_EDGE)
risk_score:    40
disagreements: []
verdict_hash:  0x85918814b3dffa31b00d6892c2e00b2001efd35f7e0044b4cd3789fe1df14937

Behavioral parity against the offline batteries (verdict + flags + extracted input) is green. Hash parity is a pending re-mint — the calibration key lapsed during deployment — so the live hash above stands as the record until it is re-run.

Architecture C — extraction reports, the engine decides

DJZS separates the model-bound step from the trusted step:

free-text intent
      │
      ▼
EXTRACTION  (LLM, N=3 consensus)          reports observable FACTS, never a verdict
  · per-field state unanimity across the 3 samples; any disagreement → unknown
  · quote gates: a claimed "absent" must quote the intent verbatim, or it demotes to unknown
  · evidence-unanimity: a critical-driving "absent" needs the same quote across all samples
      │
      ▼
AuditInput  (each fact is tri-state: present / absent / unknown)
      │
      ▼
DETERMINISTIC ENGINE  (pure code — no model, no network, no clock)
  rules fire → weighted score → verdict
      │
      ▼
PASS · WAIT · FAIL   +   verdict_hash

Why this shape: the verdict rules are model-independent. The LLM only turns messy text into a structured struct; the audit rules that decide the verdict are frozen code. Swap the model and the extraction quality changes — the rules, weights, and hash do not.

Determinism by construction. The same AuditInput always yields the same verdict and the same hash:

verdict_hash = sha256(canonicalize({ verdict, risk_score, flags: codes.sorted(), unknown_fields }))

WAIT is never silent. An under-specified thesis — one where a decision-critical fact is unknown — resolves to WAIT, mapped to HALT for the caller, with unknown_fields returned so the agent knows exactly what to clarify. Abstention is a first-class outcome, never a guessed PASS or FAIL.

Taxonomies (frozen)

DJZS-M — Prediction Market (DJZS-PM-v1.0) — the calibrated, live path

Weights sum to 100; FAIL threshold 25. All four codes are implemented and calibrated.

M04 is advisory-grade. On its own it does not block — a lone M04 rides a PASS with the flag on the certificate (weight 15 is below the FAIL threshold). It contributes to a block only by stacking with another finding (e.g. M03 + M04 = 40 → FAIL, as in the first audit above).

verify_pm_trade is PM-only: if the intent does not extract as a prediction-market thesis (including the undetermined case), it returns in_scope: false rather than silently running a perpetuals audit.

DJZS-LF — Perpetuals / general reasoning (DJZS-LF-v1.1)

Weights sum to 200. The taxonomy is frozen at 11 codes; 3 are wired live in the engine today (marked ●). The rest are defined and weighted but not yet firing — coverage is stated honestly rather than implied.

Both weight tables are hash-locked (WEIGHTS_HASH / TAXONOMY_HASH, and the PM equivalents, are exported constants); changing a weight is a deliberate re-derive, not a hot patch.

MCP tools

The deployed Worker exposes three tools over streamable HTTP at /mcp:

Honest v1 posture

What the tool does not do yet — recorded deliberately, to be re-ruled before the gate is broadly promoted:

• No ProofOfLogic write on the tool. verify_pm_trade returns a verdict_hash but does not yet anchor a certificate. Existing Irys certificates are prior-architecture lineage, not output of this tool.
• No payment gate on the tool. The MCP tool is not metered; the older paid HTTP tiers are a separate surface.
• Taxonomy hashes not in the response. The four hash constants are exported from the frozen tables but are not yet included in the tool's JSON response.

The response contract today is: verdict, action, risk_score, flags, unknown_fields, disagreements (the per-field sample-agreement telemetry), verdict_hash, extraction_failsafe, in_scope, and taxonomy versions.

Legacy HTTP API (backward-compatible)

Before the MCP gate, DJZS ran as a paid HTTP audit service. Those endpoints remain for backward compatibility — the MCP gate above is the current surface. The tiers are metered in USDC on Base Mainnet via an x-payment-proof header:

POST /api/audit aliases the Micro tier, and an escrow-settled variant (POST /api/audit/escrow) takes on-chain escrow in place of a payment header. These tiers run the older detection path, not the Architecture C engine — treat their output as legacy.

On-chain artifacts

The A2A manifest (agent.json) attests four DJZS contracts on Base Mainnet, each marked verified. Source for each lives in contracts/:

Addresses are as recorded in agent.json; verify any of them on BaseScan.

A fifth contract, contracts/DJZSProofOfLogicNFT.sol, exists as source only — it is not in the deployed manifest, and this document makes no claim that certificate NFTs are live or mintable.

Prior ProofOfLogic certificates live on the Irys datachain and are readable via the query_pol_certificates MCP tool. They are prior-architecture lineage, not output of verify_pm_trade.

Read the log

The commit history is the product's own audit trail: each verdict-bearing change ships with a PENDING note naming what is still unproven, and the next commit that closes it discharges that note explicitly. Every claim — a recall number, a parity result, a live verdict hash — is cited to a specific run at the moment it is pushed, not asserted after the fact. If you want to know what is proven versus deferred, git log is the source of truth and this file is downstream of it.

Repository map

• server/engine-v2/ — Architecture C: deterministic-engine.ts (the frozen decider), extraction-layer.ts (N=3 consensus extraction), audit-input-schema.ts, hash.ts, and the calibration/ bench + scorer.
• shared/audit-schema.ts — the DJZS-LF perpetuals taxonomy (source of the table above).
• shared/pm-taxonomy.ts — the DJZS-M prediction-market taxonomy.
• djzs-trust-mcp/ — the Cloudflare Worker: the MCP server and the verify_pm_trade tool, importing the engine and shared taxonomies frozen via a build alias.
• server/ (older tiers) — the prior HTTP audit path and its ProofOfLogic / settlement plumbing, retained for backward compatibility. Its legacy detection tier historically used a Venice-hosted model; the Architecture C path does not depend on it.

The deterministic core runs with zero external dependencies. The extraction step is the only model-bound component, isolated to a single swappable function.
