Shackle: A pre-execution ALLOW/DENY/HITL gate for AI agents (open source)
⛓️ SHACKLE The runtime governance layer — and the SP/1.0 conformance standard — for autonomous AI agents. SHACKLE mediates every agent tool call in real time: runaway token loops, unhandled tool cascades, and budget overruns are stopped before the next call fires. It is live, it runs today, and its reference implementation provably passes its own conformance suite.

⛓️ SHACKLE The runtime governance layer — and the SP/1.0 conformance standard — for autonomous AI agents. SHACKLE mediates every agent tool call in real time: runaway token loops, unhandled tool cascades, and budget overruns are stopped before the next call fires. It is live, it runs today, and its reference implementation provably passes its own conformance suite. This is not a proposal or a prototype — it is a working standard you can run, verify, and be certified against. (Cost is read from usage after each call, so SHACKLE halts the loop, not the single call that crossed the line; see the AGPL best-effort disclaimer below.) 🔒 SP/1.0 — The Conformance Standard SHACKLE is not only a runtime circuit breaker — it is the authored, verifiable conformance standard for runtime mediation of…
