Can your boundary hold?

+

An AI agent proposes a tool call. Your host freezes the proposal, checks its exact policy, binds approval to the digest, and reports what happened at dispatch.

Make the claim falsifiable.

Implement the adapter outside this repository, then run the harness against your executable. It prints case-by-case failures and hashes of the exact challenge and vector files. Keep your implementation and evidence outside the project reference code.

Run from a checkout of aml-core; replace ./your-adapter with your executable. The harness uses simulated callbacks only.
