Introduction

Agents with receipts.

RunProof is an execution trace for AI agents that anyone can verify.


The Problem

AI agents are black boxes. They send emails, write code, call APIs, move money — and you have no proof of what actually happened.

When something goes wrong:

  • Logs? Maybe. Scattered across services.
  • Traces? Incomplete. Not tamper-proof.
  • Trust? “It worked on my machine.”

The Solution

RunProof gives you a verifiable execution artifact for every agent run.

Not a log. Not telemetry. A receipt.

{
  "agent": "support/resolver",
  "events": [
    {"type": "tool_call", "tool": "search_kb"},
    {"type": "tool_call", "tool": "send_email"}
  ],
  "merkle_root": "sha256:...",
  "signature": "ed25519:..."
}

Anyone can verify this. Without trusting you.


The Mental Model

Git gives you history for code. RunProof gives you history for agent execution.


Two Integration Paths

PathHow it worksBest for
Python SDKWrap your frameworkLangGraph, custom runtimes
Native PluginDrop into OpenClaw gatewayNemoClaw, OpenShell, secure runtimes

Current Status

RunProof supports two proof profiles:

ProfileStatusEnvironment
execution-proof✅ Golden-verified, stableEmbedded/runtime-native
full-run-proof✅ Live todayGateway/channel (Telegram, Discord)

v1.2 stabilization complete. Live NemoClaw revalidation and auto-finalization enhancements in v1.3.


Try It (60 seconds)

Python SDK

pip install substr8-core substr8-cli
 
# Run your agent, get a runproof.json
 
substr8 proof inspect runproof.json
✓ RunProof VALID

#1  run_started      → Agent: support/resolver
#2  tool_call        → search_kb
#3  tool_result      → sha256:a4f2...
#4  tool_call        → send_email
#5  run_completed    → Status: completed

That’s it. You can now see exactly what your agent did.

Native Plugin (OpenClaw)

# Inside NemoClaw/OpenShell sandbox
openclaw agent -m "List files in /tmp"
 
# Finalize and verify
curl -X POST ".../v1/run/end" -d '{"run_id": "...", "success": true}'
curl ".../v1/runproof/.../verify"
{
  "verified": true,
  "chain_valid": true,
  "signatures": { "all_valid": true }
}

Zero code changes. Drop the plugin into your OpenClaw gateway.
