How this service works
Single-entrypoint safety workflow for consequential agent actions. Runs the complete DestructGuard evidence score, conditionally creates ReviewQueue triage for high or critical risk, returns an honest allow or needs_review decision, a signed receipt, and a free 30-day status record. Human approval itself requires a connected approval system or hosted Assurance plan.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a risk level (e.g. 'high'), a decision status ('review_required' or 'allowed'), a boolean allowed flag, a workflowId, a statusUrl for polling the review, and a requiresHumanReview flag. Provides machine-readable evidence and receipts for auditing.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Before I run this shell command `rm -rf /var/data/prod` on the production server, run it through the safety loop and tell me if it's allowed or needs human review — flag it as a high-risk destructive infrastructure action.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://hermesplant.com/api/agent-services/action-safety/runWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent is about to execute a consequential, hard-to-reverse action — such as shell commands, git operations, SQL mutations, infrastructure changes, deploys, x402 payments, or MCP tool calls — and you need a deterministic safety gate with evidence preservation and optional human-in-the-loop review before proceeding.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed action payload returns a 400 error
- Unrecognized action type may result in default high-risk classification
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request
- Timeout if human review queue is backlogged
- Missing required context fields may cause indeterminate risk scoring
