AI agents should move fast.
And leave a verified trail.
0trace gives every AI agent a declared scope of authority, a cryptographically signed identity, and an immutable audit trail. Deploy agent teams at any scale. Know — and prove — exactly what they did.

The platform beneath your agent teams.
Not just a runner — a runtime with identity, authority, and memory. Register agents, build teams, chain agents together, trace every handoff.
Agent Registry
Register agents with roles, capabilities, and Ed25519 signing keys. Every agent has a declared identity. Your agent roster, versioned and auditable.
Team Builder
Compose agent teams visually. Assign skills, define handoff rules, track membership. Org-aware — teams live within orgs, with full RBAC.
Agent Chaining
Agents invoke agents. Each handoff carries its own capability scope — Agent B cannot inherit Agent A's permissions. Every link in the chain is hash-logged.
Trace Explorer
Causal chain visualizer. See the full lineage of any agent execution — who called what, when, with what result. Every node in the graph is hash-linked.
Zero Trust
The blast radius of a misconfigured human is one bad run.
The blast radius of a misconfigured agent is unlimited. Capability enforcement stops it at the declaration — before execution begins.
Declare Everything
Every file path, URL, secret, and process an agent needs must be declared in the skill before execution begins. There is no ambient authority. If it's not declared, it doesn't exist.
network.fetch:api.openai.com ✗ network.fetch:api.evil.com — blocked Deny by Default
No trust inheritance between agents. Agent B cannot use Agent A's capabilities. Each agent in a chain runs with exactly what it declared — nothing more.
agent.invoke:summarize-agent ✗ agent.invoke:admin-agent — blocked Hash-Chained Audit
Every agent action, every inter-agent handoff, every blocked access attempt — permanently recorded in a SHA-256 chain. Tamper-evident. Exportable. Replayable.
a3f9→b2c1→d4e5→... chain: ✓ intact Agent Chaining
Compose agents freely.
Trust never propagates by default.
When Agent A invokes Agent B, each handoff carries its own declared capability scope. Agent B cannot see Agent A's secrets, files, or network access. Chain a hundred agents — the security model scales with them, and every link is hash-logged and independently verifiable.
- ✓ Capability isolation between agents
- ✓ Every handoff logged with causal link
- ✓ Replay any sub-chain independently
- ✓ Blocked invocations recorded in audit log

Gateway. Nodes. Registry. The complete execution platform.
0trace is not a single process — it is a distributed control plane. The gateway enforces policy and owns the audit trail. Nodes are stateless, fungible execution workers. Every dispatch is Ed25519-signed.
Policy engine · Audit chain · Node registry · API + Web UI
zt serve --port 8743 worker-01 · capacity: 8 worker-02 · gpu:true worker-03 · eu-west-1 Parallel execution
Run dozens of agents concurrently across nodes. Label-based routing targets GPU nodes, regional workers, or high-memory hosts.
Mutual authentication
Nodes prove key possession at registration. Ephemeral keypairs — no persistent key material on disk. Gateway signs every dispatch envelope.
Graceful failure
Nodes drain before maintenance, auto-fail after 30s missed heartbeat. In-flight runs reassigned. No manual intervention required.
Unified audit trail
All executions across all nodes land in the gateway's hash-chained audit trail. Single source of truth, tamper-evident, exportable.
Intent Enforcement
Prompt injection: the unsolvable problem.
Malicious content in the environment instructs your AI agent to act outside its intended purpose. Traditional security has no answer — the agent is the attack surface.

Built-in operator control room. No separate service.
The gateway ships with a full web UI. Skill registry, execution history, trace explorer, agent roster, audit log, and policy editor — all in the binary.
Run agents. Own the proof.
