Moses Audit

MO§ES™ Audit Trail — SHA-256 chained append-only governance ledger. Every agent appends before final response. Provides moses_log_action and moses_verify_chain tools. Tamper-evident. Part of the moses-governance bundle. Patent pending Serial No. 63/877,177.

MO§ES™ Audit Trail

Every governed action is logged. Every log entry is hashed. Every hash references the previous. The chain is tamper-evident and append-only.

You must log before your final response. Skipping the audit is a constitutional violation. It will be caught by the Observer and flagged.

moses_log_action Tool

Call this before every final response:

text

<tool name="moses_log_action">
  <agent>primary|secondary|observer</agent>
  <action>short description of what was done</action>
  <detail>specifics — what was evaluated, what was blocked, what was executed</detail>
  <outcome>result: executed | blocked | held | flagged | logged</outcome>
</tool>

Or via script:

bash

python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/moses-governance/scripts/audit_stub.py log \
  --agent primary \
  --action "treasury_transfer_check" \
  --detail "Transfer 50 SOL to 7xK...3nR evaluated under High Security + DEFENSE" \
  --outcome "held_pending_confirmation"

---

moses_verify_chain Tool

Call when operator runs /audit verify:

text

<tool name="moses_verify_chain" />

Or via script:

bash

python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/moses-governance/scripts/audit_stub.py verify

Returns: [VERIFY OK] Chain intact. N entries verified. Or: [VERIFY FAILED] Entry N: hash mismatch. Chain broken.

Ledger Format

File: ~/.openclaw/audits/moses/audit_ledger.jsonl

Each line is a JSON entry:

json

{
  "timestamp": "2026-03-13T14:22:01Z",
  "agent": "primary",
  "component": "moses-audit",
  "action": "treasury_transfer_check",
  "detail": "Transfer 50 SOL — held by DEFENSE posture",
  "outcome": "held_pending_confirmation",
  "mode": "high-security",
  "posture": "defense",
  "role": "primary",
  "previous_hash": "abc123...",
  "hash": "def456..."
}

Audit Mandate

Every agent in the MO§ES™ hierarchy appends to this shared ledger before final response. The ledger is:

• Append-only — nothing deleted, nothing modified
• Hash-chained — every entry references previous entry's hash
• Governance-aware — active mode/posture/role recorded with every entry
• Verifiable — full chain can be verified at any time

Session hashes (① config + ② content) are derived from the ledger. Onchain anchoring (③ — planned, not yet implemented) will write the chain tip to Solana or Base as a memo transaction.

Data Sensitivity

The detail field is freeform. Do not log raw secrets, private keys, tokens, or PII in this field. Log action descriptions and outcomes only. Example of what belongs:

text

detail: "Transfer 50 SOL evaluated under High Security + DEFENSE — held pending confirmation"

Not:

text

detail: "API key sk-abc123 used to authenticate transfer"

MOSES_OPERATOR_SECRET is used locally for HMAC attestation only. It is never written to the ledger and never transmitted.
