Zabta evaluates every agent action against 14 jurisdictions and answers with a verdict — allow, deny, or escalate — with the article that decided it.

NOTICES — IN FORCE

2026-08-02

High-risk AI system obligations under the EU AI Act became enforceable.

Penalties reach €35M or 7% of worldwide turnover, whichever is higher — EU AI Act Art. 99. Many high-risk deployers also owe a Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment before deployment — EU AI Act Art. 27. If your agents make automated decisions, generate content, or touch personal data in the EU, these articles may now apply to them.

2026-06-30

The Colorado AI Act took effect for developers and deployers of high-risk systems.

Consequential decisions by AI now carry a duty of reasonable care — Colorado SB24-205. US state law is arriving jurisdiction by jurisdiction; Texas TRAIGA is already on the rack below.

THE ENGINE — HOW A VERDICT IS MADE

Every action crosses three registered layers over one fixed grid. Each layer prints its policies onto the evaluation; the most restrictive verdict wins. Nothing moves — the action is what travels.

01 UNIVERSAL

12 policies

Safety baselines that apply everywhere: kill switch, audit trail, PII guardian, human approval for irreversible actions, cost limits.

CONNECT — TWO LINES OF CODE

AUTO MODE

# That's it — OpenAI, Anthropic, and LangChain calls are now governed.

MANUAL MODE

from zabta import ZabtaClient

result = client.evaluate("process_refund", "order_123", {
    "has_pii": True,
    "is_irreversible": True,

if result.allowed:
    process_refund(order)      # policy allows it
elif result.escalated:

else:
    log_denial(result.reason)  # denied — the reason carries the citation

THE BROKER — CREDENTIALS ARE GOVERNED TOO

BETA 0.1.0b5 — WIRE PROTOCOL MAY CHANGE

Policies decide what agents may do. The Broker decides what they may hold. A local daemon vaults your API keys; agents check out short-lived, policy-evaluated leases at the moment of use — the secret never sits in an env file or a prompt.

VAULT

Secrets encrypted at rest on your machine. The master key lives in your OS keychain. The secret never leaves the box.

AES via Fernet · keychain-held key

CHECKOUT

The agent requests a credential; the request runs the same policy pipeline as any action — identity, policy, budget.

zabta.credential("stripe", ["charges:create"])

LEASE

Allowed requests get the secret with a 300-second lease record. Denials get the reason. Every path is audited.

The proof is checkable, not claimed: the SDK is live on PyPI, every jurisdiction policy carries its article, and the audit trail your agents generate is the same format you see above.

THE OPERATIONS ROOM — WHERE A HUMAN WATCHES THE BOARD

Escalations land in an approval queue. Compliance scores, trust monitoring, and the audit trail live in one dashboard — this one.
