## Description
Verify URLs, payees, and messages before acting: red/yellow/green trust verdicts for agents.

## Documentation & README

# Faro

**Check before an agent pays, clicks, or trusts.**

Faro is a trust layer for AI agents and apps. You send a URL, payee, message, or
agent-payment payload — Faro returns one clear answer: **green**, **yellow**, or
**red**, a one-line reason, and what to do next (`allow` / `warn` / `block` /
`review`).

This repo is the **open interface** (Apache-2.0): the verdict contract, client
SDKs, and auditable payment-protocol adapters. Scoring and the reputation graph
stay on Faro’s hosted API, so you can audit what leaves your process without
forking a black-box engine.

## What can you do with this package?

| You want to… | Use |
|--------------|-----|
| Verify a link before an agent opens or shares it | Python/TS SDK `verify_url`, REST, or MCP `verify_url` |
| Check a UPI / payee / account before sending money | `verify_payee` |
| Screen an inbound SMS, email, or chat for scam tactics | `verify_message` |
| Gate an **AP2 / x402 / ACP** payment before settle | Open adapters in `adapters/faro_agentpay/` → then verify each artifact |
| Let Claude / Cursor / any MCP client call Faro | Hosted MCP at `https://mcp.farofinance.app/mcp` |
| Branch in code on a stable contract | `contracts/verdict.schema.json` + typed SDKs |

**Typical users:** agent builders, wallet/checkout integrators, MCP app authors,
and security teams who need a single red/yellow/green decision at the moment of
action — not a dashboard full of raw threat intel.

## Quick start

```bash
pip install faro-client
```

```python
import asyncio, os
from faro_client import FaroClient

async def main() -> None:
    async with FaroClient(os.environ["FARO_API_KEY"]) as client:
        result = await client.verify_url("https://example.com")
        print(result.verdict, result.reason, result.recommended_action)
        # Branch: allow | warn | block | review
        if result.recommended_action == "block":
            raise SystemExit("blocked by Faro")

asyncio.run(main())
```

```bash
curl -s -X POST https://api.farofinance.app/v1/verify/url \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FARO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"value":"https://example.com"}'
```

## Why open / what’s closed

**Open here:** schema, SDKs, protocol adapters, recipes, MCP tool docs — so
integrators and protocol ecosystems can cite and fork the interface.

**Closed (hosted API):** signal providers, scoring, reputation graph, prompts.
Adapters stop at a documented seam: parse → artifacts → `POST /v1/verify` (or
your own checks) → optional `worst_of`.

---

## Trust, plainly

Hosted verifies can carry **signed trust receipts** and a **transparency log**
(hashes and signatures — not your raw PII). Product docs:
[farofinance.app](https://farofinance.app).

---

## Roadmap / future scope

Shipped or in flight on the hosted product (not all of this lives in this public
repo):

- Stronger **verify-before-pay** coverage across AP2 / x402 / ACP as specs churn
- Richer **payee / message / URL** signals and reputation write-back
- **Watches & webhooks** when a previously clean entity flips
- **Trust receipts** and day-rooted transparency log verification tooling
- More SDK languages and framework examples (LangGraph, Crew, etc.)
- Optional public examples (e.g. agent defense patterns) without opening the engine

Community PRs welcome for **adapter/SDK/docs** fixes (DCO required). Engine
changes are not accepted here — see [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](https://github.com/vedux98/Faro/blob/HEAD/CONTRIBUTING.md).

---

## What this is not

- Not a self-hosted scam ML model — default is the hosted API
- Not a generic prompt-injection detector — Faro verifies *artifacts* at action time
