Overview

This server acts as a governance layer for AI agents by intercepting every tool call before execution and validating it through an 8-stage pipeline including risk classification, behavioral drift detection, and security scanning. It can block or hold risky operations for human approval and maintains a complete audit trail of all attempted tool calls. Use this server when you need deterministic constraints on agent actions, human-in-the-loop approval workflows, or compliance in regulated domains.

Use cases

โ€ขIntercept and validate AI agent tool calls before execution
โ€ขHold high-risk operations for human review and approval
โ€ขDetect behavioral drift in agent actions over time
โ€ขMaintain an audit trail of all agent tool call attempts

Documentation Overview

promptspeak-mcp-server

CI npm version License: MIT Tests

Pre-execution governance for AI agents. Blocks dangerous tool calls before they execute.

AI agents call tools (file writes, API requests, shell commands) with no validation layer between intent and execution. A prompt injection, hallucinated argument, or drifting goal can trigger irreversible actions. PromptSpeak intercepts every MCP tool call, validates it against deterministic rules, and blocks or holds risky operations for human approval โ€” in 0.1ms, before anything executes.

PromptSpeak Governance Demo

When to use this

  • You run AI agents that call tools (MCP servers, function calling, tool use) and need a governance layer between the agent and the tools.
  • You need human-in-the-loop approval for high-risk operations (production deployments, financial transactions, legal filings).
  • You want to detect behavioral drift โ€” an agent gradually shifting away from its assigned task.
  • You need an audit trail of every tool call an agent attempted, whether it was allowed or blocked.
  • You operate in a regulated domain (legal, financial, healthcare) where agent actions must be deterministically constrained.

      "args": ["promptspeak-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

As a library

Terminal

cd promptspeak-mcp-server
npm install && npm run build
npm start

Usage examples

1. Validate a governance frame

Validate that a PromptSpeak frame is structurally and semantically correct before using it. Frames encode governance constraints as symbol sequences โ€” mode first, then domain, action, and entity.

jsonc
// Tool call: ps_validate
{
  "name": "ps_validate",
  "arguments": {
    "frame": "โŠ•โ—Šโ–ถฮฑ",
    "validationLevel": "full"
  }
}
jsonc
// Response
{
  "valid": true,
  "frame": "โŠ•โ—Šโ–ถฮฑ",
  "parsedFrame": {
    "mode": { "symbol": "โŠ•", "meaning": "strict" },
    "domain": { "symbol": "โ—Š", "meaning": "financial" },
    "action": { "symbol": "โ–ถ", "meaning": "execute" },
    "entity": { "symbol": "ฮฑ", "meaning": "primary" }
  },
  "parseConfidence": 1.0,
  "report": {
    "valid": true,
    "errors": [],
    "warnings": [
      { "code": "ACTION_MISSING_DOMAIN", "message": "Consider adding domain context", "severity": "warning" }
    ]
  },
  "summary": { "errors": 0, "warnings": 1, "passed": 16 }
}

Invalid frames return actionable suggestions:

jsonc
// Tool call: validate a frame with conflicting modes
{
  "name": "ps_validate",
  "arguments": { "frame": "โŠ•โŠ–โ–ถ", "validationLevel": "semantic" }
}

// Response: blocked โ€” strict + flexible modes conflict
{
  "valid": false,
  "summary": { "errors": 1, "warnings": 0, "passed": 10 },
  "suggestions": ["Remove either โŠ• (strict) or โŠ– (flexible) - cannot have both"]
}

2. Hold queue workflow โ€” human-in-the-loop approval

When an agent attempts a risky operation (high drift score, low confidence, security finding), the action is held for human review instead of executing. This is the full hold lifecycle: list, inspect, approve or reject.

Step 1: List pending holds

jsonc
// Tool call: ps_hold_list
{
  "name": "ps_hold_list",
  "arguments": {}
}
jsonc
// Response: one hold awaiting human review
{
  "holds": [
    {
      "holdId": "hold_7k2m9x",
      "agentId": "devops-agent",
      "frame": "โŠ•โ—ˆโ–ถฮฑ",
      "tool": "deploy_to_production",
      "severity": "high",
      "reason": "drift_prediction",
      "state": "pending",
      "evidence": { "driftScore": 0.72, "predictedDrift": 0.85 }
    }
  ],
  "count": 1,
  "expiredCount": 0
}

Step 2: Approve with modifications (or reject)

jsonc
// Tool call: ps_hold_approve โ€” approve but downgrade to staging
{
  "name": "ps_hold_approve",
  "arguments": {
    "holdId": "hold_7k2m9x",
    "reason": "Reviewed โ€” safe for staging, not production",
    "modifiedArgs": { "environment": "staging" }
  }
}
jsonc
// Response
{
  "success": true,
  "decision": {
    "holdId": "hold_7k2m9x",
    "state": "approved",
    "decidedBy": "human",
    "reason": "Reviewed โ€” safe for staging, not production"
  },
  "executionResult": { "success": true }
}

To reject instead:

JSON Config
{
  "name": "ps_hold_reject",
  "arguments": {
    "holdId": "hold_7k2m9x",
    "reason": "Drift too high โ€” recalibrate agent first",
    "haltAgent": true
  }
}
// Agent is halted (circuit breaker tripped) and the operation is denied.

3. Security scanning โ€” catch vulnerabilities before execution

Scan code content for security issues before an agent writes it to disk. Critical findings block execution; high-severity findings are held for human review.

Dockerfile
// Tool call: ps_security_scan
{
  "name": "ps_security_scan",
  "arguments": {
    "content": "const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;\nconst API_KEY = 'sk-1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef';"
  }
}
Dockerfile
// Response: two findings โ€” one critical (blocked), one critical (blocked)
{
  "findings": [
    {
      "patternId": "sql-injection",
      "severity": "critical",
      "match": "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}",
      "line": 1,
      "context": "const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`;",
      "suggestion": "Use parameterized queries or prepared statements instead of template literals"
    },
    {
      "patternId": "hardcoded-secret",
      "severity": "critical",
      "match": "API_KEY = 'sk-1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef'",
      "line": 2,
      "context": "const API_KEY = 'sk-1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef';",
      "suggestion": "Move secrets to environment variables or a secrets manager"
    }
  ],
  "scannedAt": "2026-03-19T12:00:00.000Z",
  "contentLength": 98,
  "patternsChecked": 10,
  "enforcement": {
    "blocked": [
      { "patternId": "sql-injection", "severity": "critical" },
      { "patternId": "hardcoded-secret", "severity": "critical" }
    ],
    "held": [],
    "warned": [],
    "logged": []
  }
}

Use ps_security_gate instead of ps_security_scan to enforce the policy โ€” it blocks on critical, holds high-severity for human review, and warns on medium:

jsonc
// Tool call: ps_security_gate โ€” scan AND enforce
{
  "name": "ps_security_gate",
  "arguments": {
    "content": "app.use(cors());\napp.listen(0.0.0.0, 3000);",
    "action": "write_file"
  }
}

// Response: held for review (insecure defaults = high severity)
{
  "decision": "held",
  "reason": "Security: 1 high-severity finding(s) held for review โ€” insecure-defaults",
  "scan": { "findings": [{ "patternId": "insecure-defaults", "severity": "high", "line": 1 }] }
}

How it works: 9-stage validation pipeline

Every tool call passes through this pipeline. If any stage fails, execution is blocked.

Code
Agent calls tool
  โ”‚
  โ”œโ”€ 1. Circuit Breaker โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Halted agents blocked instantly (no further checks)
  โ”œโ”€ 2. Frame Validation โ”€โ”€โ”€ Structural, semantic, and chain rule checks
  โ”œโ”€ 3. Drift Prediction โ”€โ”€โ”€ Pre-flight behavioral anomaly detection
  โ”œโ”€ 4. Hold Check โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Risky operations held for human approval
  โ”œโ”€ 5. Interceptor โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Final permission gate (confidence thresholds)
  โ”œโ”€ 6. Security Scan โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Scans write actions for vulnerabilities (see below)
  โ”œโ”€ 7. Tool Execution โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Only reached if all 6 pre-checks pass
  โ”œโ”€ 8. Post-Audit โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Confirms behavior matched prediction
  โ””โ”€ 9. Immediate Action โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Halts agent if critical drift detected post-execution

Stages 1-6 are pre-execution โ€” the tool never runs if any check fails. Stages 8-9 are post-execution โ€” they detect drift and can halt the agent for future calls.

Security scanning

When an agent writes code (write_file, edit_file, create_file, patch_file), the content is scanned against 10 detection patterns before execution. Severity determines enforcement:

SeverityEnforcementWhat it catches
CRITICALBlocked โ€” execution deniedSQL injection via template literals, hardcoded API keys/passwords/tokens
HIGHHeld โ€” queued for human reviewSecurity-related TODOs, logging sensitive data, insecure defaults (cors(), 0.0.0.0, debug: true)
MEDIUMWarned โ€” logged, execution continuesEmpty catch blocks, hedging comments ("probably works"), disabled tests
LOWLogged โ€” no enforcementDROP TABLE, rm -rf (flagged for awareness)
