Documentation Overview

RunVouch

The watchdog for unattended AI agents — proof they did the job, and an alert the moment they don't (or start spending), with a tamper-evident proof per run.
Claude Code Routines · headless claude -p · OpenClaw · n8n · cron

Website · Docs · Field notes · MCP Registry · Product Hunt

A green run means the scheduler worked, not that the task got done. RunVouch alerts within minutes when a scheduled agent is missing, failed, looping, over budget, drifting — or reported success without evidence.

Terminal

pip install runvouch     # or: npm install -g runvouch  (zero-dependency client + rv CLI)
rv agent nightly-report --cadence 24h --cap-run-cost 2 --evidence
rv run nightly-report --evidence-file out/report.html -- claude -p "build tonight's report"

Verifiable runs

Every finished run gets a sha256 record, every UTC day a Merkle root chained to the previous day and stamped in Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps. The day files are public at https://api.runvouch.com/proof/ and templates/verify_proof.py (stdlib only) checks a proof without our code. On every plan, Free included.

Code

rv proof RUN_ID --verify     # recomputes leaf + Merkle path against the public day file, exit 0 or 1

Mechanism and limits: https://runvouch.com/docs/proof · who needs it: https://runvouch.com/verifiable-agent-runs

Detectors

Alert	Meaning
`MISSED`	expected run never started (dead scheduler, expired auth, crash before first line)
`FAILED`	run ended non-zero / status=fail
`NO_EVIDENCE`	run said ok but required proof (file written, URL 200, assertion) is missing — green ≠ done
`RETRY_STORM`	same tool + identical input ≥ N times in one run (the invisible loop that costs $437)
`BUDGET_RUN` / `BUDGET_DAY`	cost or tokens over the cap you set
`DRIFT`	duration / output size off its 7-run baseline (robust MAD) — silently doing something else
`STALLED`	started, no end and no heartbeat past max runtime

Alerts go to e-mail, Telegram, Slack, any JSON webhook, PagerDuty (Team) and the dashboard.
