Vaara Overview

Vaara MCP server places a governance layer in front of agent and MCP tool calls. It risk-scores each action, evaluates it against policy, and allows, denies, or escalates the call before execution. Decisions, inputs, and outcomes are stored in a hash-chained audit trail with signed receipts for offline verification. Reach for it when autonomous actions need reviewable evidence and runtime controls.

Primary Use Cases for Vaara:
  • Govern high-risk agent actions before execution
  • Record autonomous tool calls for audit review
  • Verify signed action receipts offline
  • Observe proposed decisions in shadow mode
