EKKA DEVELOPER GUIDE
The governed runtime for AI agents¶
An agent is the AI equivalent of a human expert. It holds plans: the things that expert knows how to do, in the order they belong in. You write the plans. EKKA runs them in your own environment and proves what happened.
Every action an agent takes is authorized before it happens and signed after. Anyone can check the record for themselves, offline.
EKKA is the governed runtime where AI agents become software you can trust. Experts encode what they know as execution plans anyone can run. Gates enforce, Govern decides and never sees your credentials, and receipts prove what happened and meter what it cost. The category is governed execution.
Governance is built into how your agent runs. Every allowed action comes back with a signed receipt you can verify offline. Anything without a Grant stops before any I/O, and that decision is recorded too.
Your prompts, your rows, your files and your credentials never reach EKKA. We can prove what happened because we signed it, not because we saw it. That is the security model, and every claim in it comes with the command that checks it.
Start here¶
-
Five acts, about fifteen minutes: get a runtime you control, meet your agent, give it a job, point it at your own API, then verify the proof.
-
A folder on your own disk that is the agent's memory, a plan that adds to it on a schedule, and a weekly memo written with a prompt EKKA never reads. Our flagship recipe.
-
Nothing moves without permission, and every claim on the page ships with the command that proves it. Grants, deny before I/O, what EKKA can never see, and proof you verify offline.
-
The four words that are EKKA: Gate, Grant, Gate Token, and Receipt, plus agents, plans, and the Enclave, what you build and how EKKA governs it.
-
One operation, slowed right down: refused with no Grant, authorized, allowed, and returned as signed proof.
-
Every capability is on from day one. What your agent can reach, what EKKA counts, and the daily ceiling that caps your bill.
-
$5 of credit to start, no card. After that, one cent per governed operation, and a spend ceiling you can see and change.
-
What the signed audit chain proves, how to read it, and how to verify it yourself, offline.
