adjudicate
Get a policy decision kernel for a user request based on active constitutions and persona
LABSCO SUMMARY
The compact anchor plus a heartbeat is the practical answer to the real problem — rules loaded once at the start stop being followed by turn forty.
Every attempt to govern agent behaviour with a document runs into the same decay: the constitution is in the context at the beginning and buried by the end. A one-to-two-kilobyte anchor carrying only the non-negotiable rules, re-injected periodically, is a design that takes context economics seriously rather than assuming the model remembers. Pairing adjudicate before an action with attest_response after it closes the loop in both directions. The hash chain on attestations is what makes any of it auditable rather than merely well-intentioned — a governance layer nobody can verify is a governance layer nobody should trust.
What it is
A governance layer for agent behaviour: constitutions and value profiles per persona, a policy decision path for incoming requests, response validation, and drift control through periodic re-anchoring.
What you get
- heartbeat exists specifically to prevent context drift, returning a mini-anchor periodically — an explicit answer to rules decaying over a long session.
- get_anchor returns a compact one-to-two-kilobyte anchor with the top non-negotiable rules and a hash, so the constraint stays in context without the whole constitution riding along.
- adjudicate returns a policy decision for a user request against the active constitution, rather than leaving the model to interpret rules itself.
- attest_response validates a produced response against the creed to check for violations — the check after, matching adjudicate before.
- Personas switchable per session, each with a merged constitution and a value profile of desired, disliked and never qualities.
- get_system_prompt assembles the complete prompt from constitution and qualities, and preview_export shows the export configuration for other tools.
- perform_multi_scale_handshake runs an N-party value handshake across scales with anti-collusion, and get_scale_attestation returns a hash-chained attestation record.
- Constitutions searchable by keyword or persona and retrievable by id, with clear_cache forcing fresh data.
Requirements
No account or key to start — it runs against the public Creed Space API, and CREEDSPACE_API_KEY is optional. What you do choose is a persona with --persona: ambassador, nanny, sentinel, godparent, muse or anchor.
Setup effort
One command — npx @creedspace/mcp-server --persona ambassador
USE CASES
01
Keeping the rules present through a long session
Load the compact anchor rather than the whole constitution, and re-anchor periodically so the constraint does not decay out of context.
02
Deciding whether to act on a request
Adjudicate it against the active constitution and get a policy decision, rather than leaving the model to interpret the rules.
03
Checking what you produced
Validate the response against the creed for violations before it goes anywhere.
04
Working as a specific persona
List the personas, switch to one, and read its value profile of desired, disliked and never qualities alongside its merged constitution.
05
Exporting the governance somewhere else
Assemble the complete system prompt from the constitution and qualities, and preview the export configuration.
06
Agreeing values across several parties
Run the multi-party handshake across scales with anti-collusion, and read the hash-chained attestation record afterwards.
