MemGuard — State Verification Oracle

"Is my memory/state still correct right now?"

MemGuard is a standalone state verification oracle for autonomous AI agents. Before any agent trusts its memory, context, or state — MemGuard verifies it. It returns a drift score, confidence rating, suggested action, and a cryptographic proof hash as an immutable record of every verification.

MemGuard is not a memory system. It is not a database. It is not a RAG service.

MemGuard is a verification oracle. The difference matters: agents don't store memory here — they verify it.


Why This Exists

Autonomous agents fail silently. Not because their logic is wrong — because their state is stale.

  • A trading agent acts on a price that's 10 minutes old
  • A task agent restarts and assumes its previous context is still valid
  • A multi-agent handoff passes state that has drifted from reality

These aren't execution failures. They're state integrity failures. MemGuard catches them before the agent acts.


How It Works

When an agent is about to act, it sends its current state and expected reference state to MemGuard. MemGuard runs two checks:

1. Structural Diff (70% weight) Compares fields, types, and values between state and referenceState. Missing fields, type mismatches, and value divergence all increase the drift score.

2. Timestamp Decay (30% weight) Checks how old the state is. The older the state, the higher the decay contribution to the drift score.

A final driftScore from 0 to 1 determines the suggestedAction:

driftScore suggestedAction
< 0.1 proceed
0.1 – 0.3 refresh
0.3 – 0.6 rehydrate
> 0.6 escalate

Every decision is stored as a GER (Guaranteed Execution Record) with a SHA-256 proof hash.

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/achilliesbot/memguard.git
cd memguard
pip install flask psycopg2-binary
python memguard_server.py

Server starts on port 5080.

Test It

# Matching state — should return proceed
curl -X POST http://localhost:5080/memguard/check \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"state": {"price": 100, "ts": 1710000000}, "referenceState": {"price": 100, "ts": 1710000000}, "agentId": "test_agent"}'

# Drifted state — should return rehydrate
curl -X POST http://localhost:5080/memguard/check \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"state": {"price": 100, "ts": 1709990000}, "referenceState": {"price": 105, "ts": 1710000000}, "agentId": "test_agent"}'
