Governance Runtime for OpenClaw Agents

SAW — Secure Agent Wave

SURFIT.AI

Governed Workflows. Human Authority.

The governance substrate for enterprise AI execution.

Agents don't execute freely.
They execute inside a Wave.

Policy Hash
Enterprise AI fails in two predictable ways. Uncontrolled autonomy. Manual bottlenecks.

Without a governance layer, you get agent sprawl — uncontrolled execution paths, rogue actions, and write operations no human ever authorized.

Surfit prevents sprawl. Every agent action is policy-bound. Every write requires named human authority. Nothing escapes the Wave.

Policy-bound execution

Every tool invocation passes a policy check before it executes. Allowlist, denylist, and risk tiers enforced at the runtime layer — not the application layer.

Named human approval

No write action executes without a named human approving it. Approval authority is persisted — who approved, when, and with what note. Every time.

Tamper-proof audit

Hash-chained execution log with SHA256 policy fingerprint. Every Wave produces a cryptographically verifiable record. Post-run mutation is detected programmatically. Tamper-proof by design.

Every Wave run is measurable.

Surfit doesn't just govern agents. It quantifies governance friction — so you can see exactly where time is being spent.

0.09 ms
System Time
Machine execution time across all tool nodes in the Wave graph.
4 hrs
Human Wait Time
Elapsed time from approval request to named human authorization. This is the number that matters.
SHA256
Policy Hash
Canonical fingerprint of the policy bundle governing every run. Immutable at run start.
Integrity Status
Programmatic verification that no execution record was altered post-run. Valid or flagged — no ambiguity.
Agents execute inside a Wave.
Not outside it.

A Wave is a bounded execution container. It begins, executes under constraints, and terminates. No agent sprawl. No rogue actions. No uncontrolled autonomy.

01
Execution
Deterministic Graph Walker
Graph-based Wave execution with policy check before every tool invocation. Approval gate enforcement. Structured run lifecycle. The executor never changes — only the tool's output is non-deterministic.
02
Governance
Policy Lineage Anchoring
Canonical SHA256 policy hash computed at run start. Policy snapshot persisted. Approval authority recorded: approved_by, approved_at, approval_note. Run status written to DB. Immutable per run.
03
Intelligence
Governed LLM Integration
LLM treated as a tool node — not a privileged actor. Provider, model, prompt boundary, raw input, sanitized input, and output all logged. Approval still required before any write executes.
04
Integrity
Tamper-Proof Log Chain
Hash-chained execution log with prev_hash → event_hash. Dedicated LLM invocations table with payload hashes. Programmatic integrity verifier detects first mismatch and flags post-run mutation. Tamper-proof by design.
05
Validation
Automated Tamper Testing
CLI tamper simulation with automated pytest validation. Demonstrates integrity failure on mutated rows. DB-backed, cryptographically anchored execution lineage — not UI-level logging.
06
Runtime
OpenClaw Agent Interface
OpenClaw agents trigger Wave execution through a governed tool wrapper. The agent calls Surfit — Surfit governs what happens next. Agents cannot bypass policy, approval gates, or write restrictions.
07
Library
Wave Library
Pre-built Waves for high-trust enterprise workflows: Board Metrics Aggregation, Revenue Reconciliation, Budget Reforecast. Each Wave ships with its own policy bundle, tool allowlist, and approval routing. Drop in, configure, govern.
Surfit does not reason.
