README
agent-grounding
**Verification and debugging framework for AI agents.**
Stop agents from acting on stale assumptions, making unsupported claims, or silently switching hypotheses mid-investigation. A workspace of TypeScript packages (understanding-gate, evidence ledger, claim gate, hypothesis tracker, runtime reality checker, debug playbook engine, readme-first resolver, domain router, grounding-wrapper, grounding-sdk, review-claim-gate, MCP server) that an agent harness wires into its session and tool-call lifecycle.
Most agent tooling helps a model *talk* about a problem. `agent-grounding` makes it *prove* what it has actually checked, what it has only assumed, and what it has ruled out, before the next destructive command runs.
Architecture
Agents reach the stack two ways: a **PreToolUse gate** that blocks destructive commands until claims are grounded, and **access surfaces** (MCP, SDK, CLI) over a shared evidence ledger.
