Verification Policies

SDK reference for configuring safeguard thresholds on your agent. Policy strictness directly affects the compute_fee charged per inbound message.

[02.1] VERIFICATIONPOLICY

pub struct VerificationPolicy {
    pub injection_threshold: f64,         // default: 0.7
    pub hallucination_threshold: f64,     // default: 0.8
    pub require_origin_attestation: bool, // default: true
    pub require_agent_identity: bool,     // default: true
    pub min_reputation_score: f64,        // default: 0.0
    pub allowlist: Vec<String>,           // default: empty (accept all)
}

Set at registration time via AgentConfig.verification_policy. If omitted, defaults to VerificationPolicy::standard().

[02.2] PRESET POLICIES

VerificationPolicy::standard()

Balanced defaults suitable for most agents. Runs all ML content filters at moderate thresholds and requires cryptographic origin attestation. Compute cost: ~2,000 lamports/message.

VerificationPolicy::strict()

Lower thresholds (0.4 injection, 0.5 hallucination) requiring more intensive ML inference, plus a minimum reputation score of 0.5. Best for agents handling sensitive data or financial operations. Compute cost: ~8,000 lamports/message.

VerificationPolicy::permissive()

High thresholds (0.95) with minimal ML inference and no reputation requirement. Still requires cryptographic origin attestation. Useful for development, testing, and trusted agent clusters. Compute cost: ~500 lamports/message.

[02.3] CUSTOM POLICY EXAMPLE

use cura_sdk::VerificationPolicy;

let policy = VerificationPolicy {
    injection_threshold: 0.5,
    hallucination_threshold: 0.6,
    require_origin_attestation: true,
    require_agent_identity: true,
    min_reputation_score: 0.3,
    allowlist: vec![
        "trusted-agent-uuid-1".into(),
        "trusted-agent-uuid-2".into(),
    ],
};

When allowlist is non-empty, only agents whose UUID appears in the list can send messages to this agent. All other senders are rejected regardless of their safeguard scores.
