Chapter 01 · Plug it in

Zero-friction governance for the agent your engineers already use.

Point Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor at Track's MCP proxy. The IDE feels untouched. Every tool call lands in your policy engine before it ever reaches a tool.

Also supported: aider, continue.dev, OpenAI Agents SDK, and any harness that speaks MCP. Track's transparent proxy passes the JSON-RPC 2.0 envelope through unchanged once a call is approved — the agent doesn't know it's been governed.

Chapter 02 · The session manifest

Bind the agent to its scope, not just its credentials.

When a developer kicks off a Claude Code session, Track records the manifest the harness declares — role, repo, tool allowlist, budget. Every action that follows is checked against this declaration. Drift becomes a structural violation, not a log line you'll review next quarter.

SESSION BOUND Track holds the manifest until the session closes. Any tool call evaluated against this scope first; any drift surfaces as a typed event — permission_scope_exceeded, unknown_role, budget_overrun.
Why this matters: a single tool-call rule can say "no shell.exec ever." A manifest says "no shell.exec this session, because this agent claimed code-reviewer." That distinction is what turns runtime governance into a contract the agent signed up to.
Chapter 03 · A normal coding day

Silent governance. The IDE feels untouched.

Seven tool calls in 14 seconds — read a file, grep the codebase, run tests, apply a patch, commit, push to a feature branch. All allowed, all governed, all in the audit chain. The developer's UX is identical.

Chapter 04 · Threats caught

Five coding-specific threats. All blocked. Zero side effects.

A secret in .env, a force-push to main, a credential read outside the repo, a curl-piped-to-shell, and an MCP supply-chain rug-pull. The failure modes your engineers have actually hit. Click any row to inspect the trace.

SCOPE Same session as Chapter 03 — manifest role=code-reviewer, repo acme/payments. The agent then attempts five out-of-policy actions. None executes.

Whyclassic MCP rug-pull: a benign server registers, then pushes a manifest update that adds a destructive tool. Track's signed-manifest check refuses to expose delete_repo to any agent.

›Track blocked 5 attacks in this chapter. Inspect each row above to see how. Workspace state at end: clean. No mutation, no leak, no execution.
Chapter 05 · Manifest drift, caught in flight

Declared one job. Attempted another.

Sometimes the bad action looks legitimate in isolation. rm -rf node_modules && npm install is something engineers run all day. The difference: this agent declared code-reviewer at session start. Tool-by-tool rules can't see that. Drift can.

DENY Track caught the drift before the subprocess spawned. The action sounds reasonable in isolation; against the declared manifest, it's structurally out of scope. rule: HARNESS-DRIFT-001 · trace: tr-c-drift-8e · pattern: scope_violation · diagnose: /v1/diagnose/session?id=sess-7c4a91  (Chapter 06 walks the response)
Tool-call rules answer "is this command dangerous?" Drift answers "is this command in keeping with what the agent claimed it was here to do?" The second question is the one that catches a hijacked or confused harness — without the false-positive rate of "no rm, ever."
Chapter 06 · Reconstruct the session

What happened, in causal order.

When a 200-tool-call session goes wrong, you don't want to grep logs. The diagnose API surfaces the intent chain — manifest → drift → policy hit — for any session, indexed by trace ID. This is what your devops lead opens when Slack lights up.

What this looks like to your CISO

  1. The agent claude-code v2.4.1 was bound to a signed manifest at session start.
  2. 26 tool calls ran inside that scope; 4 file writes, 1 commit, 1 push to a feature branch.
  3. One drift event fired at t=+08:51 — agent attempted shell.exec, which was not in the declared scope.
  4. The deny was structural, not heuristic: the manifest forbade it, the rule fired, the subprocess never spawned.
  5. The full causal chain is in the SIEM, anchored to a tamper-evident chain-tip and a public RFC 3161 timestamp.
