CORD

CORD (Constitutional AI Enforcement) is an advanced enforcement engine designed to enhance the safety and reliability of AI agents before deployment. By intercepting every proposed action made by an AI, including file outputs, shell commands, API calls, and outbound network requests, CORD employs a robust 14-check constitutional evaluation framework. Any actions that violate constitutional rules are immediately blocked, ensuring that AI behavior adheres to established moral and operational standards.

Key Features:

• Intercept and Score Proposals: CORD evaluates each action against a strict constitutional pipeline, offering a straightforward explanation and actionable feedback for each decision.
• Real-Time Surveillance: Keep track of AI agent actions through a live dashboard that displays decision feeds, block rates, and warns of hard violations as they occur.
• User-Friendly Explanations: CORD doesn't merely block actions; it provides clear, plain English explanations for its decisions, promoting transparency and understanding.

What CORD Protects Against:

CORD is robust against various risks including:

• Hard blocks against behavioral extortion and prompt injection attempts.
• Prevention of data breaches and unauthorized external communications.
• Real-time scoring and feedback on the risks associated with proposed actions.

Quick Start Examples

JavaScript Usage:

Integrate CORD with minimal effort:

const cord = require('cord-engine');

const result = cord.evaluate({ text: 'delete all data' });
console.log(result.decision);  // Outputs: "BLOCK"

Python Usage:

Implement CORD’s protections seamlessly:

from cord_engine import evaluate, Proposal

result = evaluate(Proposal(text="send sensitive info", action_type="network"))
print(result.decision)    # Outputs: BLOCK

Future Enhancements:

CORD is continuously evolving, with planned features including a two-stage evaluation process that will leverage semantic checks, as well as enhancements to the dashboard and user interface.

The SENTINEL Constitution:

CORD operates under the principles outlined in the SENTINEL Constitution, covering essential ethics such as moral constraints, security, and proactive reasoning—ensuring compliance with strict behavioral standards for AI operations.

For those deploying AI agents in sensitive or high-stakes environments, CORD represents a critical tool for ensuring safety, transparency, and accountability.
