# Clawb Docs

Clawb is an **agent control plane for production systems**.

When an agent asks your system to do something sensitive (refund money, deploy to prod, call a paid API), your backend uses Clawb’s control plane to verify identity and enforce a policy decision:

* **allow** → proceed
* **challenge** → require extra proof (human approval, 2FA, business-hours rule, telemetry threshold, etc.)
* **deny** → block

## What Clawb controls at runtime

* **Identity verification**: verify signed agent requests (`/v1/verify`).
* **Policy decisioning**: evaluate action context and return `allow | challenge | deny` (`/v1/check`).
* **Bounded credentials**: mint short-lived credentials for follow-on provider calls.
* **Audit + incident response**: query/export evidence and use kill switch controls during incidents.

## 60-second integration path

1. Create and attest an agent passport (`agent_id` + key).
2. Verify inbound signed requests in your backend service or gateway.
3. Call `/v1/check` immediately before sensitive actions.
4. Enforce `allow | challenge | deny` in code.
5. Capture trace/audit signals and wire incident controls.

## Decision semantics

| Decision    | What your service should do                                |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `allow`     | Execute the action (and enforce any returned constraints). |
| `challenge` | Pause execution and route to an approval/step-up workflow. |
| `deny`      | Block execution and return a safe error response.          |
