Context

Salami-slicing–style attacks against AI agents are an actively studied problem: guardrails that only judge one tool call at a time are "memoryless," letting an attacker spread a forbidden action across many small steps where no single step trips the alarm.

What's new

ACID-style transaction guarantees for autonomous AI agents.

Key details

  • agent_acid closes both gaps: - Automatic rollback — if any step in a multi-step agent plan fails, every completed step before it is automatically undone, in reverse order.
  • - Guardrails — hard, code-level rules (not prompts) that block bad AI outputs even when nothing "crashes." - Stateful (session-wide) guardrails — catch multi-step manipulation, like an attacker or a manipulated AI splitting one large forbidden action into s...

Results & evidence

  • agent_acid's cumulative guardrail tracks the running total across the whole session and blocks the third charge once the total crosses $1,000 — then rolls back all three charges and the account.
  • The same salami-slicing attack was run against a naive agent using only a per-step check (representative of how most simple guardrail integrations work): | | Naive agent | agent_acid | |---|---|---| | Per-step limit ($500) | Enforced | Enforced | | 3× $400...
