What it does

AI agents are making real decisions — executing trades, accessing patient data, filing documents. But there's no way to prove what an agent is, what it's allowed to do, or what it actually did. Kakunin fixes that. It issues X.509 certificates to AI agents, monitors their behavior in real time, and auto-revokes access when risk crosses a threshold. Regulator-ready audit reports in one click. Works with LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, CAMEL, Mastra, Vercel AI SDK. Python and TypeScript SDKs.

KYC for AI agents with cryptographic identity, behavioral accountability, and regulator-ready audit trails. Built for regulated financial institutions and fintech teams.

Kakunin is KYC compliance infrastructure for AI agents. Issue X.509 identities, monitor behaviour in real time, and generate regulator-ready audit trails. Delegate scoped authority, score what your agent does and says, and prove control on any framework. Call kkn.agents.certify() . AWS KMS issues an X.509 certificate binding your agent’s identity, operator, and permitted actions. Done in < 3 seconds. Every agent action — API call, decision, transaction — hits the ingest endpoint. 1,000 events/s, p99 200ms. Immutable audit log builds automatically. Behavioral drift detection runs continuously. Content-risk scoring flags what the agent said , not just what it did. Rolling 30-day trust score.…from kakunin.ai

    I’ve been experimenting with AI agents lately, and one problem kept coming up: they either get a raw API key with full access or nothing at all. That’s risky, especially if you’re testing agents that can make arbitrary calls. So I hacked together a tiny package called Kage Keys - https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kagehq&#x2F;keys It lets you wrap agent actions with scoped, short-lived tokens instead of handing over your real API keys. Example: ```js import { withAgentKey, getLogs } from "@kagehq&#x2F;keys"; async function main() { await withAgentKey("github:repos.read", async () => {…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok&#x2F;s prefill and 1200 tok&#x2F;s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
