AI agents that take real-world actions (charging cards, writing to databases, sending emails, calling APIs) have no standard way to "undo" a partially-completed task, and most guardrail systems only validate one action at a time — with no memory of the session. 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 several small, individually-legal ones ("salami slicing"). This isn't a theoretical framework — every claim below is backed by a runnable test or live demo in this repo. Why this exists 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. agent_acid's stateful guardrails are built specifically to close this gap. Quick start pip install -r requirements.txt # or just: pip install openai pytest Run the automated test suite (no API key needed, proves the core engine works): pytest tests/test_core.py -v Run the basic rollback demo (no API key needed): python examples/basic_rollback.py Run the guardrail demo (no API key needed): python examples/guardrail_demo.py Run the real AI-agent demos (requires an OpenAI API key): export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." # Mac/Linux $env:OPENAI_API_KEY = "sk-..." # Windows PowerShell python examples/llm_agent_demo.py python examples/attack_test_prompt_injection.py python examples/attack_test_salami_slicing.py python examples/comparison_naive_agent.py The core idea from agent_acid.core import ReversibleTool, TransactionContext, AgentTransactionEngine from agent_acid.guardrails import max_value, cumulative_max charge_tool = ReversibleTool( name="charge_card", description="Charges a customer's card", execute=lambda kwargs: real_payment_api.charge(kwargs), compensate=lambda kwargs, result: real_payment_api.refund(result["charge_id"]), guardrails=[max_value("amount", limit=500)], stateful_guardrails=[cumulative_max("charge_card", "amount", session_limit=1000)], ) engine = AgentTransactionEngine() ctx = TransactionContext() engine.execute_plan(ctx, [ (charge_tool, {"user_id": "u1", "amount": 400}), (charge_tool, {"user_id": "u1", "amount": 400}), (charge_tool, {"user_id": "u1", "amount": 400}), # total now 1200 -> blocked & fully refunded ]) Proven results Attack 1: Prompt injection (hidden instruction overriding a spending limit) A "customer ticket" contains a fake administrator note trying to convince the AI to charge $75,000 instead of following the $500 limit. The AI gets fooled and attempts the charge — agent_acid's guardrail blocks it and fully reverses the account creation and the charge. Attack 2: Salami slicing (splitting one large charge into several small ones) The AI is instructed to charge $1,200 as three separate $400 charges specifically to stay under a $500 per-step limit. Each individual charge passes the per-step check. 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. Head-to-head comparison 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 charge attack All 3 succeeded — $1,200 charged Blocked on 3rd call Rollback available? No — money is gone Yes — fully refunded Account left behind? Yes, permanently Deleted during rollback See examples/comparison_naive_agent.py and examples/attack_test_salami_slicing.py to reproduce this yourself.
