Every AI Decision.
Cryptographically Sealed.
Capsules are immutable cryptographic records of every AI operation — what triggered it, what the AI knew, why it decided, who authorized it, what it did, and what happened. The trust foundation for autonomous AI.
Capsule Anatomy
Six Sections. Complete Traceability.
Trigger
What started this?
The event, command, or signal that initiated the AI action — user message, schedule, webhook, or agent decision.
Context
What did the AI know?
The knowledge window — vault fragments, conversation history, and system state available at decision time.
Reasoning
Why this decision?
The chain of thought — model selection, confidence scores, alternative paths considered, and the chosen strategy.
Authority
Who approved it?
Permission verification — user identity, role bindings, policy evaluation, and any escalation or override.
Execution
What happened?
The action taken — tool calls, API requests, model invocations, token usage, latency, and cost.
Outcome
What was the result?
The final state — success or failure, output artifacts, side effects, and any follow-up actions queued.
Tamper Detection
Hash-Chained. Tamper-Evident.
Every capsule includes a SHA3-256 hash of the previous capsule, creating an unbreakable chain. Modify any record and every subsequent hash breaks — detection is instant and automatic.
Cryptographic Integrity
Dual Signatures. Quantum-Ready.
Every capsule is signed with Ed25519 today and optionally co-signed with ML-DSA-65 for post-quantum resilience. When quantum computers arrive, your audit trail is already protected.
Ed25519
Classical · Required
Elliptic curve signature with 128-bit security. Sub-microsecond verification. The standard signature on every capsule.
ML-DSA-65
Post-Quantum · Optional
Lattice-based signature resistant to quantum attacks. NIST standardized. Enable today for forward security against future threats.
Data Lifecycle
Three Layers. Automatic Decay.
Capsule data is partitioned into three privacy layers with automatic retention policies. Sensitive details are encrypted and expire — summaries live forever.
Summary Layer
Capsule ID, type, timestamp, agent, outcome status, and hash chain pointer. Retained indefinitely for compliance audit trails.
Detail Layer
Reasoning traces, authority checks, tool parameters, model selection. Accessible for incident review and debugging.
Full Layer
Complete prompt/response pairs, raw embeddings, full context window. Encrypted with AES-256-GCM, auto-shredded after 7 days.
Compliance Export Ready
Trust by Design.
Every Operation. Every Time.
Capsules ship with every Quantum Pipes workspace. Zero configuration. Your AI audit trail starts from the first interaction.
