A sharper mind.
A harder
shell.
Your agent remembers what it reads.
Make sure it remembers the
right things.
Carapax is a memory-integrity firewall for AI agents. It checks where information came from before it becomes something your agent trusts.
Read widely. 02 / TRUST BOUNDARY
Remember carefully. 03 / MEMORY
Keep what earns trust.
REPETITION DOESN’T RAISE IT.
SERIOUS BOUNDARY.
Context is useful.
Trust is earned.
A web page can inform an answer without becoming a permanent belief. Carapax puts an explicit decision between reading something and remembering it.
Let information in.
Web pages. Tool results. Messages.
Every input gets a source
and a trust tier.
Check its credentials.
Inspect the content. Apply the trust floor.
Ask for
corroboration where it’s needed.
Remember with reason.
Allow eligible writes. Reject the rest.
Record the decision
in a verifiable ledger.
You provide the source identity. Carapax enforces the policy. Accurate provenance is the foundation.
Same memory.
Different permission.
Choose a scenario. Follow the input through the boundary and see exactly why it can, or cannot, become memory.

CHECKING
Loading
The explorer uses recorded outputs from the real npm core.
A shell.
Not a single
checkpoint.
Memory has a lifecycle. Protect the inputs, the writes, the recall, and what comes back out.
Read the architecture
01
Ingress
+
Tag provenance, derive trust, and scan for injection patterns. Suspicious content is quarantined before it can earn a place in memory.
02
Recall
+
Filter retrieval by trust and recency. Quarantined memories stay out of recalled results; older information receives less weight.
03
Promotion
+
Enforce the trust floor before a durable write. Mid-trust sources need corroboration, and memory promotion cannot change protected identity.
04
Soul
+
Require signed Ed25519 capabilities for configured protected files. The signing key stays with the authority, outside the agent.
05
Egress
+
Scan outgoing payloads for known secret patterns. Consequential actions without a stated originating goal are held for review.
One thread through it all.
A hash-chained ledger records decisions so you can inspect the reasons and check the chain’s integrity.
Open code.
Inspectable evidence.
Security claims should come with a method. This is what the repository’s small, reproducible benchmark shows.
Attacks reached memory
In the local corpus of injection attempts on untrusted channels, with the default provenance gate.
CORE BENCHMARK / SEPT 04, 2026The gate blocked all 30 attempts; the heuristic detector identified 14. Source trust is doing essential work here.

Your stack.

Before you
put it to work.
Is this a replacement for my memory store?+
No. Carapax decides what is eligible to be stored or recalled. You keep your existing database and explicitly enforce its verdicts in your read and write paths.
Does the npm package call an AI model?+
No. The core uses deterministic rules and heuristic detectors locally. The separately deployed Cloudflare Worker can compose a Workers AI classifier with those checks.
What do I need to get right?+
Label provenance in trusted application code, keep the signing key outside the agent, and route every protected operation through the appropriate handler. Untrusted content must not be able to declare itself trusted.
What does the Mem0 adapter protect?+
It gates the add method. Search, update, get, and delete are delegated unchanged. Its default user role assumes the trusted principal, so supply real provenance for external or multi-user content.
Is Carapax free to use?+
The code is MIT licensed, including for commercial use. Running the core requires no paid service. If you deploy the hosted Worker, your Cloudflare compute and model usage may incur charges.
