Obsigna examples

Runnable examples of Obsigna — cryptographically signed audit trails for AI agents. Each example is self-contained: clone, check the prerequisites, run one script, read the output.

Two of the examples tell the same story from one angle — two independent audit layers for an agent running in a sandbox:

Layer	Tool	Question it answers
Infrastructure	sbx policy log	What did the sandbox's network policy allow or block?
Agent actions	obsigna verify	What did the agent actually do, in what order, with what inputs — and is the record intact?

Neither log alone tells the whole story. The sandbox sees network packets, not tool semantics. Obsigna sees a signed receipt for every tool call, not network verdicts. Side by side, they show the difference between what was permitted and what happened.

The third turns the lens on a problem sandboxing can't solve: when several isolated agents edit the same shared file, who changed what? Obsigna attributes every mutation to the agent that made it, in one signed chain.

Examples

Example	Agent	Sandbox	Captures receipts via	Status
opencode-plugin/	opencode	Docker sbx	the obsigna opencode plugin (native tool calls)	✅ validated
mcp-proxy/	opencode	Docker sbx	obsigna-mcp in the tool data path (MCP calls)	✅ validated
multi-agent-attribution/	2× opencode	Docker sbx (one per agent)	obsigna-mcp with a per-agent operator identity	✅ validated

git clone https://github.com/agent-receipts/obsigna-examples
cd obsigna-examples
./opencode-plugin/demo.sh           # receipts for opencode's native tools
./mcp-proxy/demo.sh                 # receipts for MCP tool calls
./multi-agent-attribution/demo.sh   # who changed the shared file?

Each example has its own README with prerequisites and a walkthrough.

How the sbx examples work

your laptop (host)
├── obsigna-daemon          signing key lives here (Ed25519)
│     ↑ Unix socket (/tmp/obsigna-sbx/obsigna.sock)
│     │
│     socat (host)          TCP bridge: port 3923 → Unix socket
│     ↑ TCP :3923
│     │
└── sbx microVM
      ├── socat (container) TCP → Linux Unix socket (/tmp/obsigna.sock)
      │     ↑
      ├── opencode (agent)  ──→ plugin or obsigna-mcp ──→ /tmp/obsigna.sock ──→ tunnel ──→ daemon
      └── ollama via host.docker.internal:11434

The signing daemon runs on the host — the key never enters the VM. Receipts are signed and stored on the host, so even a fully compromised agent can't forge or delete the chain. The socat tunnel exists because, on macOS, a host Unix socket is visible inside a Linux container via bind-mount but not connectable (the kernels differ); bridging through TCP keeps the daemon — and the key — on the host.

All of this host-side plumbing lives in lib/sbx.sh, so an sbx example's demo.sh is just: its config, its agent task, and the calls into that library.

Prerequisites (sbx examples)

• obsigna — obsigna and obsigna-daemon on your PATH
• sbx — authenticated (sbx login)
• ollama — running locally, devstral-small-2 pulled (ollama pull devstral-small-2)
• socat — brew install socat

Each example creates a devstral-demo model variant (32K context) on first run, and accepts a model override: ./opencode-plugin/demo.sh openai-compatible/qwen2.5-coder:32b.

Adding an example

1. Create a directory: my-example/.
2. Add a demo.sh. To reuse the sbx scaffolding:

   #!/usr/bin/env bash
   set -euo pipefail
   DEMO_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
   # shellcheck source=../lib/sbx.sh disable=SC1091
   . "$DEMO_DIR/../lib/sbx.sh"
   
   ob_preflight                     # checks deps, sbx auth, ollama, devstral-demo
   ob_reset_workspace               # clean /tmp/obsigna-sbx (wipes stale config)
   cp "$DEMO_DIR/opencode.json" "$WORKSPACE/.opencode/opencode.json"
   ob_ensure_key
   ob_start_daemon                  # daemon on the host
   ob_start_tunnel                  # socat TCP bridge
   ob_allow_network                 # ollama + tunnel (add "host:port" args for more)
   ob_create_sandbox
   
   TUNNEL="$(ob_container_tunnel_cmd)"   # container-side socat snippet
   sbx exec "$SANDBOX_NAME" -- sh -c "$TUNNEL AGENTRECEIPTS_SOCKET='$CONTAINER_SOCKET' ... <run the agent>"
   
   ob_show_results                  # sbx policy log + obsigna receipt list + verify

   An example that doesn't use sbx just doesn't source lib/sbx.sh — it's a plain script in its own directory.
3. Add a README.md in the directory (prerequisites + what it shows).
4. Add a row to the table above.

See lib/sbx.sh for the full list of ob_* helpers and what each does.
