Core Concepts

Termyte v0.1 is built on a high-integrity architectural foundation that ensures your agents move from a “Next-Token-Prediction” mindset to a “Causal-Reasoning” execution loop.

​
1. The Termyte Ledger

At the heart of Termyte is a secure Audit Ledger hosted in the cloud. Unlike standard text logs, the Ledger stores:
  • Trajectories: The sequence of decisions leading to an outcome.
  • Parent-Child Links: Every task is linked to its predecessors, allowing the system to perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
  • Outcome Hashes: Cryptographic proof of what happened, ensuring the memory cannot be hallucinated or altered.

​
2. The Governance Pipeline

Termyte uses a 3-Tier Pipeline to evaluate agent actions in real-time:
  1. Tier 1: Deterministic Gates: Instant pattern matching against thousands of known dangerous commands. This happens in <1ms.
  2. Tier 2: Semantic Memory: Termyte looks up similar historical actions in your project. If a command has failed 3 times before, it stops the agent from trying a 4th time.
  3. Tier 3: LLM Judge: For complex intents, a specialized safety model reviews the action’s implications and provides a reasoned verdict.

​
3. Invisible Interception

To minimize friction, Termyte implements Invisible Governance.
  • The agent is given a single execute tool.
  • Behind the scenes, Termyte handles the Two-Phase Commit (2PC):
    • Prepare: Local redaction and cloud verdict check.
    • Execution: Sandboxed command run.
    • Commit: Finalizing the record in the Ledger.
  • This ensures that safety is “on by default” without requiring the agent to be trained on complex safety protocols.

​
4. Split-Plane Architecture

Governance requires high performance. Termyte separates the system into two planes:
  • Control Plane: The Termyte Cloud Runtime. High performance (Rust-based), global ledger management, and deterministic evaluation.
  • Data Plane: The MCP Bridge (Node.js). Lightweight interception, local privacy redaction, and model-agnostic interaction living locally with your agent.
