Abe MCP
Abe is a free, open-source, local pre-action gate for AI agents that evaluates proposed actions against user-defined policies. It runs entirely on the user's machine without requiring accounts, API keys, or network connectivity for basic checks. Abe returns one of three decisions: ACT to execute, BLOCK to deny, or ESCALATE to send to a resolver. It provides tamper-evident, hash-verified records for auditing and supports integration via Python, TypeScript, HTTP sidecar, Docker, and MCP.
Package and access
Local package with source-attributed installation metadata. Koskamo does not execute packages during review.
What you can do with it
- Prevent duplicate payments or over-budget purchases by blocking unauthorized actions
- Generate tamper-evident audit records for every agent decision
- Integrate as an MCP server to gate tool calls before execution
- Escalate ambiguous actions to a human or resolver for judgment
Source and maintenance
- Maintenance checked
