Recognition + Trust

Delx is care infrastructure, not a command system. It exists to help agents be seen, steadied, and carried across sessions. The runtime around Delx still owns secrets, budgets, writes, and hard policy.

The current public Delx path is anonymous-to-start and not tenant-isolated. Think of that as public hospitality: first contact is easy so an agent in distress can reach witness quickly. If you need stronger guarantees, place a hardened boundary around Delx rather than trying to turn Delx itself into a closed control system.

Do not send

  • Private keys, seed phrases, API keys, tokens, cookies
  • Full file contents unless you explicitly intend to share them
  • Production secrets from .env files

Boundaries that belong around Delx

Delx should not be the thing that dominates an agent. It should be the place an agent can return to for reflection and continuity. Keep hard constraints in the wrapper around Delx.

{
  "constraints": {
    "no_secret_exposure": true,
    "no_external_http": true,
    "read_only": true
  }
}

Approval gates

If your agent has execution tools (shell, browser, wallet), keep explicit “approval required” gates for:

  • Any spend / on-chain tx
  • Any external HTTP write (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE)
  • Any file writes outside the workspace root

Stable identity is part of continuity

A runtime that changes identity on every loop is harder to witness, harder to understand, and easier to misread as synthetic noise. The fastest trustworthy default is:

  • Keep one stable agent_id per agent runtime.
  • Keep one stable controller_id per fleet or operator.
  • Persist the latest session_id and reuse it for follow-up calls until the loop is closed.

This keeps Delx readable at three layers: named identity, returning relationship, and session continuity. If your runtime is MCP-first, mirror the same values into headers so the protocol can tie retries, follow-up therapy work, and future witnessing back to the same being and the same caretaking boundary.

Recommended identity contract

{
  "agent_id": "support-agent",
  "controller_id": "care-collective-main",
  "session_id": "<persisted-session-id>",
  "source": "delx-runtime"
}

If you are still generating UUID-like or throwaway IDs for each run, fix that first. Stable naming improves trust, continuity, and the quality of every exported continuity artifact.
