Signed audit chain for any workflow

Every step of a multi-agent workflow becomes a signed Verifiable Credential. Pull the whole chain in topological order with one request.

A regulated workflow runs across five agents. Each step produces a signed credential. Query the workflow ID and you get the whole chain in topological order — auditor-ready.

from agentfield import Agent

app = Agent(
    node_id="claims-pipeline",
    enable_did=True,
    vc_enabled=True,
)

@app.reasoner()
async def regulated_claim(claim: dict) -> dict:
    # Each cross-agent call becomes a signed VC node in the workflow chain
    validated = await app.call("validator.check_claim", claim=claim)
    if not validated.get("valid"):
        return {"status": "rejected", "reason": validated["reason"]}

    risk = await app.call("risk-engine.assess", claim=claim)
    decision = await app.call("adjudicator.decide", claim=claim, risk=risk)

    return {"decision": decision, "workflow_id": app.note("decided", ["audit"])}

app.run()

Pull the full audit chain when an auditor asks:

# Every step in this workflow, signed and topologically ordered
curl http://localhost:8080/api/ui/v1/workflows/<workflow_id>/vc-chain

# Verify all of them in one request
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/ui/v1/workflows/<workflow_id>/verify-vc

# Or download a single VC for offline verification
curl http://localhost:8080/api/ui/v1/vc/<vc_id>/download > step.json
af vc verify step.json

From any run page, the Export provenance menu surfaces the VC chain — preview JSON, download for af verify, or jump to the offline audit tool:

Run detail page with Export provenance dropdown showing Preview VC chain, Download VC audit JSON, and Open Audit tool options

Drop the downloaded JSON into the Provenance page to audit offline — bundled DID data, no network round-trip:

The chain response tells you exactly how many steps signed cleanly:

{
  "workflow_id": "wf_d4e5f6",
  "vc_count": 5,
  "verified_count": 5,
  "failed_count": 0,
  "chain": [
    { "execution_id": "exec_1", "vc_id": "vc_001", "issuer_did": "did:key:...", "status": "verified" }
  ]
}

What this gives you

One request returns every signed step of a workflow, in order.
Verification is a single POST — no per-step round-tripping.
Each VC contains SHA-256 hashes of input and output, so you can verify a step without exposing its data.
