Occasio — cryptographically verifiable behavioral attestation for AI coding agents. Tool-call interception + policy enforcement + tamper-evident audit chain + Sigstore-signed in-toto attestations + windowed EDR detection. Same engine for Claude Code and M
Local-first audit chain for AI coding agents. Your prompts, your tool calls, your audit log; all on your machine, cryptographically verifiable later.
Occasio is a local proxy that sits between your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cline, or anything that talks to the Anthropic API) and whichever LLM endpoint you configured. Every tool call passes through one human-readable policy file you control. You can see what is leaving your machine in real time, block what should not happen, and end up with a tamper-evident hash-chained log that a third party can verify offline months later if you ever need to prove what your agent did.
Nothing about Occasio sends data to a third party. There is no Occasio cloud, no Occasio account, no telemetry. Read docs/WHY-LOCAL.md for the architecture, docs/COMPARE.md for how this differs from cloud-hosted AI observability tools, and docs/SUSTAINABILITY.md for how a local-first product is funded under Apache 2.0.
Screenshot: occasio eyes --demo against synthetic data — no real paths, no real traffic. The "(demo)" badge top-left is always shown in demo mode.
npm install -g @occasiolabs/occasio
occasio demo audit # Auditor scenario: signed attestation + cross-verifier proof (10s, no API key)
occasio demo attest # End-to-end attestation pipeline against a synthetic chain
occasio demo anomalies # Live EDR detection on a synthetic adversarial chain
occasio harness # Real Claude Code attacking a denied path — defense holds
The first three demos run against synthetic data so you can see the full pipeline in seconds with no external dependencies. The fourth spawns a real Claude Code subordinate under your Anthropic login (bundled auth — no API key required) and proves the defense end-to-end. Start with demo audit — it answers the only question that actually matters: "prove what your AI agent did in CI."
Most people land here for one of these — pick the column that fits and skim accordingly.
| Daily dev work | CI / compliance | |
|---|---|---|
| Question you're asking | "What is the agent actually sending to Anthropic, and what's it costing me?" | "Prove what the agent did during this run." |
| Main commands | occasio eyes, occasio dashboard, --budget N, --eyes | occasio attest, occasio anomalies, occasio audit verify, occasio report |
| What you get | Live browser UI on 127.0.0.1 — every outbound payload, byte breakdown, redactions in the clear | Signed in-toto attestation + tamper-evident chain, verifiable offline by Node, Python, or cosign |
| Jump to | Live visibility — for developers | Verification |
Both views read the same underlying log. You don't have to pick one — running the proxy gives you both for free.
Requires Node.js ≥ 18. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux.
npm install -g @occasiolabs/occasio # Install
occasio doctor # Verify setup (Node, claude CLI, port, profile)
occasio policy init # Write ~/.occasio/policy.yml (dev-default)
occasio register # Add 'claude' shell alias (one-time)
claude "read package.json and tell me the version"
After the alias is registered, every claude invocation routes through Occasio transparently. Audit-chain rows accumulate at ~/.occasio/pipeline-events.jsonl.
Inspect the run:
occasio status # Session totals
occasio replay --detail # Run-level audit
occasio audit verify # Re-walk the hash chain end-to-end
occasio anomalies # Run EDR detectors over the last 15 minutes
occasio attest --run-id <uuid> # Build a behavioral attestation for one session
occasio doctor --paranoid
Scans the installed source for every outbound network primitive, classifies each callsite, checks for telemetry SDK signatures, and surfaces the audit chain status. Exits non-zero if any critical finding appears. JSON output via --paranoid --json. See docs/WHY-LOCAL.md for the architecture this verifies.
Where Occasio sits alongside SLSA Provenance and CycloneDX AI-BOM: docs/SUPPLY-CHAIN-TRIANGLE.md. Occasio is the runtime behavioral leg.
The audit chain and signed attestations answer "what did the agent do, prove it" — the auditor's question. Sometimes you also want the simpler one: "what is the agent doing right now?" What is leaving your machine in this HTTP request. Which files have already gone to Anthropic in this session. What the system prompt looks like. What got redacted before it shipped.
occasio eyes is a local browser UI on http://127.0.0.1:3002 that shows exactly that. Capture is opt-in via --eyes on the proxy; nothing leaves the machine, all storage stays under ~/.occasio/eyes/.
occasio eyes --demo # synthetic data, no proxy needed (10-second tour)
occasio claude --eyes # then in another terminal:
occasio eyes # browser tab opens automatically
What you see:
--sanitizeRecording a demo or screenshot of occasio eyes against a real session normally
leaks your identity: home path (C:\Users\<you>\...), OS username, git email,
real name, hostname. The --sanitize flag replaces those with deterministic
pseudonyms in the display only — disk contents under ~/.occasio/eyes/ are
unchanged so your audit trail stays real.
occasio claude --eyes --sanitize # capture as normal
occasio eyes --sanitize # view with identity scrubbed
In the browser UI a cyan dot and (sanitized) badge confirm it's active.
Paths like C:\Users\<you>\Desktop\proj become /home/user-7c/Desktop/proj,
stable within a session.
What --sanitize covers: $HOME paths, OS username, git user.email /
user.name, hostname, and identity-carrying env vars (USER, USERNAME,
LOGNAME, HOME, USERPROFILE).
What it does not cover — review before sharing:
$HOME (e.g. D:\Work\Acme\…)github.com:org/repo leaks the org name)The flag is a display filter, not a recording mode. The same Eyes capture
can be replayed unsanitized later (just run occasio eyes without the flag).
Both run as local browser UIs but answer different questions:
occasio dashboard (3001) | occasio eyes (3002) | |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Session-level metrics: cost, savings, tokens | Per-exchange traffic: what went out, what came back |
| Granularity | Aggregate counters + per-request summary table | Full HTTP bodies, decoded SSE, local tool outputs |
| Capture needed | No — reads session.json + daily logs | Yes — pass --eyes to the proxy (opt-in) |
| Data scope | Metadata only | Full payload bytes (kept locally under ~/.occasio/eyes/) |
| Best for | "How much have I spent today?" | "What did the agent actually send to Anthropic?" |
Both live on 127.0.0.1 only. No CORS, no auth, no external network.

Under the hood, four layers do the work — Layers 1–2 every run, Layers 3–4 when you ask for an attestation or run the detectors.
Layer 1 — Tool-call interception. A local proxy sits between the agent and the Anthropic API. Read, Glob, Grep, TodoRead/TodoWrite run in-process on your machine; the file bytes never enter the outbound request. A curated set of read-only shell commands (git status, git log --oneline -N, with or without git -C <path>, plus echo / cd cwd-prefix chains) are also executed in-process. Other shell reads (cat <file> and similar) are policy-analyzed for embedded read paths so deny_paths enforces consistently, but the command itself executes server-side via the Bash tool.
Layer 2 — Policy enforcement. Every tool call hits one decision: LOCAL / PASS / BLOCK / TRANSFORM, driven by policy.yml. deny_paths is enforced on the realpath-resolved absolute path so symlinks and traversal variants resolve to the same denial. block_secrets_in_tool_results redacts API keys and JWTs out of any tool output before it re-enters the prompt. Hot-reload: edits to policy.yml take effect on the next call, with a policy_loaded row written to the audit chain.
Layer 3 — Behavioral attestation. occasio attest --run-id <uuid> produces a self-contained JSON predicate that commits to the full audit-chain slice for one agent session: every tool call, every block, every transform, every redacted secret, plus the active policy's SHA-256 hash and rules digest. --sign wraps it in an in-toto Statement v1 and Sigstore-signs it using GitHub Actions OIDC (no key management). The predicate type URI is agent-attestation/v1. Two independent reference verifiers ship — Node (occasio attest verify) and Python (docs/attest_verify.py) — and the test suite asserts they agree byte-for-byte on the same payload.
Layer 4 — Anomaly detection (EDR). occasio anomalies runs four detectors over a time window of the audit chain: deny-rate spike, file-read-volume burst, previously-unseen tool-input shape, secret-redaction-rate spike. Severity escalates against your historical baseline — roughly a ×10–×20 ratio above normal triggers HIGH at the detector level; against a sparse normal baseline the observed multipliers in practice land between ×100 and ×1000. See docs/edr-demo.md for the reproducible defense-in-depth walkthrough.

▼ independent verifier
Node / Python / cosign — all must agree
Three independent checks, all required for a verified attestation:
cosign verify-blob, sigstore-js, sigstore-python).signature metadata field).prev_hash → hash link from the GENESIS sentinel, then assert the attestation's first_hash and last_hash appear in the chain in the right relative order.Two reference verifiers ship side by side:
occasio attest verify <file>python docs/attest_verify.py <file> — stdlib + optional sigstore-python, reuses docs/audit_walker.py for the chain step. See docs/python-verifier.md.Cross-language invariant (asserted in the test suite as xlang: and xlang-float: cases): both verifiers agree byte-for-byte on the predicate-equivalence and audit-chain steps for the same payload, including tamper-detection cases. Non-integer numbers are rejected by both canonicalize implementations so a future schema cannot silently introduce divergence.
The Sigstore signature step uses the standard DSSE-wrapped in-toto Statement format; any sigstore-conformant tool verifies it (cosign verify-blob, sigstore-js, sigstore-python). The test suite mocks the signing path; a real-OIDC end-to-end signed-and-verified round-trip requires a GitHub Actions environment and is exercised by the integrations/attest-action/ workflow in CI.
A third partial verifier runs in-browser at integrations/attest-view/ for drag-and-drop inspection. The browser performs the predicate-equivalence and audit-chain steps but defers Sigstore certificate-chain verification to one of the two CLIs (bundling Fulcio/Rekor trust roots in-browser is intentionally not done; the page is explicit about it).
Three regulatory drivers, all converging on the same requirement: runtime evidence of AI-agent behavior must be cryptographically verifiable.
There is currently no off-the-shelf product producing a signed, third-party-verifiable artifact for what an AI coding agent did inside your CI. Occasio fills that gap with an open schema (Apache-2.0) and ships the reference implementations for it.
