anchor-sdk

Two-way guardrails for AI agents — gate inputs, outputs, and actions.

Install

npm install anchor-sdk

Quick start

import anchor from 'anchor-sdk'

anchor.init({
  url: "https://api.anchormonitor.com",
  sdkKey: "sk-...",       // from your ANCHOR dashboard
  agentId: "my-agent",
  task: "Answer billing and order questions for Acme store",
})

Customer-facing agents

// Gate user input BEFORE it reaches your agent
const input = await anchor.checkInput(userMessage)
if (!input.allowed) {
  return input.blockedMessage  // safe pre-written response
}

// Gate agent output BEFORE returning to the user
const output = await anchor.checkOutput(agentReply)
if (!output.allowed) return "I can't help with that."

return agentReply

Internal / workflow agents

// Gate any consequential action BEFORE it executes
const result = await anchor.checkAction("send_payment", {
  amount: 5000,
  vendor: "Acme Corp",
})

if (!result.allowed) throw new Error("Action blocked by ANCHOR")
if (result.escalate) {
  await notifyOperator(result)  // high-risk: request human approval
  return
}

// Safe to proceed
await executePayment(...)
