Observability alone can become a crime-scene camera. It can show you exactly what an AI agent did. But a detailed trace is not the same thing as a policy boundary that stops the action. Imagine an autonomous AML agent is manipulated into attempting a $500,000 transfer. The trace may tell you exactly what happened. I wanted infrastructure that could intervene earlier. So I built Raqim (رَقِيم): an open-source execution-integrity substrate and cryptographic flight recorder for autonomous AI agents, built in Rust. This 51-second demo shows a prompt-injection scenario being interdicted and a 7-step AML execution branching into a counterfactual timeline. 👇

And Raqim is not meant to replace your existing observability stack. v0.1.2 includes an OpenTelemetry export bridge. So the model is: Agent → Raqim enforcement + execution record → OpenTelemetry → your existing APM/observability stack. Raqim's focus is the part I think is missing from the basic tracing model: identity, pre-execution enforcement, durable evidence, replay and cryptographic verification.

Raqim Core is open-source under Apache-2.0. Current stack: 🦀 Rust runtime (raqim-core) 🐍 Python SDK (pip install raqim) 🔐 Ed25519 identity + Aegis 💾 WAL + crash recovery 🌳 BLAKE3 Merkle proofs ↩️ Deterministic effect replay 🌐 OpenTelemetry export v0.1.2 is now available. Code, architecture, reproducible examples and benchmarks: github.com/raqim-ai/raqim Built in Rust alongside my studies at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. I'm looking for candid architectural criticism, serious security review, and design partners running consequential AI-agent workloads.
