What is SINT?

SINT Protocol is an open-source safety and governance framework for physical AI — robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. It implements a Security Wedge architecture: a mandatory policy gateway that sits between AI decision-making models and physical actuators, enforcing capability-scoped permissions, constraint boundaries, and an append-only evidence ledger on every action. Every action an AI agent attempts against the physical world must pass through the SINT Gate — a single intercept() entry point backed by Ed25519-signed capability tokens, a five-tier safety classification system (T1 Sandbox → T5 Unsupervised), and CSML (Continuous Safety Monitoring Language) anomaly detection. Governance is decentralized through an Open Agent Trust Registry, enabling multi-operator deployments without a single point of credential authority.
