IntentGuard — Transaction Outcome Enforcement Layer
IntentGuard Enforcement Layer Agent's Team
Problem Statement
AI agents can construct and sign transactions, but they cannot guarantee outcomes. Between simulation and block inclusion, market conditions change: prices move, liquidity shifts, and MEV actors exploit ordering. Existing safeguards (such as amountOutMin) are partial and local to a single step, and still result in failed or suboptimal execution — often consuming gas. There is no native mechanism to enforce that a transaction’s final economic outcome matches user intent before inclusion. This becomes critical for autonomous agents managing capital: even correct decisions can produce incorrect outcomes. At scale — across thousands of agent-executed transactions per day — this gap compounds into systematic, unavoidable loss. IntentGuard introduces outcome enforcement as a new execution primitive: transactions execute only if their economic results remain within defined bounds.
Core invariant Transactions execute only if the outcome matches intent. Otherwise, nothing happens. Description IntentGuard is a deterministic execution gate. It does not interpret transactions — it enforces outcomes. It sits between transaction construction and submission. A transaction can be valid, signed, and confirmed — and still be economically wrong. IntentGuard prevents this by enforcing balance constraints on the final state. Constraints Agents express protection intent as: - max spend → Δtoken ≥ -X - min receive → Δtoken ≥ +Y - no balance decrease → Δtoken ≥ 0 These constraints are compiled into enforceable on-chain checks. Example Swap 1000 USDC for WETH Constraints: - max spend: 1000 USDC - min receive: 0.49 WETH Compiled to: - ΔUSDC ≥ -1000 - ΔWETH ≥ +0.49 If violated: → not included on-chain → no execution → no gas paid Architecture - Claude Code skill → intent parsing & orchestration - MCP server → deterministic constraint compilation - Flashbots relay → enforced inclusion IntentGuard sits between transaction construction and submission. Ecosystem MetaMask Delegation defines what actions an agent may take. IntentGuard defines what outcomes are acceptable. Together: permission control + outcome enforcement = safe delegated execution. Uniswap enforces execution parameters at the router level. IntentGuard enforces the final account balance outcome — independent of route or intermediary steps. Protects against multi-hop slippage, MEV, and unexpected price movement. Base agent service: IntentGuard is exposed as an MCP service agents invoke before any transaction. Payment via x402 (intended). No human in the payment loop.

Currently live on Sepolia. Mainnet launch planned for 2026. IntentGuard is positioned as a foundational execution primitive for AI-managed capital — an enforcement layer any agent can call before submitting transactions.
