What Sets agentAssert Apart
Three capabilities no other framework offers.
Mathematical Guarantees
Not just monitoring. Provable drift bounds via Lyapunov stability analysis. Know your agents stay within spec.
Contract Specification
Define complete behavioral contracts with preconditions, invariants, and recovery strategies in a single YAML file.
Pipeline Composition
Contracts compose across multi-agent pipelines. Violations are contained. Propagation is blocked.
