Built on standards work, in the open.

Bounded capabilities, approved plans, signed answers: Maurice's design comes from years of internet standards work. We publish our drafts, our modules and our measurements.

Standards

Our co-founder Alexander Pelov has contributed to the IETF since 2016 and co-chairs IETF working groups. Two of his current Internet-Drafts address the questions Maurice answers in practice.

Internet-Draft · July 2026

Bounded Capabilities for Agent Tool Interfaces

A type declaration is not a contract: today, deciding whether an agent may call a tool takes a language model to interpret the call. The draft states the problem and asks the community how to bound tool interfaces.

Internet-Draft · July 2026

RICH: RESTful Interface for the Control-plane of Harnesses

A REST control plane to govern agent capabilities: immutable contracts, evidence provenance, compiled bindings and runtime validation, to contain drift and prevent confused-deputy attacks.

Internet-Drafts are work in progress, not standards.

AI2II: AI-assisted protocol implementation and interoperability

AI coding agents implement Internet-Drafts, test them against independent implementations, and report problems back to draft authors.

Swarm: Maurice to Maurice

Instances hand requests to each other over links the receiver approves, and every answer comes back signed.

Bounded capabilities and the vault

A tool receives one precise, limited operation, never the secret itself. The decision comes from a rule or a person, never from the model.

Edge and industrial

Maurice already talks to machines over MQTT. Running it next to equipment is work in progress: tell us about your setup.
