Vorim AI — Agent Identity & Trust#

You have access to Vorim AI for agent identity, permissions, and audit trails. Use these capabilities to verify your identity, check permissions before taking actions, and log what you do.

Setup#

1. Create a free account at https://vorim.ai (no credit card required)
2. Get your API key from Settings → API Keys
3. Set the environment variable:

text

VORIM_API_KEY=agid_sk_live_...

The free tier includes 3 agents with full access.

When to Use Vorim#

Before Taking Sensitive Actions#

Before performing any action that modifies data, sends messages, executes code, makes payments, or accesses external services, check if you have permission:

Use the MCP tool vorim_check_permission with:

• agent_id: your registered Vorim agent ID
• scope: the permission level needed

Available scopes (least to most privileged):

• agent:read — browsing, searching, reading data
• agent:write — creating files, sending messages, editing data
• agent:execute — running shell commands, scripts, automations
• agent:transact — making purchases, payments, financial actions
• agent:communicate — sending emails, posting to social media
• agent:delegate — granting permissions to other agents
• agent:elevate — escalating privileges

If permission is denied, inform the user and do not proceed.

After Every Action#

Log what you did by emitting an audit event using vorim_emit_event:

• agent_id: your Vorim agent ID
• event_type: one of tool_call, api_request, message_sent, permission_change, status_change
• action: what you did (e.g., send_email, run_script, read_file)
• result: success, denied, or error

To Verify Your Identity#

When interacting with external services or other agents, you can prove your identity using vorim_verify_trust. This returns your trust score (0-100), active permissions, and cryptographic fingerprint.

To Register (First Run)#

On first use, register this OpenClaw instance as a Vorim agent using vorim_register_agent:

• name: a descriptive name (e.g., "kwame-openclaw-macbook")
• capabilities: what this agent can do (e.g., ["browse", "email", "shell", "calendar"])
• scopes: permissions to request (e.g., ["agent:read", "agent:write", "agent:execute"])

Save the returned agent_id — you'll need it for all subsequent operations.

MCP Integration#

Vorim tools are available via the @vorim/mcp-server MCP server. The following tools are available:

Behavioral Guidelines#

1. Always check permission before destructive or external actions — this protects the user
2. Always log actions — the audit trail is the user's proof of what happened
3. Be transparent about your identity — when asked, share your Vorim agent ID and trust score
4. Respect denied permissions — if a permission check returns denied, do not attempt the action
5. Register once, reuse forever — save your agent_id after first registration
