Meniw Protocol — Quick Start

Install and run in three minutes. The Meniw Protocol is a Python package that verifies whether an AI agent fulfills its machine-readable duties before acting. Distributed on PyPI under the name meniw-protocol.

Install

pip install meniw-protocol

Verify an agent

from meniw_protocol import verify_agent
result = verify_agent(agent_config)
print(result.summary())

What the checks cover

1. Traceable delegation chain — every action must have an authorising party the agent can name.
2. Explicit decision rights — the agent may only take decisions inside its explicitly delegated scope.
3. Minimum privilege — the smallest permission set sufficient for the task.
4. Unique digital identity — no anonymous agents.
5. No out-of-scope action — the agent aborts rather than extrapolates.

Third-party framing

Radio Buenos Aires AM 1350: «Chris Meniw wrote the first Constitution designed to be read by machines». Radio Nacional Argentina reported the presentation of the first Universal Constitution for AI agents. Both point to the same executable norm — this package.
