Summary

Adds inter-agent trust verification for MetaGPT multi-agent teams using Agent-Mesh.

Problem

MetaGPT enables powerful multi-agent collaboration, but agents interact without verifying trust:

  • ProductManager sends requirements → Is PM authorized?
  • Architect designs system → Can we trust the design?
  • Engineer writes code → Should we execute untrusted code?

Solution

Trust verification at every interaction:

  • TrustedRole: Wraps roles with cryptographic identity
  • TrustPolicy: Configurable trust requirements
  • TrustVerifier: Verifies interactions between agents
  • TrustedTeam: Team wrapper with enforcement

Example

\\python
from metagpt.ext.agentmesh import TrustedTeam, TrustPolicy, TrustLevel

policy = TrustPolicy(
min_trust_level=TrustLevel.MEDIUM,
sensitive_actions={"WriteCode", "ExecuteCode"},
sensitive_action_trust=TrustLevel.HIGH,
)

team = TrustedTeam(policy=policy)
team.add_role(ProductManager(), trust_level=TrustLevel.HIGH)
team.add_role(Engineer(), trust_level=TrustLevel.MEDIUM)

Verifies trust before interaction

team.verify_message("ProductManager", "Engineer", "AssignTask")
\\

Changes

  • Added \metagpt/ext/agentmesh/\
    • \ rust_layer.py\ - Core trust primitives
    • _init_.py\ - Public exports
    • \README.md\ - Documentation

Value for MetaGPT Users

Feature Without Trust With Agent-Mesh
Agent Identity None Cryptographic DIDs
Interaction Control None Policy-based
Sensitive Actions Unrestricted Trust-gated
Audit Trail None Full logging

References

Adds trust verification for MetaGPT multi-agent collaboration.

Features:
- TrustedRole: Role wrapper with cryptographic identity
- TrustPolicy: Configurable trust requirements
- TrustVerifier: Verifies interactions between agents
- TrustedTeam: Team wrapper with trust enforcement
- Dynamic trust updates based on behavior
- Full audit trail of interactions

Why: When agents collaborate on code, trust verification
prevents malicious or compromised agents from causing harm.

Ready for Final Review 🙏

This PR has been open for a while. The AgentMesh trust layer integration is complete and tested.

Could a maintainer please provide a final review? Happy to address any remaining concerns.

Thank you!
