Adds domain and URL trust evaluation to Claude Desktop and compatible editors. Exposes tools that check whether a domain is safe before your agent fetches content, follows links, or performs actions. Built on the Entropy0 API, which returns a recommended action (allow, sandbox, deny) plus confidence scores and signal breakdowns like newly registered domains, brand mismatches, or certificate anomalies. Useful when you're building agents that navigate the open web and need a trust gate that explains its decisions. The underlying API is deterministic and auditable, so same inputs always produce the same output. Free tier covers 150 scans per month.
AI agents fetch URLs, follow links, and act on domains they've never seen before. Most of the time that's fine. Sometimes it isn't — phishing infrastructure, newly registered lookalike domains, brand impersonation sites, or plain malware hosting.
Entropy0 adds a trust gate between your agent and the external web. One API call returns a machine-readable recommended action your agent can reason about before it fetches, navigates, or transacts.
POST /v1/decide
{ "domain": "secure-login-verify-account.xyz" }
→ recommended_action: "deny"
confidence: 91%
signals: [NEWLY_REGISTERED_DOMAIN, BRAND_MISMATCH, CERTIFICATE_ANOMALY]
| Package | Registry | Description |
|---|---|---|
entropy0-langchain | PyPI | LangChain tool — trust-gate URLs before agents fetch from them |
@entropy0/express | npm | Express middleware — evaluate request targets through /v1/decide |
@entropy0/mcp | npm | MCP server — source trust and URL safety tools for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline |
LangChain (Python)
pip install entropy0-langchain
from entropy0_langchain import Entropy0Tool
tools = [Entropy0Tool(api_key="sk_ent0_xxxx")]
# Agent will call entropy0_trust_check before fetching any external URL
Express (Node.js)
npm install @entropy0/express
import { entropy0Guard } from "@entropy0/express";
app.use(entropy0Guard({ apiKey: process.env.ENTROPY0_API_KEY! }));
// Requests to flagged domains are blocked before your handlers run
Direct API
curl -X POST https://entropy0.ai/v1/decide \
-H "X-API-Key: sk_ent0_xxxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"domain": "example.com"}'
Each decision runs a deterministic pipeline — same inputs always produce the same output:
recommended_action + reason codes + uncertainty + bounded validity windowNo probabilistic black boxes. Auditable, explainable, overridable.
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
examples/rag-agent | LangChain agent that trust-gates every URL before fetching content |
examples/langgraph-trust-gate | LangGraph pipeline with Entropy0 trust gate + evidence usability scoring |
This example shows a four-layer retrieval pipeline:
Example run:
[entropy0] 5 approved / 1 sandboxed / 0 denied / 0 unverified
SANDBOX outpost24.com
trust signals: ['LONG_OPERATIONAL_HISTORY', 'STRONG_BRAND_ALIGNMENT']
sandbox reason: ['ELEVATED_DEVIATION']
[evidence layer]
! microsoft.com/security/blog/... boilerplate_dominant — usability=low
! genai.owasp.org/llmrisk/... boilerplate_dominant — usability=low
✓ pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/... body_text_captured — usability=high
✓ securecodewarrior.com/... body_text_captured — usability=high
The agent answered only from high-usability evidence and refused to attribute claims to sources where article body text was not captured.
This prevents a common failure mode in AI search agents:
Treating a reputable URL as equivalent to usable evidence.
