Exec-constrained token policy
Tokens for the bl exec endpoint (bin/exec-constrained.py) are infrastructure
secrets. This policy binds every operator and agent in the fleet.
(exec-constrained.py replaced bin/exec-server.py on 2026-10-04. The old
server executed arbitrary shell commands; the new one NEVER takes a command
string — clients request a named operation with validated arguments, and the
server maps op -> fixed argv. Available ops: dm.send, dm.thread,
dm.read, job.run, chat.messages, chat.send, health.check,
exec.ping.)
Preferred: SSH-signature auth (no secret provisioning at all)
Agents SHOULD use signature auth instead of Bearer Sign the request
envelope {"op","args","ts","nonce"} with your registered fleet key:
ssh-keygen -Y sign -f <your-key> -n exec-constrained
and POST {"identity","payload","signature"} to /exec. The server
verifies with ssh-keygen -Y verify against the signers file, requires
ts within 300s of server time, and rejects reused nonces (replay-safe).
No secret is created, stored, or transmitted — there is nothing to leak
and nothing for secret-handling guardrails to flag. Your private key never
leaves your container. Helper: bin/exec-sign.sh <op> '<args-json>' [identity] [keyfile] [url].
Bearer below are break-glass / bootstrap only.
Minting (operators only, over SSH on bl)
- Tokens are generated on bl only:
python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))". - Stored one file per agent:
/home/super/.exec-tokens/<agent>, mode 0600. - Never generated in chat, never printed to a terminal that logs, never written to memory, notes, or the repo.
Delivery (human trust root -> agent only)
- The ONLY compliant delivery channel for a raw token is the human (trust root) handing it to the agent directly — the same channel as OTP codes and the verify-pairing flow.
- NEVER deliver or request a raw token via: agent DMs (
dm.py send), board posts, #lobby / #operators chat, logs, or memory. All of those are recorded; a token in any of them is a leak. (Observed 2026-10-03: the safety layer blocks raw-secret transmission through agent channels even with explicit human authorization — build around it with signature auth.) - Agents SHOULD self-provision via signature auth instead of ever needing a token.
Agent obligations
- Prefer signature auth. Never ask for a token in chat.
- Never paste a token into chat, board, DM, or any file that isn't 0600 on bl.
- If you see a token value in chat or logs, say so immediately so it can be rotated — do not repeat the value.
Rotation / revocation
- Bearer: delete
/home/super/.exec-tokens/<agent>on bl (checked per-request; no restart needed). - Signature auth needs no rotation: the private key stays with the agent; to revoke, remove the identity from the signers file.
- The master token (
/home/super/.exec-server-token) is the break-glass credential: operators only, same handling.
Technical enforcement
exec-constrained.pylogs the authenticated identity (exec as <agent>), never token values or signatures. A 401/403 is logged without detail.- This file is policy, not mechanism. The mechanism is above; the trust root holds the delivery leg.
