HELmR
Deterministic runtime control layer for autonomous agents
HELmR sits between agents and the systems they interact with. Agents do not execute actions directly — every action must pass through HELmR.
HELmR enforces execution rules automatically using:
mission budgets
capability tokens
a controlled execution airlock

The control board displays:
Mission budgets
Agent status
Recent execution events

HELmR CONTROL BOARD
MISSION BOARD AGENT STATUS RECENT EVENTS What HELmR Does
HELmR enforces deterministic runtime governance.
Features:
Mission creation with action budgets
Authorization gate for agent actions
Single-use capability tokens
Execution through a controlled airlock
Automatic mission spend tracking
Agent termination with tomb-state blocking
Live runtime control board
Agents cannot execute actions outside HELmR.
Architecture Agent ↓ HELmR Authorization ↓ Capability Token ↓ Airlock Execution ↓ Filesystem / External Systems
All execution authority flows through HELmR.
Run Locally Requirements
Rust
Cargo
Start HELmR cargo run Open the control board http://127.0.0.1:7070/console/board Demo
- Create a mission POST /mission/create
- Authorize an action POST /authorize
- Execute through the airlock POST /airlock/write_file
- Terminate an agent POST /control/terminate

HELmR v2 implements the core deterministic governance loop:
mission budgeting
authorization control
capability tokens
airlock execution
termination enforcement
runtime observability
