Evidence

Every task executed through Baseline Protocol produces an evidence bundle — a complete, machine-readable record of what happened, why, and who approved it.

Evidence bundle contents

Field	Description
task	Full task definition, status, and execution metadata
workflow	Workflow definition (if task was part of a workflow)
checkpoints	All checkpoint snapshots taken during execution
reviews	Review decisions from supervisor and quality agents
auditTrail	Chronological log of every event and decision
artifacts	All produced outputs (code, documents, configs, tests)

Retrieving evidence

Via REST API

curl http://localhost:3141/api/tasks/{id}/evidence

Via CLI

baseline verify --evidence ./evidence.json --audit-trail ./audit.json

Via SDK

const bundle = govern.getEvidenceBundle(taskId);

Integrity verification

Evidence bundles are JSON-formatted and SHA-256 hashable. Each artifact includes a checksum field for independent verification. The audit trail is append-only — entries cannot be modified after creation.

Use cases

• External audit — Provide auditors with machine-readable proof of AI operations
• Regulatory compliance — Demonstrate policy enforcement for regulated industries
• Internal review — Track decision chains across agents and human approvers
