Autonomous Swarm Fleet Quarantine &
Emergency Kill-Switch Subsystem
A production-verified, standalone execution-layer containment engine for enterprise AI agent swarms. Designed to sever rogue agent tool calling across distributed worker processes in under 50 milliseconds using SQLite Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and Ed25519 identity revocation.
1. Strategic Asset Description
When an AI agent fleet experiences semantic prompt injection, long-horizon exfiltration (salami spend), or memory contagion, conversational firewalls fail because they only inspect text. The SwarmFleetQuarantine subsystem sits directly in the execution call path, providing three escalation levels:
- Single Agent Isolation (
AGENT_ISOLATION): Instantly blocks tool execution for an individual anomalous agent while allowing surrounding peers to operate normally. - Swarm Contagion Fleet Isolation (
SWARM_FLEET_ISOLATION): When multiple agents exhibit correlated drift or malicious intent mutation, the contagion detector automatically isolates the entire collaborative swarm. - Cluster-Wide Emergency Halt (
CLUSTER_EMERGENCY_HALT): Global SOC kill-switch that instantly severs external LLM tool calls and database mutations across all worker processes.
2. Standalone Code Contract & Architecture
from cain.quarantine import get_quarantine_manager, QuarantineLevel
# Initialize singleton with high-performance SQLite WAL backend
qm = get_quarantine_manager()
# 1. Trigger instantaneous swarm quarantine upon anomaly detection:
record = qm.quarantine_swarm(
swarm_id="swarm-financial-settlement-04",
reason="Exfiltration anomaly: cumulative spend budget breached",
operator_id="soc-sentinel-01"
)
# 2. Sub-50ms fail-closed boundary enforcement:
allowed, reason = qm.check_execution_allowed("agent-trading-bot-07")
# Returns: (False, "Swarm fleet 'swarm-financial-settlement-04' is actively quarantined")
# 3. Every action generates an Ed25519-signed receipt and invalidates SPIFFE SVIDs
3. Licensing & acquisition
