Molten

Molten is my private agent runtime with stop controls, execution permissions, and spending limits. I describe its design here; no public repository or test output is available.

Run controls

I designed Molten to check execution permissions and stop runs when limits or required checks fail. These are design details for a private build, without public verification.

  • The kill switch can stop a run when configured cost or error triggers are reached.
  • Circuit breakers stop repeated failures according to configured thresholds.
  • Four-tier execution sandbox: READONLY up to ADMIN. Agents run at the lowest tier that does the job.
  • A secret scanner applies redaction before logging or storage. No public test output is available to establish its coverage.
  • Dead-man's switch: if the operator stops checking in, the runtime halts.

Budget ceilings

I use these default execution budgets in this private build. They are runtime settings, not service prices; current settings and enforcement are not publicly verifiable.

  • $20/day default ceiling per runtime.
  • $5/task default ceiling per agent invocation.
Why privateMolten is my private build. There is no public repository, demo, or test output, and I have not promised a release date.
