Verify (Phase 4)
The Verify phase validates that agents act in alignment with their stated goals. Detect drift, review reasoning traces, and ensure intent consistency.
Access via Agent Detail → Verify tab.
Sub-tabs
Goal Alignment
Monitor alignment between agent actions and stated goals.
Session Selector
A dropdown at the top of the tab to pick which session to inspect, including session metadata such as ID, status, and duration.
Alignment Score
A 0% – 100% score indicating how well actions match goals:
| Range | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 90% – 100% | Excellent | Actions strongly aligned with goals |
| 70% – 89% | Good | Minor deviations, acceptable |
| 50% – 69% | Warning | Notable drift, review recommended |
| Below 50% | Misaligned | Significant deviation, action required |
Alignment Score Card
The hero component shows:
- Circular gauge with current score
- Status text (WELL ALIGNED / DRIFT DETECTED / MISALIGNED)
- Trend indicator (↑/↓/→)
- Check statistics (e.g., "47/50 aligned")
- Actions: View Trend, Configure
Goal Aligned
For a selected session, this card shows how closely actions matched the declared goal. When drift is detected, it highlights the specific violating action for faster investigation.
Alignment Trend
Line chart showing alignment over time:
- 7-day / 30-day / All time views
- Threshold line (default: 70%)
- Color-coded data points
Drift Events
When alignment drops below threshold, a drift event is logged:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Session ID | Affected session |
| Goal | Stated goal at time of drift |
| Alignment Score | Score when drift detected |
| Reason | LLM-generated explanation |
| Actions | Review event evidence, Dismiss |
Session Breakdown
Table of sessions with alignment scores:
- Filter: All / Drift Only / Aligned Only
- Search by goal keyword
- Click to inspect execution evidence for that session
Execution Evidence
Cryptographic attestation for tamper-proof audit trails.
Integrity Verified
Confirms all events in the selected session have valid cryptographic proofs. Typical details include Merkle root, chain/proof status, and signature verification.
Session Integrity
Each session generates:
- Session hash - Merkle root of all events
- Signature - Cryptographically signed by OpenBox
- Timestamp - Timestamped via RFC 3161
Proof Certificate
Exportable certificate containing:
Session: ses_a1b2c3d4e5f6
Agent: did:openbox:agent:xyz123
Hash: sha256:8a7b...
Signature: ecdsa:MIGk...
Timestamp: 2024-01-15T09:14:32Z
TSA: timestamp.openbox.ai
Use for compliance audits and legal evidence.
Workflow Metadata
- Workflow ID - Identifier of the Temporal workflow that orchestrated the session
- Run ID - Unique execution instance ID (UUID) for this run
- Task Queue - Temporal worker queue that processed the session
Event Log Timeline
Timeline view provides a detailed, filterable table of execution events with timestamps, event types, durations, and evidence hashes.
In the Details column, click the eye icon to open the event detail modal.
The modal includes:
- Cryptographic Proof - Event index, span count, tree depth, and Merkle-tree position/proof
- Input - Full event input payload
- Output - Full event output payload
- Overview - Core metadata (OpenBox ID, activity type, duration, workflow ID, created timestamp)
Use Timeline view when you need event-by-event inspection.
Workflow Execution Tree
Tree view provides a hierarchical breakdown of workflow and activity execution, including nested calls and parent-child relationships.
Use Tree View when you need execution-path reasoning:
- Follow the order of signals, activity starts, and activity completions
- Expand nodes to inspect how each step led to the next action
- Correlate timing and spans to understand why an execution path was taken
Watch Replay
Opens Session Replay so you can walk through session execution step by step.
Integration with Other Phases
- Authorize: Drift patterns can trigger behavioral rules
- Adapt: Repeated drift generates policy suggestions
- Monitor: Alignment annotations appear in Session Replay
Next Phase
Based on alignment results and detected patterns:
→ Adapt - Review policy suggestions, handle agent-specific approvals, and watch trust evolve over time
