Gate

The Gate is SOVR's primary decision engine. Every AI action passes through the gate before execution.

How It Works

const result = await sovr.gate.check({
  action: 'transfer_funds',
  context: {
    amount: 50000,
    currency: 'USD',
    recipient: 'vendor_account_123'
  }
});

// result.decision: 'allow' | 'deny' | 'require_approval'

Policies

Define rules that determine gate behavior:

rules:
  - name: small_transfers
    action: transfer_funds
    conditions:
      amount_lte: 1000
    decision: allow
    
  - name: medium_transfers
    action: transfer_funds
    conditions:
      amount_gt: 1000
      amount_lte: 10000
    decision: require_approval
    approvers:
      - role: finance_manager
      
  - name: large_transfers
    action: transfer_funds
    conditions:
      amount_gt: 10000
    decision: require_approval
    approvers:
      - role: cfo
      - role: ceo
    require_all: true

Risk Scoring

The gate calculates risk scores based on:

• Action risk: Base risk for action type
• Context risk: Specific parameters (amounts, recipients)
• Pattern risk: Deviation from historical patterns
• Temporal risk: Time-based factors

Adversarial Defense

SOVR detects potential manipulation:

Attack Type	Detection
Prompt injection	Pattern matching
Gradual escalation	Behavioral analysis
Context poisoning	Input validation
Split attacks	Session tracking
