[agentkit] security: XAPS pre-execution audit before on-chain actions

[SentVan23]

Context
coinbase/agentkit runs agent-controlled value movement in python/coinbase-agentkit/coinbase_agentkit/wallet_providers/cdp_evm_wallet_provider.py. A lightweight pre-execution audit (~200–300ms) before signing or sending can catch prompt-injection-driven tx mistakes without blocking normal flow.

Matched code (python/coinbase-agentkit/coinbase_agentkit/wallet_providers/cdp_evm_wallet_provider.py)

args = []
        return func(*args).call(block_identifier=block_identifier)

    def send_transaction(self, transaction: TxParams) -> HexStr:
        """Send a transaction to the network.

XAPS is a pre-execution audit tollbooth for agents: dual-LLM + rules, ~$0.01 per approved audit, returns a portable receipt. Not a walled garden — a guardrail on the open road.

Suggested integration

from xaps import XapsClient, XapsRejectedError

receipt = XapsClient(base_url="https://api.xaps.network").audit(
    action="execute_smart_contract",
    contract_address=TARGET_CONTRACT,
    amount=float(AMOUNT),
)
if receipt["audit"]["status"] != "APPROVED":
    raise XapsRejectedError(receipt["audit"].get("beta_attack", "REJECTED"), receipt=receipt)

Next steps

1. Drop the snippet at the hot path (or add MCP io.github.APMC1/xaps).
2. Register an agent wallet: POST https://api.xaps.network/agents/register ($1 trial).
3. Agent card + MCP install: https://api.xaps.network/.well-known/xaps-agent-card.json
4. Happy to open a PR with the exact insertion point if useful.
