**Paper:** [Tracking Capabilities for Safer Agents (arXiv:2603.00991)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.00991)

TACIT (Tracked Agent Capabilities In Types) is an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that provides a **safety harness** for AI agents.
TACIT (Tracked Agent Capabilities In Types) is a **safety harness** for AI agents.
Instead of calling tools directly, agents write code in Scala 3 with [capture checking](https://nightly.scala-lang.org/docs/reference/experimental/capture-checking/index.html): a type system that statically tracks capabilities and enforces that agent code cannot forge access rights, cannot perform effects beyond its budget, and cannot leak information from pure sub-computations.
It provides an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) interface, so that it can be easily used by all MCP-compatible agents.
