Seal SMB Agent Framework

Seal SMB Agent Framework

Version: 1.0.0 Runtime: GAR v1 Layer: 8 — AI OS / Intelligence Layer Target: Small & medium businesses operating on Gao Internet

Overview#

The Seal SMB Agent Framework is a pre-built, opinionated agent framework built on top of GAR v1, designed specifically for small and medium business (SMB) commerce automation on the Gao Internet protocol.

Note: Seal is one framework layer built on top of GAR v1 — it is not Layer 8 itself. GAR v1 is the general-purpose execution runtime; Seal is an opinionated, pre-certified template collection for a specific use case (SMB commerce). Developers can build entirely separate agent frameworks on GAR v1 without using Seal.

Where GAR v1 provides the general-purpose execution environment, Seal provides:

  • A curated library of pre-certified agent templates for common SMB workflows

  • A no-code configuration layer for non-technical business owners

  • Pre-approved capability scopes that reduce CAP token configuration complexity

  • Compliance-aware defaults that align with Gao Internet’s non-custodial architecture

Design Philosophy#

“An SMB owner should be able to deploy an AI commerce agent in under 10 minutes without writing a single line of code — and trust that it cannot act outside their explicit authorization.”

Seal is built on three principles:

  1. Scope by default — every agent template ships with the minimum required capability scope. Owners expand permissions explicitly; they never shrink from an over-privileged default.

  2. Human-in-the-loop for money — any action involving value transfer above a user-defined threshold automatically escalates to the domain owner before execution. This is not a configuration option; it is an architectural invariant.

  3. Audit-first — every agent action is logged in a human-readable format accessible through Gao Workspace (L1). No black-box execution.

Pre-Certified Scope#

Seal templates ship with pre-certified capability scopes reviewed for:

  • Non-custodial compliance (no direct asset custody)

  • Minimum-privilege design (least-capability principle)

  • Howey Test neutrality (no yield or profit mechanisms)

  • Cross-domain isolation (no unauthorized data access)

Pre-certified scopes reduce the CAP token configuration burden for SMB operators who lack technical teams.

Integration with Gao Stack#

L1 — Workspace

Agent management UI; audit log viewer

L3 — SDK

Tool calls and external integrations

L4 — Payment

Settlement requests (user-authorized)

L5 — Domain

Identity binding; domain-scoped memory

L7 — DePIN

Developer Extension#

Seal templates are open for extension. Developers can:

  1. Fork any Seal template via GAB v2.5

  2. Add custom tools and logic

  3. Submit for pre-certification review (optional)

  4. Deploy under a custom namespace (e.g., myapp:custom-agent)

Custom agents built on Seal templates inherit the framework’s safety invariants but require independent capability grant configuration.

See GAB v2.5 Developer Guide for extension documentation.

Seal SMB Agent Framework is built on GAR v1 and inherits all GAR v1 safety invariants. No agent template in the Seal library can custody user funds, escalate its own capabilities, or operate outside the Gao Domain identity context.
