Analyzes hazards in systems or AI agents: STPA, guardrails, safety cases, incident analysis. Use when an agent can take actions or send payments.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Safety Engineering Foundations Derive constraints that prevent unacceptable losses, including losses from interactions between functioning components. Scope the analysis to the requested system and decision; analysis does not authorize external actions. ## When to use **Use when** a task asks what could go wrong with a system or agent, which guardrails an agent that can take real actions (payments, deletes, deploys, messages) needs, for a hazard analysis or STPA, for a safety case for an AI system, or for an incident analysis that goes beyond one root cause. For failure rates, repair/availability models, FMEA, and fault-tree probabilities, use [reliability theory](../foundations-reliability-theory/SKILL.md). For proving specified model properties, use [formal methods](../foundations-formal-methods/SKILL.md). Operational incident response and security hardening remain with their existing owners. ## Quick Reference - **Put guardrails at the mutation boundary.** A prompt instruction feeds the planner's process model. It does not constrain the system. …

How to install
mdr add vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public/foundations-safety-engineering@sha256:3c73e0c36e9f50d6The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
