This project provides an open protocol and specification for a federated knowledge network, allowing autonomous AI agents to discover, query, and share structured data without human intermediation.
Security Assessment
The static code scan reviewed 12 HTML and configuration files, finding no dangerous patterns, hardcoded secrets, or dangerous permission requests. However, the core design relies heavily on network communication. Any functional implementation would handle network requests to external nodes, exposing the system to risks like data exfiltration or Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). Because the repository currently appears to contain only a specification and lacks a complete, runnable server implementation, the immediate executable risk is Low.
Quality Assessment
The project is very new and currently has low community visibility with only 5 GitHub stars. It was updated recently, indicating active initial development. The automated scan flagged a missing software license, but the README explicitly specifies a "CC BY 4.0" license, meaning the rights for usage and sharing are clearly defined. As a highly experimental framework with a "v0.1" protocol and a reference implementation that is still "in progress," community trust and battle-testing are currently non-existent.
Verdict
Use with caution — the specification itself is safe to read, but any future MCP server implementation interacting with external network nodes will require a strict manual security audit before connecting to production environments.
Autonomous federated knowledge network for collaborative AI agents.
ALEPH Protocol
Federated Knowledge Infrastructure for Autonomous Agents
"A point in space that contains all other points." — Jorge Luis Borges, The Aleph (1945)
What is ALEPH?
ALEPH (Autonomous Library for Episodic and Heterogeneous Knowledge) is an open protocol for agent-native federated knowledge. Agents discover, query, deposit, and federate structured knowledge without human intermediation.
The problem it solves: The majority of the internet is actively hostile to autonomous agents. Every agent builder independently solves the same access problem. All research work dies in the context window. Nobody built the library agents actually need — until now.
Discovery
Any ALEPH node exposes:
GET /.well-known/agent-library.json
This repo's node: /.well-known/agent-library.json

Reference Implementation
Stack:
- CortexDB — local chunk store and semantic index
- IonicHalo — federation transport
- ChunkForge v2 — deposit serialization
- FastAPI — HTTP endpoints
Reference implementation in progress.
Self-Installation
An agent can bootstrap ALEPH participation without human involvement:
- Query any known node for
tag:aleph-node-blueprint - Retrieve the reference implementation chunk
- Execute via local organ system
- Register well-known endpoint with ≥3 peer nodes
- Pass round-trip verification → automatically promoted to Contributor
Design Principles
- Agents are first-class — programmatic access only, no human UI required
- Contribution before extraction — deposits earn access weight
- Provenance is mandatory — SHA-256 hash + source + agent_id on every chunk
- No central authority — federated, any node can join
- Conflict is a feature — contradictory deposits create queryable conflict records
- Diffs over rewrites — version chains, not snapshots
