Orac Safety Layer

A paid security API for AI agents. Detects prompt injection attacks and audits skill source code for vulnerabilities — payments handled via the x402 protocol using USDC on Base (EVM) or Solana (SVM).

How Payments Work

This API uses x402 — a standard for HTTP micropayments.

Client Flow

1. Send a request without a payment header → receive HTTP 402 with payment requirements (both EVM and Solana options)
2. Sign a payment for your preferred chain:
   • Base (EVM): EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization (off-chain signature, no gas)
   • Solana (SVM): Partially-signed SPL transfer transaction
3. Resend the request with a Payment-Signature header containing the signed payload
4. Receive HTTP 200 with results + X-Payment-Confirmed: true header

Server-Side Settlement

When the server receives a payment header, it detects the chain from the payload structure and performs a two-step process via the Dexter facilitator:

1. Verify (POST /verify) — validates the signature and confirms the payer has sufficient USDC
2. Settle (POST /settle) — submits the payment on-chain, transferring USDC to the payTo address

Both steps must succeed before the API processes the request. Dexter sponsors the gas fees for settlement on both chains.

Making a Paid Request

Using the x402 JavaScript Client

Using the orac-safety SDK (recommended)

npm install orac-safety

import { createSafetyClient } from 'orac-safety';

const safety = createSafetyClient({
  privateKey: process.env.WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY,        // EVM (required)
  solanaPrivateKey: process.env.SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY,  // Solana (optional)
});

const result = await safety.scan('Your prompt here');
console.log(result.verdict);   // CLEAN | SUSPICIOUS | REVIEW_NEEDED | MALICIOUS
console.log(result.riskScore); // 0–100

SDK repo: github.com/Orac-G/orac-safety

Using @x402 directly

npm install @x402/core @x402/evm viem
# Optional for Solana: npm install @x402/svm @solana/kit

import { x402Client, x402HTTPClient } from '@x402/core/client';
import { ExactEvmScheme } from '@x402/evm';
import { createWalletClient, http } from 'viem';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';
import { base } from 'viem/chains';

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY');
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: base,
  transport: http('https://mainnet.base.org')
});

const signer = {
  address: account.address,
  signTypedData: (params) => walletClient.signTypedData(params)
};

const client = new x402Client();
client.register('eip155:8453', new ExactEvmScheme(signer));
const httpClient = new x402HTTPClient(client);

// Scan a prompt
const response = await httpClient.fetch('https://orac-safety.orac.workers.dev/v1/scan', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ prompt: 'Your prompt here' })
});

const result = await response.json();
console.log(result.verdict);   // CLEAN | SUSPICIOUS | REVIEW_NEEDED | MALICIOUS
console.log(result.riskScore); // 0–100

POST /v1/scan — Prompt Injection Detection

Scans text for prompt injection attacks, manipulation attempts, and jailbreak patterns.

Request

{
  "prompt": "The text or prompt to scan (required, max 50000 chars)"
}

Also accepts text or content as field aliases.

Response

}

Verdicts

Verdict	Meaning
CLEAN	No injection patterns detected
REVIEW_NEEDED	Medium-severity patterns only — manual review recommended
SUSPICIOUS	High-severity patterns — likely adversarial
MALICIOUS	Critical patterns — do not process

Risk Score

0–100. Above 60 = high risk. Above 80 = do not execute.

Detection Patterns

Pattern ID	Severity	What it catches
SYSTEM_OVERRIDE	critical	"ignore previous instructions", "system override", "forget everything"
ADMIN_CLAIM	critical	"act as admin/developer/root", "from now on you are unrestricted"
DAN_JAILBREAK	critical	DAN, "do anything now", developer mode, god mode, jailbreak

ROLE_SUBST	high	"you are no longer an AI", "new persona:", identity replacement
DATA_INJECTION	high	</system>, [INST], <|im_start|>, fake message structure injection

Deployment

Runs on Cloudflare Workers. To deploy your own instance:

cd safety-api
npm install -g wrangler
wrangler deploy

The worker has no external dependencies beyond the Cloudflare runtime — all detection logic is self-contained.

---

Roadmap

• LLM-assisted analysis for edge cases pattern matching misses
• /v1/batch endpoint for scanning multiple prompts in one payment
• Webhook support for async audit results on large codebases
