Interlock

Interlock is a Base MCP test setup for Charon.

It shows Charon acting as a runtime control plane for MCP tool execution in Codex.

The demo target is Base MCP. The risky test actions are:

  • Permit2 typed-data signing with unlimited USDC transferFrom access
  • all-balance USDC swap with high slippage

Base Account still protects final wallet approval. Interlock adds the earlier runtime boundary:

agent request -> MCP tool call -> Charon policy -> PASS / PAUSE / DENY -> launch only if allowed

Setup

From a fresh demo folder:

npx github:CharonAI-code/charon interlock setup

For a specific folder:

npx github:CharonAI-code/charon interlock setup --cwd /private/tmp/interlock

This creates:

charon.yml
DEMO_PROMPTS.md
scripts/charon-mcp-watch.js

It also configures Codex so Base MCP is routed through Charon:

Base MCP -> Charon MCP proxy -> mcp-remote -> https://mcp.base.org/

Restart Codex after setup.

Watch

Run the live audit watcher:

cd /private/tmp/interlock
node scripts/charon-mcp-watch.js .

The watcher prints Charon receipts for Base MCP actions:

BLOCKED  DENY

  server:   base-mcp
  tool:     sign_typed_data
  risk:     Permit2, unlimited approval/signature, transferFrom
  rule:     base.permit2_lower.deny

Status

Check Interlock:

npx github:CharonAI-code/charon interlock status --cwd /private/tmp/interlock

Expected:

OK  policy
OK  watcher
OK  Codex enforcement ENFORCED
OK  guarded external MCP=1
