My name is Kunjar Bhaduri — 25-year FSI technology executive, former JPMorgan partner, currently building open-source governance tooling for autonomous AI agents in regulated financial services. I'm writing to propose
finserv-agent-audit as a contribution to the FINOS community.
The project is a reference implementation of four governance patterns that every autonomous agent operating under MiFID II, EU AI Act, or SEC Rule 17a-4 constraints needs: a DEFCON risk-state machine with
deterministic 4-level escalation and hysteresis, a Sovereign Veto kill switch that no agent or orchestrator can override, a tamper-evident hash-chained Audit Chain, and explicit statutory mapping to EU AI Act Articles 9/12/14/15 and MiFID II Article 17. It
has zero runtime dependencies, MIT license, Python 3.12+, 94% test coverage, and runs in under 60 seconds. The repo is live today at
github.com/linus10x/finserv-agent-audit.
I believe this aligns directly with FINOS's mandate around responsible and compliant financial technology. The patterns here are framework-agnostic — the same DEFCON state machine and audit chain logic applies whether a firm
is running LangChain, AutoGen, or a bespoke multi-agent stack. I'd welcome the opportunity to present this to the AI Readiness or Compliant Financial Infrastructure working groups, contribute it to the FINOS landscape, or explore a formal project proposal.
Happy to jump on a call at your convenience.
Thank you very much for your attention and consideration.
