Action Summary

Evidence Gate is a GitHub Action designed to ensure reliable and safe decision-making for AI systems by assessing structural evidence and precedents before an agent proceeds with actions. It automates tasks such as ingesting repository content and external data (e.g., incident records), building a structural knowledge base, analyzing change impact, and providing actionable decisions (admit, abstain, or escalate). Its key capabilities include evidence-based decision-making, blast radius computation, and lifecycle management of knowledge bases, making it a valuable tool for improving the reliability and safety of AI-driven workflows in engineering and CI environments.
