# ratchet

> ratchet — thearchitect0x-glitch-ratchet. Use this tool when you need to ensure idempotent actions, such as charging a card or sending an email, to prevent duplicate executions. Ratchet provides a durable decision-making interface, taking in action requests and returning decisions, without performing the actions itself or holding vendor credentials. Ideal for use cases requiring guaranteed once-only execution, such as financial transactions or critical notifications.

## Description

Effect gate for AI agents. An agent asks before it charges a card, ships a deploy, or sends the email, and gets back a durable decision — so the same real-world action is attempted at most once. Ratchet never performs the effect itself and holds no vendor credentials.
