shadow-mentor 是做什么的？

5-voice AI compliance council for regulated lending. Drop into Claude Desktop / Cursor / Zed / OpenCode / OpenClaw via MCP. Mid-tier US bank pitch: $1,800 / compliance-officer seat / year. Open source MIT.

What it does

Six MCP tools that turn an LLM chat into a procurement-defensible loan-origination compliance surface:

• shadow_loan_council — Deterministic 5-voice verdict (block / escalate / approve) + per-voice rationale + risk packet + thresholds applied. FICO < 700 is a hardcoded if with a pinned test.
• shadow_risk_tools — Institutional risk primitives: VaR (historical / parametric / MC), Expected Shortfall, concentration (HHI / Gini), sector exposure, correlation (Pearson / Spearman / EWMA), factor exposures, beta decomposition
• shadow_recall — Cross-session memory recall keyed by persona + scenario
• shadow_calibration — Per-persona Brier calibration stats (for SR 26-2 model risk monitoring)
• shadow_scenarios — Surface enumeration (5 personas × 4 scenarios × 4 device clients × 2 providers)
• shadow_traceability — Source attribution for any threshold (BRD vs Addendum vs Risk Appetite Note) per CFPB / ECOA / SR 26-2

All tools run in-process. No network call from inside the tool body. AA01–AA05 adverse-action codes match CFPB Bulletin 2024-09.

Why a bank's procurement team can grep it in 10 minutes

Three source files + four test files:

1. lib/audit-guardrail.js — 12-pattern regex output gate (Schema-Layer Safety)
2. lib/run-loan-council.js — if (loan.fico < CREDIT_THRESHOLDS.FICO_FLOOR) return { verdict: "block", ... } (Determinism Floor)
3. installer/tools.json — frozen install-target × scope catalog (EMA-ready)

Test surface:

• test/mcptox-canary.test.js — 28 contract tests covering MCPTox §3 attack categories + MosaicLeaks coverage
• test/oauth-scaffold.test.js + test/oauth-loan-council-wiring.test.js — Enterprise Managed Auth scope catalog + live wiring
• test/glm-call.test.js — Multi-provider contract (Anthropic + GLM-5.2)
• test/tools-catalog.test.js — Catalog drift gate

308/308 tests passing. Shadow Agentic Score 87 ± 3 (n=6).

Defends against named 2026 MCP threats

• OX Security MCP STDIO supply-chain advisory (May 2026) — Shadow's tool bodies call only frozen lib/ modules; no untrusted shell input reaches a tool body
• MCPTox benchmark (arXiv 2508.14925) — Shadow returns strict-JSON enum verdicts, not narrative; poisoned descriptions cannot widen the response surface beyond schema
• MosaicLeaks multi-turn information leakage — canary-token contract tests pin the invariant that an attacker cannot exfiltrate a canary across the tool boundary
• MCP Enterprise OAuth (EMA) — opt-in SHADOW_REQUIRE_BEARER=1 enforces shadow:council scope on /api/loan-council; works with OAuth2 / Azure AD claim shapes
