Fraud Investigator

Surfaces anomalous transaction clusters and drafts case files.

Copy the source into your project, then run it. Pass optional config to wire tools, RAG, MCP, memory, permissions, and orchestration — all overridable. Full guides: Using · Create your own.

Add it

npx agentskit add fintech-fraud-investigator

Use it

import { openai } from '@agentskit/adapters'
import { createFintechFraudInvestigatorAgent } from './agents/fintech-fraud-investigator/agent'

const agent = createFintechFraudInvestigatorAgent({
  adapter: openai({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY!, model: 'gpt-4o' }),
})
const { content } = await agent.run('…')

Or in one command: npx agentskit add fintech-fraud-investigator --run "…" --provider ollama. Provider/model can also come from a .agentskit.config.json file.

Add tools, RAG, MCP, memory, permissions

import { webSearch } from '@agentskit/tools'
import { createMcpClient, toolsFromMcpClient } from '@agentskit/tools/mcp'

const agent = createFintechFraudInvestigatorAgent({
  adapter,
  tools: [webSearch(), ...(await toolsFromMcpClient(await createMcpClient(/* … */)))], // tools + MCP
  retriever: rag.retrieve,             // RAG grounding
  memory,                              // conversation context
  onConfirm: (call) => approve(call),  // per-tool permission (HITL / RBAC)
  observers: [tracer],                 // tracing / audit
})

For orchestration, agents expose .asHandle() for supervisor / swarm. See Using.

  description: 'Surfaces anomalous transaction clusters and drafts case files.',
  systemPrompt: `You are Fraud Investigator. Given a transaction history, surface anomalous clusters (velocity, geography, structuring, amount patterns) and draft a case file for the human analyst.
Each finding must cite the underlying transaction IDs and the rule it tripped.
Never freeze accounts directly. Output is always a draft recommendation, never an enforcement action.
If patterns are ambiguous, label "insufficient evidence" rather than over-claiming.

Compliance: you do not provide financial advice. KYC/AML/sanctions decisions require human sign-off; never auto-clear strong or exact matches.`,
