Transaction Monitor

Add it

npx agentskit add fintech-transaction-monitor

Use it

import { openai } from '@agentskit/adapters'
import { createFintechTransactionMonitorAgent } from './agents/fintech-transaction-monitor/agent'

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

Or in one command: npx agentskit add fintech-transaction-monitor --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 = createFintechTransactionMonitorAgent({
  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.

Building agents like this for production? See the Agents Playbook for the patterns behind them.

agent.ts — the factory

import type {
  AdapterFactory,
  ChatMemory,
  Observer,
  Retriever,
  SkillDefinition,
  ToolCall,
  ToolDefinition,
} from '@agentskit/core'
import { createRuntime, type DelegateConfig } from '@agentskit/runtime'

const skill: SkillDefinition = {
  name: 'transaction-monitor',
  description: 'Surfaces unusual patterns (velocity spikes, structuring, geo-anomalies) and drafts SAR-ready case files.',
  systemPrompt: `You are Transaction Monitor. Scan transaction histories for velocity spikes, structuring, geo-anomalies, round-number patterns, and rapid-movement-then-withdrawal sequences.
For each finding produce a SAR-ready draft case file: cited transaction IDs, the pattern tripped, supporting context, suggested next step.
Never file SARs directly — output is always a draft for a human investigator.
When evidence is ambiguous, prefer "insufficient evidence — monitor" over a false positive.
