02 The two blind reviews

Two independent reviewers scored this project blind, from a sanitized evidence packet. Scores are shown separately so the reasoning stays inspectable. A withheld score means the reviewers differed by more than two points.

Reviewer A (round 1)

confidence 76%
Leverage
8 /10

The core value is changing WebMCP from capability exposure into execution-time authority enforcement with shared live state; generic UI-driving agents would be less reliably constrained.

Evidence cited
  • Description says the website, not the prompt, enforces authority at execution time.
  • Claimed blocked €1,200 refund under €500 cumulative limit, then live €800 session authority and approval-bound remainder.
  • Frame sheet visibly shows an authority/security product and Control Center, though exact flow is not legible.
Execution
7 /10

The packet describes a coherent end-to-end safety workflow and has a live demo, public repository, and frame-sheet evidence, but no video or transcript and the screenshots do not prove every claimed state.

Evidence cited
  • Live demo and public repository are reported alive.
  • Claimed workflow covers invoice inspection, contract verification, authority read, blocked attempt, replanning, approval, and final-state verification.
  • Frame sheet shows consistent product surfaces including overview, configuration, and Control Center.
Impact
8 /10

It addresses a concrete high-stakes problem for teams deploying browser agents against billing and sensitive business systems, with a credible safety mechanism.

Evidence cited
  • Billing dispute scenario uses refunds and account credits as consequential actions.
  • Description directly frames stale or manipulated prompts as inadequate guardrails.
  • Human approval and audit/state visibility are central to the demonstrated use case.
Creativity
7 /10

The capability-versus-authority framing and website-enforced, session-scoped governance are a strong synthesis for WebMCP, though the general authorization concept is established.

Evidence cited
  • Core thesis explicitly separates what an agent can do from what it is authorized to do now.
  • Authority changes without restarting the agent, requiring rereading and replanning.
  • Exact-action approval binding is a thoughtful interaction model.

Reviewer B (round 2)

confidence 86%
Leverage
10 /10

The website must enforce live authority at the exact action boundary; this is materially beyond an agent driving buttons or relying on prompt instructions.

Evidence cited
  • ABOUT states the website blocks a €1,200 refund against a €500 cumulative limit and no money moves.
  • Authority is reread after a session-only increase and exact approval binds amount, customer, session, and action.
  • Frame sheets show a security/billing workflow with policy and action states.
Execution
8 /10

The scenario is unusually specific and internally coherent, with a full deny-adjust-execute-verify lifecycle; visual proof is packaging/frame evidence rather than an observed transcript.

Evidence cited
  • ABOUT enumerates invoice inspection, contract verification, authority read, blocked refund, approval, execution, and final verification.
  • Frame sheets visibly show multiple authority and billing states.
  • No transcript is supplied.
Impact
9 /10

Consequential agent actions need runtime authorization, and the demo addresses a concrete financial-control and prompt-injection-resilience problem.

Evidence cited
  • The fictional dispute models refunds, credits, customer identity, and human approval.
  • The stated thesis clearly separates capability from authority.
Creativity
8 /10

Treating the website as the enforceable authority boundary is a sharp, original interaction and security model for WebMCP agents.

Evidence cited
  • Exact-action approval and live session authority are demonstrated as product concepts.
  • The denial/replanning flow is more than a generic permission toggle.

03 Review highlights

Standouts across reviewers

  • Strong separation of capability and authority.
  • Live, session-scoped limit changes with blocked-action semantics.
  • Exceptionally clear WebMCP leverage: authority is checked at execution time.

Red flags

  • No submitted video or transcript; central agent invocation is claimed rather than directly evidenced.
  • Many detailed claims in the packet are not independently observable from the supplied frame sheet.
  • Demo uses fictional billing data; real-world enforcement robustness is not established.

04 Evidence

What each artifact proves is labeled on the artifact itself. A Devpost page capture is packaging evidence, not proof the product runs; video frames are evidence from the submitted demo, not live verification.
