Summary

Mole reserves every model call against a ledger before execution, checks extracted claims against verbatim source text, and records unsupported claims rather than silently retaining them. It runs as a static binary, supports OpenAI-compatible endpoints and restricts local-data analysis to aggregate outputs.

Why it matters

Budget enforcement and evidence traceability address two operational weaknesses that make autonomous research difficult to use inside engineering and coding-agent workflows.
