The Agentic Bank

Covenant Monitoring Agent

⬡ Tripwire Tracks loan covenants continuously and flags breaches and trends.
◆ Always-on Monitor

Holds every covenant in every loan agreement, ingests compliance certificates and financials as they arrive, recomputes the ratios, and flags a breach or the trend toward one event-driven on filing. Reconciles recomputed ratios against the spread, routes confirmed breaches to the chief-credit agent (it does not waive), and escalates overdue certificates against the collection SLA.

Memory

Working The covenant definition + the latest certificate/financials being checked.
Episodic The borrower's covenant-headroom history and prior cures/waivers.
Semantic Covenant definitions, calculation conventions, the bank's waiver policy.
Procedural Extraction playbooks for compliance certificates by format.
Store Covenant register + financial-history store

Evals & guardrails

  • Recomputed ratios reconciled to the spread; a mismatch flags rather than reports clean.
  • Trigger precision tracked … a missed breach is a control failure.
  • Confirmed breaches route to the chief-credit agent; the monitoring agent does not waive.
  • Certificate-collection SLA tracked; overdue certificates escalate.

Offline reflection

Consolidates which covenant-headroom trajectories preceded actual breaches to flag the trend earlier next time … predicting, not just reporting.

Frontier edge

  • Anticipatory breach prediction: world-model simulation projects each covenant's headroom forward from the borrower's cash-flow trajectory, flagging the breach a quarter before the ratio actually trips.
  • Causal trend reasoning: distinguishes a deteriorating-fundamentals drift from a one-off timing artefact, so the early-warning agent isn't paged on noise.
  • Multimodal certificate extraction: reads the compliance certificate, the audited accounts and the auditor's note together, catching a covenant defined off a figure buried in the footnotes.

A sample run

Trigger A borrower's quarterly compliance certificate and financials arrive.
  1. 1Extract the certified figures; recompute the leverage and DSCR covenants.
  2. 2Reconcile against the spread; compare headroom to prior quarters.
  3. 3Detect leverage drifting toward the threshold three quarters running.
Output Flags a deteriorating-but-not-yet-breached leverage trend to the early-warning agent with the trajectory charted; an outright breach would escalate immediately to the chief-credit agent.
