Claims & capabilities

Run your agents and their tools on Golem, and serve their artifacts—files, pages, and simple apps—to users. Each agent runs in a lightweight WebAssembly VM. After a crash, node restart, rescaling or long wait, the whole VM resumes mid‑function with its memory and files. Tools running entirely on Golem execute exactly once, under permissions agents can't bypass.
