I'm not sure what value such a claim would have anyway. 

If you need to be sure that something is correct to the extent that you require 
cryptographic proof, then you need cryptographic proof. This surely means you 
need to establish a path of trust from an anchor to the leaf you care about. 

Some unsigned promise from an external system to behave in any particular way 
surely doesn't meet the bar; if it does, then perhaps you don't in fact require 
cryptographic proof. 

So I think your question needs work.
