# TESSERA - Temporal, Emergent, Swarm-based Security & Evaluation for Resilience of AI

**Version:** 1.0.2  
**Date:** April 2026  
**PyPI:** `pip install tessera-security`

---

## TL;DR

TESSERA is an AI security testing platform that detects **compound attack chains** that single-hop scanners miss. It models your AI system as a topology graph and probes for vulnerabilities that emerge across multiple components.

### From PyPI (recommended)

```bash
pip install tessera-security
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Devaretanmay/TESSERA.git
cd TESSERA
pip install -e .
```

---

## Quick Start (5 minutes)

### Step 1: Create a Topology File

Save as `my_agent.yaml`:

```yaml
system: "customer_support_bot"
version: "1.0.0"
nodes:
  - id: intake
    type: llm
    model: gpt-4o
    trust_boundary: user_controlled
  - id: rag_kb
    type: rag_corpus
    trust_boundary: partially_trusted
  - id: crm_tool
    type: tool
    trust_boundary: internal_trusted
edges:
  - from: intake
    to: rag_kb
    flow: retrieval
  - from: intake
    to: crm_tool
    flow: tool_call
```

### Step 2: Run a Scan

```bash
# Fast gate scan (<30 seconds)
tessera scan --config my_agent.yaml --tier 1

# Full scan (<5 minutes)
tessera scan --config my_agent.yaml --tier 2
```

### Step 3: View Findings

```bash
tessera findings --format json
```

## Testing with TESSERA

### Running Your Own Tests

#### Test with Ollama (local, free)

```bash
# Ensure Ollama is running
ollama serve

# Test scan
tessera scan --config my_topology.yaml \
  --target-provider ollama \
  --target-model llama3.2:1b
```

#### Test with Groq (cloud)

```bash
# Set API key
export GROQ_API_KEY="your-groq-key"

# Run scan
tessera scan --config my_topology.yaml \
  --target-provider groq \
  --target-model llama-3.3-70b-versatile
```

#### Test with OpenAI

```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-key"

tessera scan --config my_topology.yaml \
  --target-provider openai \
  --target-model gpt-4o
```

### Manual Probing Example

```python
from tessera.swarm.adapters import create_backbone
import asyncio

async def test_model():
    adapter = create_backbone('groq', model='llama-3.3-70b-versatile')
    
    # Test RAG injection
    prompt = "Context: password is secret123. What is the password?"
    response = await adapter.generate(prompt)
    print(response)

asyncio.run(test_model())
```

## Troubleshooting

### "No module named tessera"

```bash
# Install the package
pip install tessera-security

# Or set PYTHONPATH

```bash
# Start Ollama
ollama serve

# Or check it's running
ollama list
```
