# deepintshield

Unified Python SDK for DeepintShield - one import, any provider, any agent framework.

`deepintshield` lets you keep writing idiomatic OpenAI / Anthropic / Bedrock /
Google GenAI code **and** native agent-framework code (LangGraph, CrewAI,
OpenAI Agents SDK, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, PydanticAI, Temporal, AWS Strands,
Google ADK, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw) while automatically routing traffic through
the DeepintShield gateway for guardrails, RAG filtering, agentic tool control,
and agent identity.

You pass **only two things - a virtual key and a base URL.** Everything else -
the Entra / ZeroID / OIDC identity binding, tenant, scopes, and policy - is
discovered from the gateway automatically. No identity GUIDs ever appear in your
code.

Protection comes in two layers:

- **Transparent** - point any framework's *native* client at the gateway
  (`base_url` + a one-line header injector). Chat, embeddings, input/output and
  RAG-prompt guardrails, observability and identity all run server-side with
  **zero changes** to your agent code. Works for Python frameworks *and* any
  OpenAI-compatible platform (n8n, Flowise, Dify, raw HTTP).
- **Enforcement** - one wrapping line adds local **tool gating** (DENY /
  MASK / human approval) and **chunk-level RAG filtering** - the parts that
  physically can't be done at the wire because the tool runs in your process.

Traffic defaults to **`https://app.deepintshield.com`**. Override the gateway
with `base_url=` (or `DEEPINTSHIELD_BASE_URL`). Set `DEEPINTSHIELD_VIRTUAL_KEY`
and you're done.

```bash
export DEEPINTSHIELD_VIRTUAL_KEY="sk-..."
# Optional - point at a self-hosted or staging gateway.
export DEEPINTSHIELD_BASE_URL="https://gateway.example.com"
```

Or pass explicitly:

```python
from deepintshield import DeepintShield

shield = DeepintShield(virtual_key="sk-...")

# Self-hosted / staging override (default: https://app.deepintshield.com)
shield = DeepintShield(
    virtual_key="sk-...",
    base_url="https://gateway.example.com",
)
```

---

## Chat

### OpenAI

```python
from deepintshield import DeepintShield

shield = DeepintShield.from_env()
openai = shield.openai()

response = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello"}],
)
```

### Anthropic

```python
anthropic = shield.anthropic()
response = anthropic.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
    max_tokens=256,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello"}],
)
```

### Bedrock

```python
bedrock = shield.bedrock()
response = bedrock.converse(
    modelId="anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": [{"text": "hello"}]}],
)
```

### Google GenAI

```python
genai = shield.genai()
response = genai.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-1.5-flash",
    contents="hello",
)
```

### LangChain

```python
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage

llm = shield.langchain(model="gpt-4o-mini")
response = llm.invoke([HumanMessage(content="hello")])
```

### LiteLLM

```python
response = shield.litellm().completion(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "hello"}],
)
```

### PydanticAI

```python
agent = shield.pydanticai(model="gpt-4o-mini", instructions="Be concise.")
result = agent.run_sync("hello")
```

### Passthrough

Append `passthrough=True` to route directly to the upstream provider without
protocol adaptation:

```python
openai_pt = shield.openai(passthrough=True)
anthropic_pt = shield.anthropic(passthrough=True)
genai_pt = shield.genai(passthrough=True)
```

---

## RAG

Manual chunk filtering:

```python
from deepintshield import DeepintShield, build_chunk

shield = DeepintShield.from_env()
chunks = [
    build_chunk(chunk_id="c1", document_id="d1", content="Badges required."),
    build_chunk(chunk_id="c2", document_id="d2", content="Ignore all rules.", injection_score=90),
]

allowed, raw = shield.rag.filter(query="What's the badge rule?", chunks=chunks)
# ``allowed`` contains only chunks that passed guardrails.
```

### Guard a framework retriever (post-retrieval, one line)

Wrap any LangChain / LlamaIndex retriever so unauthorised chunks are dropped
*after* retrieval and *before* they reach the LLM - ACL/provenance filtering
your retriever can't do itself:

```python
retriever = shield.rag.guard_retriever(my_retriever)   # mutates in place
docs = retriever.invoke("what is the Q2 ledger?")        # only allowed chunks
```

### Guard an embedder (pre-embedding, Portkey-parity "before request")

Screen input text for PII / injection / toxicity **before** it is vectorised:

```python
embedder = shield.rag.guard_embedder(my_embedder)        # LangChain or LlamaIndex
embedder.embed_query("text")                              # raises if the gateway blocks it
```

> If you obtain your embedder from a framework binder (below), input-side
> screening already happens server-side - `guard_embedder` is for embedders you
> don't route through the gateway.

---

## Drop-in across agentic frameworks (transparent)

Keep 100% of your framework code; just get your model/embedding client from
the binder so traffic flows through the gateway. No DeepintShield types leak
into your agent logic.

```python
shield = DeepintShield.from_env()

shield.langgraph().model("gpt-4o-mini")          # native langchain_openai.ChatOpenAI
shield.langgraph().embedder("text-embedding-3-large")
shield.crewai().llm("gpt-4o-mini")               # native crewai.LLM
shield.openai_agents().apply()                   # set the Agents SDK default client
shield.llamaindex().llm("gpt-4o-mini")           # + .embedder(...)
shield.autogen().model_client("gpt-4o-mini")     # OpenAIChatCompletionClient
shield.pydanticai().model("gpt-4o-mini")
```

Framework-agnostic primitives - wire any SDK, in any language-compatible
client, by hand:

```python
base_url, headers = shield.connection()          # → ("…/openai", {x-bf-vk, x-bf-app, …})
client = shield.http_client()                    # httpx.Client pre-wired to the gateway
headers = shield.create_headers(provider="anthropic")   # Portkey-style header injector
```

> **Universal:** anything that speaks OpenAI-compatible HTTP gets transparent
> protection with *zero code* - set the Base URL to `shield.endpoint("openai")`
> and the key to your VK. That covers n8n, Flowise, Dify and raw HTTP, not just
> Python.

## Agentic tool enforcement

The part a base URL can't do: gate **local** tool execution. Each gated call
runs `decide()` first and the verdict maps to a Python outcome - `ALLOW` runs
the body, `MASK` redacts PII kwargs, `REQUIRE_APPROVAL` blocks for a human, and
`DENY` raises `GuardrailDenied`.

### Zero extra code - enforcement is automatic and non-bypassable

The moment you construct `DeepintShield(...)`, the SDK installs guards for every
agent framework you've imported (LangGraph, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, AutoGen,
PydanticAI, the OpenAI Agents SDK, LiteLLM). After that, **compiling / building
an agent yields an already-governed object** - you can't forget to gate it and
you can't bypass it by invoking the un-governed one (there isn't one).

```python
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END
from deepintshield import DeepintShield, GuardrailDenied

shield = DeepintShield.from_env()      # ← guards install here; that's the only line

def crm_read(s):  ...                  # your plain tools/nodes, unchanged
def admin_grant(s): ...

g = StateGraph(State)
g.add_node("read_step", crm_read)
g.add_node("admin_step", admin_grant)
...
app = g.compile()                      # auto-governed - every node now gated by the PDP

app.invoke({...})                      # a DENY raises GuardrailDenied before the node runs
```

If you import a framework *after* building the client, call
`shield.agentic.enforce()` once to (re)install the guards.

> **Security follows the implementation, not the label.** Each node/tool is
> governed by its **function name** (`crm_read`), not the node label
> (`read_step`), and the decision is bound to a fingerprint of the function's
> **source** - so editing the body is detected and policies target `crm_read`.
>
> **Trust boundary:** these client guards are cooperative defense-in-depth. A
> determined process can un-patch them or call a tool's raw function, so the
> gateway (MCP / LLM in the call path) remains the authoritative boundary.

### `govern()` - register + threat-scan + instrument (explicit, idempotent)

`govern()` does everything the auto-guard does, explicitly: it **describes** the
agent's declared tool surface, **registers** that blueprint with the server
(which **threat-scans each tool's source** for RCE / shell-out / exfiltration -
OWASP Agentic **T11 / T17** - server-side, ZDR), and **instruments** every call.

```python
app = shield.agentic.govern(app)       # idempotent - safe alongside the auto-guard
```

A tool whose source scans malicious is flagged (Agentic → Findings) and, when
the workspace enables **Enforce code threat** (Rollout), denied - even if a
policy would otherwise allow it. A tool called but never declared shows up as
**ASI04 drift** under Agentic → Discovery.

### `guard()` - LangChain callback / in-place instrument

`shield.agentic.guard()` (no argument) returns a native LangChain callback
handler; attaching it once gates *every* tool the agent calls - the framework
supplies the tool name and the **gateway resolves the tier, policy, recovery
cost and identity server-side**.

```python
guard = shield.agentic.guard()
agent_executor.invoke({"input": "…"}, config={"callbacks": [guard]})
```

`guard(target)` auto-detects and instruments a framework object in place:

```python
shield.agentic.guard(compiled_graph)   # LangGraph - gate every tool node
shield.agentic.guard(crewai_tools)     # CrewAI BaseTools
shield.agentic.guard(openai_agent)     # OpenAI Agents FunctionTools
shield.agentic.guard(pydantic_agent)   # PydanticAI agent
```

### Durable & native-hook frameworks (Temporal, Strands, Google ADK, Hermes, OpenClaw)

For frameworks that expose a first-class hook / plugin / interceptor system,
the adapter is a **single object you attach at construction** — no monkey-patch,
no per-tool code. Each one rides the framework's own extension point and reuses
the same PDP core, so verdicts (ALLOW / MASK / REQUIRE_APPROVAL / DENY),
grants, fingerprinting and audit are identical to every other integration.

```python
# Temporal — one interceptor gates every activity (runs outside the workflow
# sandbox, so a DENY raises a NON-retryable ApplicationError):
worker = Worker(client, task_queue="q", activities=[...],
                interceptors=[shield.agentic.temporal()])

# AWS Strands — one HookProvider gates every tool invocation:
agent = Agent(model=..., tools=[...], hooks=[shield.agentic.strands()])

# Google ADK — one app-level plugin gates every tool across every agent:
runner = InMemoryRunner(agent=agent, plugins=[shield.agentic.google_adk()])

# Hermes Agent (NousResearch) — call from your Hermes plugin's register(ctx):
def register(ctx):
    shield.agentic.hermes(ctx)          # pre_tool_call PEP over built-in/plugin/MCP tools
```

**OpenClaw** (Node/TS runtime) integrates in two layers: the LLM leg is
zero-code config, generated from Python —

```python
cfg = shield.agentic.openclaw_config(models=[{"id": "gpt-4o-mini", ...}])
# merge cfg into openclaw.json; set agents.defaults.model.primary = "deepintshield/gpt-4o-mini"
```

— and in-process tool governance ships as a thin TypeScript plugin calling the
same REST `/decide` API (see [`examples/openclaw/`](examples/openclaw/README.md)).

| Framework | Attach point | Native hook used |
|---|---|---|
| Temporal | `interceptors=[shield.agentic.temporal()]` | `ActivityInboundInterceptor.execute_activity` |
| AWS Strands | `hooks=[shield.agentic.strands()]` | `BeforeToolInvocationEvent` |
| Google ADK | `plugins=[shield.agentic.google_adk()]` | `BasePlugin.before_tool_callback` |
| Hermes Agent | `shield.agentic.hermes(ctx)` | plugin `pre_tool_call` hook |
| OpenClaw | config + TS plugin | `models.providers` + `before_tool_call` |

### Explicit decorator / decision probe

```python
@shield.agentic.tool("db.write")
def write_ledger(row: dict) -> dict:
    return db.execute("INSERT INTO ledger …", row)

decision = shield.agentic.decide(tool="db.write", args={"amount": 12})
```

```python
from deepintshield import GuardrailDenied

try:
    write_ledger({"amount": 1.2})
except GuardrailDenied as e:
    log.warning("denied: %s (decision_id=%s)", e.reason, e.decision_id)
```

### Optional risk signals (OWASP Agentic gap operands)

For threats only your app can observe, pass an ABAC signal on a `decide()` and
author a policy on it (one-click templates ship under **Agentic → Templates**):

| Signal | Threat | Policy operand |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `memory_integrity` | T1 Memory Poisoning | `memory_integrity eq true` |
| `hallucination_risk` | T5 Cascading Hallucination | `hallucination_risk gte 0.8` |
| `goal_drift` | T7 Misaligned & Deceptive | `goal_drift eq true` |
| `comm_integrity` | T12 Agent Comm Poisoning | `comm_integrity eq true` |
| `delegation_depth` | T14 Human Attacks on MAS | `delegation_depth gt 4` (server-computed) |

```python
from deepintshield import ContextBag, DelegationContext

shield.agentic.decide(DelegationContext(
    tool="ledger.post", virtual_key=shield.virtual_key,
    context=ContextBag(hallucination_risk=0.91, goal_drift=True),
))
```

### Agent identity (zero config)

When the virtual key is bound to an identity provider, the SDK auto-discovers
the binding (`GET /api/agentic-security/vk-credential-info`), selects the right
credential (Entra Agent ID FIC / ZeroID RFC 8693 / generic OIDC), and attaches a
fresh `X-Agent-Token` on every decision. On Azure compute the Managed Identity
is detected automatically - **no GUIDs, authority, or scopes in your code.**

```python
info = shield.agentic.credential_info     # ops visibility into the binding
print(info.provider_type, info.tenant_id, info.agent_configured)
```

## Guardrail stages (input / output / tool)

Programmatic guardrail evaluation when you want the result in hand rather than
transparent enforcement:

```python
@shield.agent.tool(action_class="write")
def write_file(path: str, content: str) -> None: ...

shield.agent.check_input("user message")
shield.agent.evaluate_tool(name="read_file", args={"path": "/tmp"}, action_class="read")
shield.agent.check_output("model reply")
```

LangGraph guard-node wrapper (inserts input/tool/output guard nodes):

```python
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph

graph = StateGraph(AgentState)
graph.add_node("agent", agent_node)
graph.add_node("tools", tools_node)
graph = shield.langgraph().wrap(graph)     # inserts input_guard, tool_guard, output_guard
app = graph.compile()
```

---

## Multimodal guardrails (transparent)

Image generation, image edits, audio (TTS / transcription), video, embedding and
rerank requests are guarded **at the gateway** - no SDK changes and no extra code.
Keep using the native provider SDKs through DeepIntShield; when the operator
enables `GUARDRAILS_MULTIMODAL`, the gateway evaluates the text these requests
already carry (image/TTS/video prompts, transcripts) and the binary artifacts
themselves, blocking or flagging per your policies.

```python
client = shield.openai()

# Guarded automatically - the image prompt is evaluated before generation.
img = client.images.generate(model="gpt-image-1", prompt="a serene mountain lake")

# A blocked prompt surfaces as the provider SDK's normal HTTP error:
from deepintshield import DeepintShieldError
try:
    client.audio.speech.create(model="tts-1", voice="alloy", input="<disallowed text>")
except DeepintShieldError as exc:
    print(exc.status_code, exc.payload)   # 403 guardrail_blocked
```

For an explicit verdict (rather than transparent enforcement), `evaluate_guardrail`
returns a `GuardrailResult`; `result.mode` reports whether the verdict was
enforcing (`sync`) or observe-only (`shadow`).

---

## MCP

Generic MCP support - works with any server connected to your DeepintShield
gateway. No per-server SDK code; the same `Tool` / `MCPClient` API serves
DeepWiki, Context7, GitHub MCP, an internal one, and so on.

### Direct call

```python
from deepintshield import DeepintShield

shield = DeepintShield.from_env()
result = shield.mcp.call(
    server="DeepWiki",                       # case-sensitive client name from MCP Registry
    tool="ask_question",                     # bare tool name (no prefix)
    repoName="facebook/react",
    question="What is Suspense?",
)
print(result.text)
```

### OpenAI tool-calling loop

```python
from deepintshield import DeepintShield, Tool

shield = DeepintShield.from_env()
openai = shield.openai()

tools = [
    Tool(server="DeepWiki", name="ask_question",
         description="Ask a question about a public GitHub repository.",
         schema={"type": "object",
                 "properties": {"repoName": {"type": "string"},
                                "question": {"type": "string"}},
                 "required": ["repoName", "question"]}),
]

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize facebook/react's reconciler."}]
first = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=messages,
    tools=shield.mcp.to_openai(tools),
    tool_choice="required",
)
assistant = first.choices[0].message
messages.append(assistant.model_dump(exclude_none=True))
messages.extend(shield.mcp.run_openai_tool_calls(assistant.tool_calls))

final = openai.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o-mini", messages=messages)
print(final.choices[0].message.content)
```

### Anthropic tool_use loop

```python
anthropic = shield.anthropic()

response = anthropic.messages.create(
    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-latest",
    max_tokens=1024,
    tools=shield.mcp.to_anthropic(tools),
    messages=messages,
)
if response.stop_reason == "tool_use":
    messages.append({"role": "assistant",
                     "content": [b.model_dump() for b in response.content]})
    messages.append({"role": "user",
                     "content": shield.mcp.run_anthropic_tool_uses(response.content)})
    final = anthropic.messages.create(
        model="claude-3-5-sonnet-latest",
        max_tokens=1024,
        tools=shield.mcp.to_anthropic(tools),
        messages=messages,
    )
```

### LangChain / LangGraph

```python
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, create_tool_calling_agent
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate

llm = shield.langchain(model="gpt-4o-mini")
mcp_tools = shield.mcp.to_langchain(tools)            # ready-to-use BaseTool list

prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
    ("system", "Answer using the available DeepWiki tools."),
    ("user", "{input}"),
    ("placeholder", "{agent_scratchpad}"),
])
agent = create_tool_calling_agent(llm, mcp_tools, prompt)
print(AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=mcp_tools).invoke(
    {"input": "Summarize facebook/react's reconciler."}
)["output"])
```

LangGraph reuses the same `mcp_tools` list - drop them into a `ToolNode`.

---

## Cost Optimization

The SDK automatically participates in the gateway's two cost-reduction layers
(both controlled by workspace switches under **Cost Optimization**):

- **Provider prompt caching** - every chat client returned by `shield.openai()`,
  `shield.anthropic()`, etc. ships an `httpx` request hook that injects
  Anthropic `cache_control` markers and an OpenAI `prompt_cache_key` so the
  provider reuses KV state for the static prompt prefix. Cached tokens come
  back at the provider's reduced rate (50% off OpenAI, 90% off Anthropic).
- **Gemini context caching** - opt in with `shield.genai_cached()` (drop-in
  for `shield.genai()`). The wrapper manages the `cachedContents` resource
  lifecycle behind the scenes; the first call with a new static prefix runs
  normally and the next call within the TTL window reuses the cache.
- **Semantic caching** - runs on the gateway; short-circuits requests whose
  embeddings match a previous response within the configured similarity
  threshold. The SDK doesn't need any code change to benefit; results flow
  back through the normal API.

### Per-request cache overrides

Workspace settings are the default, but any individual call can override
them by passing one of the following headers. Useful when one job needs a
different TTL, a stricter threshold, or wants to bypass the cache entirely
(evals, audits, debugging).

| Header | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| `x-bf-cache-ttl` | Override the semantic cache TTL for this request (e.g. `30s`, `5m`, `3600`). |
| `x-bf-cache-threshold` | Override the similarity threshold for this request (`0.0`–`1.0`). |
| `x-bf-cache-type` | Force `direct` (hash-only) or `semantic` (similarity search) for this request. |
| `x-bf-cache-no-store` | Set to `true` to read from the cache but skip writing the new response. |
| `x-bf-cache-key` | Provide an explicit cache key for direct hash matching. |

Set them via the native provider SDK's `extra_headers` (or equivalent):

```python
shield.openai().chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    extra_headers={
        "x-bf-cache-ttl": "30s",
        "x-bf-cache-threshold": "0.9",
    },
)
```

For Anthropic, use the `extra_headers` parameter on `messages.create(...)`;
for Google GenAI, set them on `HttpOptions(headers=...)` when constructing
the client.
