ADR Sensor

Agentic Detection & Response (ADR) Sensor - Security observability for AI coding agents.

ADR Sensor is a Python library that collects telemetry from AI coding agents to enable security monitoring, threat detection, and observability. It parses logs from multiple AI agent platforms and normalizes them into a unified schema for downstream analysis.

Quick Start

Installation

pip install adr-sensor

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/uber/ADR
cd ADR/Sensor
pip install -e ".[dev]"

CLI Usage

# Ingest from all supported agents
adr-sensor

# Ingest from a specific source
adr-sensor --source claude
adr-sensor --source cursor
adr-sensor --source codex

# Save individual session files (incremental)
adr-sensor --save-sessions

# Export as JSONL
adr-sensor --output-format jsonl

# Include all history (not just last 2 weeks)
adr-sensor --all-history

# Custom output directory
adr-sensor --output-dir ./my-output

Python API

from adr_sensor import AgentObserver

# Create observer
observer = AgentObserver()

# Ingest from all sources
events, configs = observer.ingest_all()

# Or from a specific source
events, configs = observer.ingest_all(source_filter="claude")

# Display summary
observer.display_summary(events, configs)

# Save to file
observer.save_to_file(events, configs, output_format="json")

# Analyze events
for event in events:
    print(f"Source: {event.source}, Session: {event.session_id}")
    print(f"Messages: {len(event.chat_history)}")

    for msg in event.chat_history:
        if msg.tools:
            for tool in msg.tools:
                print(f"  Tool: {tool.tool_name} ({tool.tool_type})")
                print(f"  Args: {tool.arguments}")

Output Schema

AgentEvent

Each parsed session produces an AgentEvent with the following structure:

{
  "uuid": "sha256-hash",
  "timestamp": "2025-06-15T10:30:00+00:00",
  "source": "claude",
  "session_id": "claude_abc123",
  "hostname": "my-laptop",
  "username": "developer",
  "model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
  "project_path": "/home/user/my-project",
  "chat_history": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Help me fix this bug",
      "tools": [],
      "sequence_id": "msg_0"
    },
    {
      "role": "assistant",
      "content": "Let me look at the code.",
      "tools": [
        {
          "tool_name": "read_file",
          "tool_type": "tool_use",
          "arguments": {"path": "main.py"},
          "result": "def hello(): ...",
          "status": "success"
        }
      ],
      "sequence_id": "msg_1"
    }
  ]
}

Adding a New Parser

ADR Sensor is designed to be extensible. To add support for a new AI agent:

1. Create a new parser in adr_sensor/parsers/:

from adr_sensor.parsers.base_parser import BaseParser
from adr_sensor.schemas.agent_event_schema import AgentEvent, ChatMessage, ToolUsage

class MyAgentParser(BaseParser):
    def __init__(self):
        self.base_path = Path.home() / ".my-agent/logs"

    def parse_all(self) -> list[AgentEvent]:
        entries = []
        # Parse your agent's log files
        # Convert to AgentEvent objects
        return entries

1. Register it in adr_sensor/observer.py:

from .parsers.my_agent_parser import MyAgentParser

class AgentObserver:
    def __init__(self, ...):
        ...
        self.my_agent_parser = MyAgentParser()

    def ingest_all(self, source_filter="all"):
        ...
        if source_filter in ["all", "my_agent"]:
            entries = self.my_agent_parser.parse_all()
            all_entries.extend(entries)

1. Add tests in tests/.

Security Use Cases

ADR Sensor enables detection of:

• Suspicious tool usage - Unusual MCP tools, unauthorized file access, credential exfiltration
• Prompt injection - Malicious content injected into agent conversations
• Supply chain risks - Malicious MCP server configurations, suspicious packages
• Data exfiltration - Sensitive data accessed or transmitted by agents
• Anomalous behavior - Activity outside normal patterns, burst tool usage
