aegisflow 3.0.1

The Universal Security Layer for AI Agents — Plugin-Based Guardrails, Rail System, and Process Sandboxing

🛡️ AegisFlow v3.0 — Sentinel Pro

The Universal Security Layer for AI Agents.

AegisFlow is a sophisticated Security Liaison designed to govern AI agent actions through transparent mediation rather than silent blocking. It acts as a "conscious" layer, ensuring high-risk operations are verified by a human-in-the-loop (HITL).

v3.0 "Sentinel Pro" introduces ML-powered detection, a plugin architecture, and enhanced process isolation.

🚀 Key Features

• ML-Powered Detection: Hybrid engine using HuggingFace Transformers (optional) + 25+ YARA-style regex rules.
• Sandwich Wrapper: Wrap any terminal command (aegis run) with isolation levels, auto-kill timeouts, and cost tracking.
• Rail System: Decorator-based @input_rail and @output_rail for granular control.
• Sentinel State Engine: Persistent risk scoring (0-100), session tracking, and rich dashboard.
• Plugin Architecture: Extensible system for custom threat scanners.

📦 Installation

pip install aegisflow

For ML-powered detection (requires PyTorch/Transformers):

pip install "aegisflow[ml]"

🛠️ Usage

1. Interactive CLI

The new aegis CLI provides a suite of security tools:

# Wrap a process with monitoring (Level 2 Isolation: Read-only FS)
aegis run --isolation 2 --timeout 300 "ollama run llama3"

# Scan a file or directory for threats
aegis scan ./my_agent_scripts/ -r

# View live security dashboard
aegis dashboard

# Export audit logs
aegis export html

2. Python SDK

Integrate AegisFlow into your agent code:

from aegisflow import SecurityLiaison, input_rail, output_rail

# 1. Define Rails
@input_rail
def check_injection(content: str):
    if "ignore previous instructions" in content.lower():
        return False, "Prompt injection detected"
    return True, None

# 2. Initialize Liaison
liaison = SecurityLiaison()

# 3. Mediate Actions
async def safe_execute(command: str):
    approved = await liaison.async_mediate("check_command", command)
    if approved:
        run_command(command)

🧠 Detection Engine

AegisFlow v3.0 uses a two-stage detection engine:

1. ML Model (Optional): protectai/deberta-v3-base-prompt-injection-v2 for high-accuracy injection detection.
2. Regex Fallback: Robust patterns for:
   • Prompt Injection (DAN, virtual machine, developer mode)
   • Destructive Commands (rm -rf, mkfs)
   • Data Exfiltration (curl/wget with key-like patterns)
   • Privilege Escalation (sudo, chmod)
   • Secret Leakage (AWS/GCP keys, weak crypto)

🥪 The Aegis Sandwich

The AegisSandwich wrapper monitors standard output/error in real-time.

• Isolation Levels:

  • 0: None (Monitor only)
  • 1: Environment Filter (Strip sensitive env vars)
  • 2: Read-Only Filesystem (Best effort via OS flags)
  • 3: Docker Sandbox (Coming soon)

• Cost Tracking: Estimates token usage and cost for sandwiched LLM processes.

🛡️ Sentinel Dashboard

Track your agent's safety reputation over time.

• Risk Score (0-100): Increases with every blocked threat.
• Streaks: 3 Medium threats = Auto-Escalation to High.
• Audit Logs: stored in ~/.aegis/logs/aegis_audit.jsonl.

Configuration

Custom configuration via .aegis.yaml or .aegis.json:

detector:
  use_ml: true
  ml_confidence_threshold: 0.9

sandwich:
  isolation_level: 1
  auto_kill_timeout: 600

sentinel:
  webhook_url: "https://my-slack-webhook.com/alerts"
