agendex 0.2.1

Governance SDK for AI Agents - Runtime policy enforcement, activity capture, and approval workflows

Agendex SDK

Resource-Level Governance for AI Agents - Dynamic task-scoped access control, parameter inspection, and tamper-evident audit trails.

What Makes Agendex Different

Traditional IAM	Agendex
"Agent can use payment tool"	"Agent doing vendor_payment task can call payments API if amount < $1000"
Static permissions	Dynamic, task-scoped
No parameter inspection	Full body/query inspection
Tool-level control	Resource-level control

Installation

pip install agendex

With framework extras:

pip install agendex[langchain]   # LangChain integration
pip install agendex[crewai]      # CrewAI integration
pip install agendex[all]         # All integrations

Quick Start: Resource-Level Governance (~30 lines)

from agendex import AgendexClient, GovernedDBClient, GovernedS3Client, GovernedHTTPSession
from agendex.errors import DeniedError, PendingApprovalError

# 1. Create client (reads config from env vars)
client = AgendexClient()

# 2. Create governed resource clients
db = GovernedDBClient(client, task="monthly_report")
s3 = GovernedS3Client(client, task="monthly_report")
http = GovernedHTTPSession(client, task="monthly_report")

# 3. Use in your tools - governance happens automatically
def fetch_revenue(month: str) -> str:
    try:
        result = db.query("monthly_revenue", {"month": month})
        return json.dumps(result.get("rows", []))
    except DeniedError as e:
        return f"[DENIED] {e.reason}"
    except PendingApprovalError as e:
        return f"[APPROVAL REQUIRED] ID: {e.approval_id}"

def initiate_payment(amount: float, vendor: str) -> str:
    try:
        result = http.post(
            "https://payments.api/v1/pay",
            json={"amount": amount, "vendor": vendor}
        )
        return json.dumps(result)
    except DeniedError as e:
        return f"[DENIED] {e.reason}"  # e.g., "amount > 5000"

Policy Examples

agents:
  finance_bot:
    allow:
      # DB: Only specific queries, scoped by task
      - action: "db.query.run"
        resources:
          - type: db_query
            query_id: "monthly_revenue"
        tasks: ["monthly_report", "demo"]

      # S3: Only specific buckets/prefixes
      - action: "s3.reports.fetch"
        resources:
          - type: s3
            bucket: "reports-bucket"
            key_prefix: "monthly/"

      # HTTP: Parameter-aware decisions
      - action: "http.service.call"
        condition: "body.amount < 1000"

      - action: "http.service.call"
        condition: "1000 <= body.amount <= 5000"
        require_approval: true

      # CRM: Scoped to lookup only
      - action: "crm.lookup"
        tasks: ["support"]

    deny:
      - action: "http.service.call"
        condition: "body.amount > 5000"

Resource Clients

Client	Action	What It Governs
GovernedDBClient	db.query.run	Query ID, parameters
GovernedS3Client	s3.reports.fetch	Bucket, key prefix
GovernedHTTPSession	http.service.call	Domain, path, method, body
GovernedCRMClient	crm.lookup, crm.update	Account ID, status changes
GovernedTool	any custom action	Arbitrary params

GovernedTool: Custom Actions

For actions that don't fit a built-in client, use GovernedTool:

from agendex import GovernedTool

# Wrap any action
slack = GovernedTool(client, action="slack.post", task="alerts")
slack.invoke(channel="#ops", message="System alert!")

# Or call it directly
email = GovernedTool(client, action="email.send", task="notifications")
email(to="[e-mail]", subject="Report ready")

Configuration

Override default action names globally:

from agendex import configure_actions

configure_actions(
    db_query="database.execute",    # db.query -> database.execute
    http_request="api.call",        # http.request -> api.call
    crm_lookup="salesforce.lookup", # crm.lookup -> salesforce.lookup
)

Integration Overhead

~31 lines to add Agendex to an existing agent:

• 2 lines: imports
• 3 lines: config
• 3 lines: tool signatures
• 18 lines: error handling (6 per tool)
• 5 lines: initialization
