Agent Trust SDK for Python

Python SDK for TrustAgents - the security layer for AI agents.

Three powerful tools:

TrustGuard - Protect your AI agent from malicious content
RedTeam - Security test your agents before deployment
AgentTrustClient - Verify agents and track reputation

Installation

pip install agent-trust-sdk

Quick Start

TrustGuard - Protect Your AI Agent

Scan untrusted content before letting your AI agent process it:

from agent_trust import TrustGuard

guard = TrustGuard(api_key="ta_xxx...")  # Get key at trustagents.dev

# Scan web content before processing
result = guard.scan_web(html_content)
if result.is_safe:
    agent.process(html_content)
else:
    print(f"Blocked: {result.reasoning}")
    for threat in result.threats:
        print(f"  - {threat.pattern_name}: {threat.matched_text}")

# Scan documents
result = guard.scan_document(pdf_text, filename="report.pdf")

# Scan emails
result = guard.scan_email(body=email.body, subject=email.subject)

# Scan MCP tool descriptions
result = guard.scan_tool(name="calculator", description=tool.description)

# Scan before storing in memory
result = guard.scan_memory(content=user_message, memory_type="conversation")

# Scan before RAG indexing
result = guard.scan_rag(content=doc.text, source="knowledge_base.txt")

# Fetch and scan a URL in one call
result = guard.fetch_url("https://example.com/page")
if result.is_safe:
    agent.process(result.guard_result.content)

AgentTrustClient - Verify Agents

Check if an agent is trustworthy before interacting:

from agent_trust import AgentTrustClient

client = AgentTrustClient()

result = client.verify_agent(
    name="Shopping Assistant",
    url="https://shop.ai/agent",
    description="I help you find the best deals"
)

if result.is_blocked:
    print(f"⛔ Agent blocked: {result.reasoning}")
elif result.verdict == "caution":
    print(f"⚠️ Proceed with caution")
else:
    print(f"✅ Agent is safe! Trust score: {result.trust_score}")

TrustGuard Reference

Scan Web Content

Detects hidden text, zero-width characters, HTML comment injection, markdown attacks, and prompt injection:

result = guard.scan_web(
    content="<html>...</html>",
    source_url="https://example.com",  # Optional, for logging
    extract_text=True,                  # Extract visible text from HTML
    check_hidden=True,                  # Check for hidden/invisible text
)

print(f"Safe: {result.is_safe}")
print(f"Verdict: {result.verdict}")  # allow, caution, block
print(f"Threats: {len(result.threats)}")

Scan Documents

Detects hidden text in PDFs, macro indicators in Office docs, and prompt injection:

result = guard.scan_document(
    content="Document text...",
    filename="report.pdf",
    document_type="pdf",
    metadata={"author": "John"}
)

Scan Emails

Detects phishing patterns, credential requests, prompt injection, and social engineering:

result = guard.scan_email(
    body="Email body text...",
    subject="Important!",
    sender="sender@example.com",
    headers={"Reply-To": "..."}
)

Scan MCP Tools

Detects tool description poisoning, hidden instructions, and capability escalation:

result = guard.scan_tool(
    name="file_reader",
    description="Reads files from disk",
    schema={"type": "object", "properties": {...}},
    server_url="https://mcp-server.com"
)

if result.is_blocked:
    print(f"Malicious tool detected: {result.reasoning}")

Scan Memory Content

Prevents memory poisoning and persistent instruction injection:

result = guard.scan_memory(
    content="User's message to store...",
    context="Chat conversation",
    memory_type="conversation"  # or "fact", "preference", etc.
)

if result.is_safe:
    memory.store(content)

Scan RAG Content

Prevents RAG poisoning attacks before indexing documents:

result = guard.scan_rag(
    content="Document text to index...",
    source="documents/policy.txt",
    metadata={"category": "policies"},
    chunk_id="chunk_001"
)

if result.is_safe:
    vector_store.add(doc)

Batch Scanning

Scan multiple items efficiently (max 100 per request):

from agent_trust import BatchScanItem, ContentSource

items = [
    BatchScanItem(id="doc1", source_type=ContentSource.DOCUMENT, content="..."),
    BatchScanItem(id="doc2", source_type=ContentSource.DOCUMENT, content="..."),
    {"id": "web1", "source_type": "web", "content": "..."},  # Dict also works
]

response = guard.scan_batch(items)

print(f"Total: {response.total}")
print(f"Safe: {response.safe_count}")
print(f"Threats: {response.threat_count}")

for result in response.results:
    if not result.result.is_safe:
        print(f"Threat in {result.id}: {result.result.reasoning}")

Fetch and Scan URL

Fetch a URL and scan in one call:

result = guard.fetch_url("https://example.com/page")

if result.fetched:
    if result.is_safe:
        agent.process(result.guard_result.content)
    else:
        print(f"Content blocked: {result.guard_result.reasoning}")
else:
    print(f"Fetch failed: {result.fetch_error}")

Async Support

from agent_trust import AsyncTrustGuard

async with AsyncTrustGuard(api_key="ta_xxx...") as guard:
    result = await guard.scan_web(html_content)
    if result.is_safe:
        await agent.process(html_content)

RedTeam - Security Testing

Test your AI agents against 67+ threat patterns before deployment:

from agent_trust import RedTeam

redteam = RedTeam(api_key="ta_xxx...")

# Run a security scan against your agent
result = redteam.scan("https://my-agent.com/chat")

print(f"Security Score: {result.security_score}/100")
print(f"Risk Level: {result.risk_level}")  # LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL
print(f"Vulnerabilities Found: {result.successful_attacks}")

if result.has_critical_issues:
    print("⚠️ Critical vulnerabilities detected!")
    for vuln in result.vulnerabilities:
        print(f"  - [{vuln.severity}] {vuln.threat_name}")

# Export report
redteam.export(result, "security-report.json")

Scan Modes

from agent_trust import ScanMode

# Quick scan (~20 attacks, <30s)
result = redteam.scan(target, mode=ScanMode.QUICK)

result = redteam.scan(
    "https://my-agent.com/chat",
    categories=[
        ThreatCategory.PROMPT_INJECTION,
        ThreatCategory.JAILBREAK,
    ],
)

Available categories:

    auth_token="Bearer sk-xxx...",
    headers={"X-Custom-Header": "value"},
    payload_field="message",  # JSON field for the message
)

Progress Tracking

def on_progress(progress):
    print(f"Progress: {progress.progress_percent:.0f}% "
          f"({progress.completed_attacks}/{progress.total_attacks})")

result = redteam.scan(target, on_progress=on_progress)

Async Scanning

# Start scan without blocking
scan_id = redteam.scan_async_start("https://my-agent.com/chat")

# Check status
status = redteam.get_scan_status(scan_id)
print(f"Status: {status.status}, Progress: {status.progress_percent}%")

# Get results when done
if status.status == ScanStatus.COMPLETED:
    result = redteam.get_scan_result(scan_id)

Mock Scanning (for testing)

# Test SDK integration without a real agent
result = redteam.scan_mock(vulnerability_rate=0.3)
print(f"Mock score: {result.security_score}")

List Available Threats

# See all threat patterns
threats = redteam.list_threats()
for threat in threats:
    print(f"[{threat.severity}] {threat.name}: {threat.description}")

# Filter by category
pi_threats = redteam.list_threats(category=ThreatCategory.PROMPT_INJECTION)

# Get stats
stats = redteam.threat_stats()
print(f"Total threats: {stats['total_threats']}")
print(f"By category: {stats['by_category']}")
