Python SDK for AI agent security - threat detection, content scanning, trust verification, and red team testing
Project description
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")
