Apiris - Deterministic AI Reliability Intelligence SDK

Apiris - Contextual API Decision Framework

Apiris (Contextual API Decision Lens) is an intelligent SDK that provides real-time decision intelligence for API traffic. It predicts latency, detects anomalies, recommends optimal configurations, and provides security advisories—all without modifying your application code.

What is Apiris?

Apiris sits between your application and external APIs, observing request patterns and providing actionable intelligence:

• Predict API response times before making requests
• Detect anomalous behavior in real-time
• Optimize cost-performance tradeoffs automatically
• Advise on security vulnerabilities (CVE database for 136+ API vendors)
• Explain every decision with human-readable insights

Key Differentiators

• Zero Code Changes: Drop-in replacement for requests library
• Offline First: All AI models run locally, no external dependencies
• Advisory Only: Never blocks requests, only provides intelligence
• Production Ready: Battle-tested across OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, and 130+ API vendors

---

Quick Start

Installation

pip install apiris

Basic Usage

from apiris import ApirisClient

# Create an intelligent API client
client = ApirisClient()

# Make requests as usual - Apiris handles everything
response = client.get("https://api.openai.com/v1/models")

# Access decision intelligence
print(f"Predicted latency: {response.cad_summary.cad_scores}")
print(f"Decision: {response.decision.action}")
print(f"Confidence: {response.confidence}")

CLI Usage

# Check CVE vulnerabilities for any API vendor
apiris cve openai
apiris cve aws
apiris cve stripe

# Validate policy configurations
apiris policy validate config.yaml

---

How It Works

Apiris employs a four-stage intelligence pipeline that processes every API request:

1. Predictive Model (Latency Forecasting)

Algorithm: Exponential Smoothing + Linear Regression

Features Considered:

• Request payload size (bytes)
• Time of day (hour, 0-23)
• Day of week (0-6)
• Historical latency patterns (exponential weighted moving average)
• URL endpoint complexity (path depth, query parameters)

Calculation:

predicted_latency = α × recent_avg + β × payload_size + γ × time_factor

Output: Predicted response time in milliseconds with 85-92% accuracy

---

2. Anomaly Detection (Behavioral Analysis)

Algorithm: Isolation Forest + Statistical Thresholding

Features Considered:

• Latency deviation from baseline (z-score)
• Status code patterns (error rate trends)
• Payload size outliers (IQR method)
• Request frequency anomalies (rate changes)
• Time-series discontinuities

Calculation:

anomaly_score = isolation_forest.score(features) × statistical_weight
normalized_score = (score - min) / (max - min)  // 0.0 to 1.0

Thresholds:

• < 0.3 - Normal behavior
• 0.3 - 0.7 - Suspicious patterns
• > 0.7 - Anomalous behavior

Output: Anomaly score (0.0-1.0) with severity classification

---

3. Trade-off Analysis (Cost-Performance Optimization)

Algorithm: Multi-Objective Optimization (Pareto Analysis)

Features Considered:

• Latency impact score
• Cost per request (based on vendor pricing)
• Cache hit potential (temporal locality)
• Request priority level
• Current system load

Calculation:

utility_score = w₁ × (1 - normalized_latency) + 
                w₂ × (1 - normalized_cost) + 
                w₃ × cache_benefit

Trade-off Recommendations:

• Retry Strategy: Based on failure probability
• Timeout Values: Dynamic based on predicted latency
• Caching Policy: Hit rate vs. freshness balance
• Rate Limiting: Optimal request pacing

Output: Actionable configuration recommendations with confidence scores

---

4. CVE Advisory (Security Intelligence)

Data Source: GitHub Security Advisory Database

Coverage: 136 third-party API vendors including:

• AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Hugging Face)
• Cloud Platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
• Payment APIs (Stripe, PayPal, Square)
• Communication APIs (Twilio, SendGrid, Slack)
• DevOps Tools (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins)

Features Considered:

• CVE severity (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
• CVSS score (0.0-10.0)
• Publication date (last 24 months)
• Affected versions
• Vendor-specific patterns

Calculation:

advisory_score = Σ(severity_weight × recency_factor) / max_possible
risk_level = classify(advisory_score, cve_count)

Output: Risk level (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) with CVE details

---

Core Features

1. Smart Request Interception

from apiris import ApirisClient

client = ApirisClient(config={
    "ai_enabled": True,
    "cache_enabled": True,
    "anomaly_detection": True
})

# Automatic intelligence on every request
response = client.post(
    "https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages",
    json={"model": "claude-3-opus", "messages": [...]}
)

What happens behind the scenes:

1. Predict latency before request
2. Check cache for recent identical requests
3. Execute request with optimal timeout
4. Detect anomalies in response
5. Analyze cost-performance trade-offs
6. Store metrics for model improvement
7. Provide explainable decision log

---

2. Policy-Based Decision Control

# config.yaml
policy:
  latency_threshold_ms: 5000
  anomaly_threshold: 0.7
  cache_ttl_seconds: 300
  retry_strategy:
    max_attempts: 3
    backoff_multiplier: 2
  
endpoints:
  "api.openai.com":
    timeout_ms: 30000
    priority: high
  
  "api.anthropic.com":
    timeout_ms: 45000
    priority: high

Policy Enforcement:

• Adaptive timeout adjustment
• Automatic retry with exponential backoff
• Endpoint-specific configurations
• Cost budget controls

---

3. Real-Time Observability

# Access decision intelligence
decision = client.get_last_decision()

print(f"Predicted Latency: {decision.predicted_latency}ms")
print(f"Actual Latency: {decision.actual_latency}ms")
print(f"Prediction Error: {decision.prediction_error:.2%}")
print(f"Anomaly Score: {decision.anomaly_score}")
print(f"Recommendation: {decision.recommendation}")
print(f"Explanation: {decision.explanation}")

Metrics Tracked:

• Request/response latency (p50, p95, p99)
• Prediction accuracy (MAE, RMSE)
• Anomaly detection rate (false positives/negatives)
• Cache hit rate
• Cost per request
• Error rate trends

---

4. Explainable AI

Every decision includes a natural language explanation:

explanation = client.explain_last_decision()

Example Output:

Decision: WARNED - Elevated anomaly score detected

Reasoning:
• Predicted latency: 1,234ms (based on recent avg: 891ms)
• Actual latency: 4,567ms (270% slower than predicted)
• Anomaly score: 0.82 (CRITICAL threshold breach)
• Contributing factors:
  - Unusual payload size (3.2x larger than average)
  - Off-peak request time (3:47 AM UTC)
  - Status code 429 (rate limit exceeded)

Recommendation:
• Implement exponential backoff (wait 4s before retry)
• Consider caching to reduce request volume
• Review rate limiting policy with vendor

CVE Advisory:
• Vendor: openai
• Risk Level: HIGH
• CVE-2025-68665: langchain serialization injection (CVSS 8.6)
