arkvoid 1.0.0

Official Python SDK for ARKVOID – AI Agent Monitoring & Governance

ARKVOID Python SDK

Official Python SDK for ARKVOID — AI Agent Monitoring & Governance.

Zero required dependencies. Uses Python stdlib only (hashlib, urllib).
Optionally install requests for connection pooling or aiohttp for async.

---

Installation

pip install arkvoid

# With requests (recommended for sync usage):
pip install arkvoid[requests]

# With aiohttp (for async):
pip install arkvoid[async]

# Everything:
pip install arkvoid[all]

---

Quick Start

from arkvoid import ArkvoidClient

client = ArkvoidClient(
    api_key="ARK_your_key_here",  # get at arkvoid.cherazen.com
    agent="my-agent",
)

result = client.trace(
    action="document_analysis",
    risk_level="low",
    model_provider="openai",
    model_name="gpt-4o",
    input_tokens=1200,
    output_tokens=340,
    duration_ms=1823,
)

print(result.trace_id)  # ark_a1b2c3d4...
print(result.hash)      # sha256:...

client.trace(...)

result = client.trace(
    action="chat_completion",         # required
    risk_level="low",                 # "low"|"medium"|"high"|"critical"
    agent="my-agent",                 # override default
    risk_score=15,                    # 0–100
    input_data=messages,              # SHA-256 hashed automatically
    output_data=response_text,        # SHA-256 hashed automatically
    duration_ms=1423,
    model_provider="openai",
    model_name="gpt-4o",
    input_tokens=850,
    output_tokens=210,
    metadata={"user_id": "u_123"},
    tool_calls=[
        ToolCallRecord(
            tool_name="web_search",
            input={"query": "AI governance"},
            output={"count": 10},
            latency_ms=340,
            status="success",
        )
    ],
    tags=["chat", "production"],
    session_id="sess_abc",
    parent_trace_id="ark_xyz",
)
# result: TraceResponse(trace_id="ark_...", status="verified", hash="sha256:...")

---

@trace Decorator

import os
from arkvoid import trace

@trace(
    agent="my-agent",
    action="analyze_document",
    risk_level="low",
    model_provider="openai",
    model_name="gpt-4o",
    tags=["analysis"],
)
def analyze_document(text: str) -> str:
    return llm.complete(text)  # traced automatically

# Async functions work identically:
@trace(agent="my-agent")
async def async_query(prompt: str) -> str:
    return await async_llm.complete(prompt)

---

@trace_tool Decorator

For tool/function calls within agents:

from arkvoid import trace_tool

@trace_tool(
    agent="my-agent",
    tool_name="web_search",
    external_system="serpapi",
    risk_level="low",
)
def web_search(query: str) -> dict:
    return serpapi.search(query)

---

client.log_action(fn, ...)

Run a callable and auto-trace it:

result = client.log_action(
    lambda: openai_client.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o", messages=msgs),
    action="gpt4o_call",
    risk_level="low",
    model_provider="openai",
    model_name="gpt-4o",
)

---

client.verify(trace_id, expected_hash=None)

result = client.verify(trace_id="ark_abc123")
print(result.valid)  # True
print(result.hash)   # sha256:...

---

Async Client

import asyncio
from arkvoid import AsyncArkvoidClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncArkvoidClient(api_key="ARK_...") as client:
        result = await client.trace(
            action="async_query",
            agent="my-agent",
            risk_level="low",
        )
        print(result.trace_id)

asyncio.run(main())

---

Hash Utilities

from arkvoid import sha256_hex, hash_value, compute_trace_integrity_hash, hashes_equal

# Hash any value (deterministic, sorted keys)
h = hash_value({"prompt": "hello", "model": "gpt-4o"})
# "sha256:a3f1b2..."

# Verify local trace integrity
expected = compute_trace_integrity_hash(
    agent_id="...", action="document_analysis", timestamp="2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
)
print(hashes_equal(expected, result.hash))  # True

---

Error Handling

from arkvoid import (
    ArkvoidAuthError,
    ArkvoidNotFoundError,
    ArkvoidRateLimitError,
    ArkvoidTimeoutError,
)

try:
    result = client.trace(action="query", risk_level="low")
except ArkvoidAuthError:
    print("Invalid API key")
except ArkvoidNotFoundError:
    print("Agent not registered — visit arkvoid.cherazen.com")
except ArkvoidRateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {e.retry_after_ms}ms")
except ArkvoidTimeoutError:
    print("Request timed out")

Silent Mode

client = ArkvoidClient(api_key="ARK_...", silent=True)
result = client.trace(action="query", risk_level="low")
# result is None if the request failed — never raises

---

Environment Variables

export ARKVOID_API_KEY=ARK_your_key_here
export ARKVOID_AGENT=my-agent

import os
from arkvoid import ArkvoidClient

client = ArkvoidClient(api_key=os.environ["ARKVOID_API_KEY"])
