asqav 0.4.2

AI agent governance - audit trails, policy enforcement, compliance

asqav

Python SDK for asqav.com. All ML-DSA cryptography runs server-side. Drop-in for AI agent governance: audit trails, policy enforcement, compliance.

Install

pip install asqav

Quick start

import asqav

asqav.init(api_key="sk_...")
agent = asqav.Agent.create("my-agent")
sig = agent.sign("api:call", {"model": "gpt-4"})

print(sig.verification_url)

Each signed action is recorded server-side with an ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) signature, a chain hash, and a public verification URL.

CLI

The package ships an asqav CLI mirroring the Python API. Set ASQAV_API_KEY and run:

asqav verify <signature_id> [--output json]   # IETF axes when present
asqav sign --agent-id ID --action-type T --action-json action.json \
           --compliance-mode --receipt-type protectmcp:decision \
           --risk-class high --issuer-id legal:Acme
asqav agents list / create / revoke
asqav sessions list / end
asqav replay <agent_id> <session_id>          # Pro
asqav replay-verify <agent_id> <session_id> [--strict]   # IETF chain
asqav preflight <agent_id> <action_type>      # Pro
asqav budget check / record                   # Pro
asqav approve <session_id> <entity_id>        # Pro
asqav compliance frameworks / export          # Business
asqav audit-pack export --start ISO --end ISO --output-file bundle.json
asqav audit-pack policy <sha256:hex>
asqav payloads erase <signature_id>           # P4: GDPR right-to-erasure
asqav org set-compliance-strict <org_id> --enable|--disable
asqav keys generate --algorithm ed25519|es256 [--out priv.pem]
asqav migrate run v3-20|v3-21|v3-22           # X-Maintenance-Key required
asqav policies / webhooks list / create / delete   # Pro

Pro and Business commands are gated client-side via GET /account so a free-tier key gets a clean upgrade message instead of a mid-pipeline 402.

The IETF Compliance Receipts profile commands (sign --compliance-mode, audit-pack export, audit-pack policy, payloads erase, replay-verify --strict, org set-compliance-strict) match the SDK kwargs on Agent.sign(...) and verify_compliance_receipt(...). See docs/CLI.md for full flag reference.

Roadmap

Six-line view of what is shipped on Asqav:

• Hash-only mode for cloud - Today (default for *.asqav.com).
• Self-hosted signer (split-trust) - Today.
• Bring-your-own KMS (AWS KMS / GCP KMS) - Today, Enterprise tier.
• Customer-owned storage - Today (self-hosted; relay payload allowlist enforced in code).
• SCITT / COSE_Sign1 receipt export - Today (public GET /api/v1/signatures/{id}/cose returns application/cose).
• Air-gapped / on-prem mode - Today (offline license + zero-egress, see docs/airgapped-mode.md in the backend repo).

See the docs at https://asqav.com/docs for the current feature set.

Standards

Asqav's compliance receipts are profiled in IETF Internet-Draft draft-marques-asqav-compliance-receipts, profiling the upstream draft-farley-acta-signed-receipts for EU AI Act Articles 12 and 26, and DORA Article 17 bindings.

Compliance receipts (IETF profile)

Pass compliance_mode=True to agent.sign(...) to emit a Compliance Receipt under draft-marques-asqav-compliance-receipts. The SDK fills action_ref automatically (sha256: over the JCS-canonical action object) so callers only need to supply policy-relevant context.

import asqav

asqav.init(api_key="sk_...")
agent = asqav.Agent.create("payments-agent")

sig = agent.sign(
    "payment.wire_transfer",
    {"amount_eur": 850000, "beneficiary_iban": "DE89370400440532013000"},
    compliance_mode=True,
    receipt_type="protectmcp:decision",
    risk_class="high",
    issuer_id="legal:Acme GmbH",
    iteration_id="task-2026-Q2-4821",
    sandbox_state="enabled",
)

print(sig.compliance_mode)        # True
print(sig.receipt_type)           # "protectmcp:decision"
print(sig.action_ref)             # "sha256:..."
print(sig.previous_receipt_hash)  # 64 hex; "0"*64 on the first record per agent

Local-side sanity checks (presence of REQUIRED fields, namespace, 300s skew bound, predecessor rederivation) are available as asqav.verify_compliance_receipt(envelope, predecessor_envelope=...). The cloud is the authoritative verifier; this helper is a convenience.

Algorithm agility per profile section 10.8 is exposed via asqav.SUPPORTED_ALGORITHMS. Pass algorithm="ed25519" or "es256" to Agent.create(...) for non-post-quantum identities, or asqav.generate_local_keypair("ed25519") for offline scenarios.
