CIRISVerify Python Bindings
Python bindings for CIRISVerify, the hardware-rooted license verification module for the CIRIS ecosystem.
Installation
pip install ciris-verify
Note: The CIRISVerify binary must be installed separately. See the CIRISVerify documentation for installation instructions.
Quick Start
import os
from ciris_verify import CIRISVerify, LicenseStatus
# Initialize the verifier
verifier = CIRISVerify()
# Get license status with a fresh nonce
status = await verifier.get_license_status(
challenge_nonce=os.urandom(32)
)
# Check if professional capabilities are available
if status.allows_licensed_operation():
print("Professional license verified!")
print(f"Tier: {status.license.tier}")
print(f"Capabilities: {status.license.capabilities}")
else:
print("Running in community mode")
# IMPORTANT: Always display the mandatory disclosure
print(status.mandatory_disclosure.text)
Mandatory Disclosure
Per the CIRIS ecosystem rules, agents MUST display the mandatory_disclosure.text to users. This ensures transparency about the agent's capabilities and licensing status.
# The disclosure MUST be shown to users
disclosure = status.mandatory_disclosure
print(f"[{disclosure.severity.upper()}] {disclosure.text}")
Capability Checking
For frequent capability checks, use the fast path:
result = await verifier.check_capability("medical:diagnosis")
if result.allowed:
# Capability is available
pass
else:
print(f"Capability denied: {result.reason}")
Testing
For testing without the actual binary, use MockCIRISVerify:
from ciris_verify import MockCIRISVerify, LicenseStatus
# Create a mock that returns community mode
verifier = MockCIRISVerify(
mock_status=LicenseStatus.UNLICENSED_COMMUNITY
)
# Use exactly like the real client
status = await verifier.get_license_status(os.urandom(32))
assert status.status == LicenseStatus.UNLICENSED_COMMUNITY
Error Handling
from ciris_verify import (
CIRISVerifyError,
BinaryNotFoundError,
BinaryTamperedError,
VerificationFailedError,
)
try:
verifier = CIRISVerify()
status = await verifier.get_license_status(os.urandom(32))
except BinaryNotFoundError as e:
# Binary not installed
print(f"CIRISVerify not found: {e.path}")
except BinaryTamperedError:
# CRITICAL: Binary has been modified
# Halt all operations immediately
raise SystemExit("SECURITY ALERT: Binary integrity compromised")
except VerificationFailedError as e:
# Verification failed - operate in restricted mode
print(f"Verification failed: {e}")
License Status Codes
| Status | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
LICENSED_PROFESSIONAL |
100 | Full professional license active |
LICENSED_PROFESSIONAL_GRACE |
101 | License valid, in offline grace period |

ERROR_* |
400-499 | Error states (revoked, expired, etc.) |
LOCKDOWN_* |
500+ | Critical security failure, halt operations |
Thread Safety
The client is thread-safe and can be used from multiple threads or async tasks concurrently.
