DASC-Core

DASC (Deterministic Agentic Safety Controller) is an open-source middleware designed to intercept outputs from AI orchestration frameworks (like LangGraph, AutoGen, and CrewAI) and enforce deterministic safety checks before actions are committed.

The Paradigm: Cognitive Fault vs. Committed Fault

DASC operates on the principle that AI agents will fail. These are Cognitive Faults (hallucinations, logic errors). Our goal is to prevent these from becoming Committed Faults (actual state changes). DASC provides the deterministic boundary where these faults are intercepted.

Installation

pip install dasc-core

Features

• LangChain/LangGraph Integration: Use DASCCommitTool to wrap agent actions.
• AutoGen Support: Use DASCGatekeeper to intercept and validate function calls.
• Semantic OCC (Hashing): Use hash:<sha256> in version vectors for automatic file content verification.
• Structured Observability: Built-in logging with detailed evaluation stages.
• Programmable Rejections: Custom exceptions (OCCConflictError, etc.) for robust error handling.
• Bitemporal SQLite Ledger: Persistent audit log of every decision.

Quick Start

Using the Kernel with Exceptions

from dasc.kernel import Kernel
from dasc.exceptions import OCCConflictError

kernel = Kernel()

try:
    kernel.evaluate(intent, raise_on_failure=True)
except OCCConflictError:
    # Trigger agent retry or state refresh logic
    pass

Using Semantic OCC (Hashing)

from dasc.utils import calculate_file_hash

file_hash = calculate_file_hash("data.json")
intent = Intent(
    ...,
    state_version_vector={"data.json": f"hash:{file_hash}"}
)

DASC CLI

The project includes a command-line tool for inspecting the ledger and generating hashes:

# View the last 10 decisions
dasc inspect

# Generate a hash for a file for OCC
dasc hash my_data.csv

# Verify a JSON intent manually
dasc verify intent.json --state '{"my_data.csv": "v1.0"}'
