dna-client 0.40.1

DNA — Official Python client for the DNA REST read-API (spec-parity twin of the TypeScript dna-client)

dna-client (Python)

The official Python client for the DNA REST API (dna api serve). Spec-parity twin of the TypeScript dna-client: both cover the same surface, derived from the same OpenAPI document (docs/openapi.json, dumped from the FastAPI app) — so consumers stop hand-rolling HTTP.

• Typed inputs, httpx-based, sync, context-manageable.
• Complete — a named method for EVERY operation in the spec, reads and writes alike. client.request(...) remains as a low-level escape hatch, but no route depends on it.
• Guarded — a drift test re-dumps the live schema and fails CI if the committed spec is stale, and fails if any operation (of any HTTP method) has no named method. Adding a write route cannot pass silently.

Install

pip install dna-client        # or: uv add dna-client

Only runtime dep is httpx. Python >= 3.12.

Usage

from dna_client import DnaClient

with DnaClient(
    "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
    token="…",                 # optional — for --auth token/config
    scope="dna-development",    # optional default applied to every call
) as dna:
    agents = dna.list_agents()
    prompt = dna.agent_prompt("jarvis")
    hits = dna.search_memories("tenancy invariant", k=3)
    board = dna.get_board("dna-development", recent=6)

    # Writes are named methods too — no escape hatch needed.
    dna.remember_memory("a lesson worth keeping", area="ops")
    dna.delete_memory("s-foo")
    dna.set_insight_state("i-42", "actioned")

    # Workspace routes are identity-scoped: the boundary comes from the caller's
    # verified claims, so they never take the client's default scope/tenant.
    ws = dna.create_workspace("Acme")           # id is minted server-side
    dna.create_invite(ws["workspace_id"], "[e-mail]", role="member")

Routes with security semantics say so in their docstring — e.g. create_project() is 403 without an active workspace membership, and revoke_workspace_member() is 409 on the last remaining owner.

A non-2xx response raises DnaApiError (carrying .status and the API's {"detail": ...} payload).

Note on return types

Every DNA REST handler returns an untyped JSON object (dict[str, Any]), so the OpenAPI response schemas are opaque. Request inputs (query/path params) are typed; response bodies are dict[str, Any]. Tighten the API's response models to tighten these.

Parity

This client and the TypeScript twin are generated from the SAME docs/openapi.json — spec-parity, not byte-parity. See Using the DNA client.
