Imandra CLI and API client library

Imandra is a cloud-native automated reasoning engine for analysis of algorithms and data.

This package contains the imandra Python library for interacting with Imandra's web APIs. It includes:

• imandra.core, which provides programmatic access to Imandra X, Imandra's core reasoning engine.
• imandra.u.reasoners.*, bindings to Imandra Universe Reasoners.
• imandra.ipl, tools for analysing Imandra Protocol Language (IPL) files.

If you're interested in developing Imandra X or IPL models, you may also want to see the Imandra documentation.

The imandra python API reference documentation is available here.

Authentication

First obtain an API key from https://universe.imandra.ai.

The Python library will read the API key from the first of:

1. The api_key parameter passed when instantiating a Client.
2. The IMANDRA_API_KEY environment variable.
3. The file $HOME/.config/imandra/api_key (MacOS and Linux) or %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\imandra\api_key (Windows)

Example: Imandra Core

First, ensure dependencies for the core module are installed. Note that imandra.core requires Python >= 3.12.

$ pip install 'imandra[core]'

$ ipython
...
In [1]: from imandra.core import Client

In [2]: client = Client()

In [3]: client.eval_src('let f x = if x > 0 then if x * x < 0 then x else x + 1 else x')
Out[3]: success: true

In [4]: result = client.verify_src('fun x -> x > 0 ==> f x > 0')

In [5]: result
Out[5]:
proved {
  proof_pp: "..."
}

In [6]: print(result.proved.proof_pp)
{ id = 1; concl = `|- x > 0 ==> f x > 0`;
  view =
  T_deduction {
    premises =
    [("p",
      [{ id = 0; concl = `|- x > 0 ==> f x > 0`;
         view = T_deduction {premises = []} }
        ])
      ]}
  }

In [7]: result = client.instance_src('fun x -> f x = 43')

In [8]: result
Out[8]:
sat {
  model {
    m_type: Instance
    src: "module M = struct\n\n  let x = 42\n\n end\n"
    artifact {
      kind: "cir.model"
      data: "..."
      api_version: "v8"
    }
  }
}

In [9]: print(result.sat.model.src)
module M = struct

  let x = 42

 end

In [10]: result = client.decompose('f')

In [11]: result
Out[11]:
artifact {
  kind: "cir.fun_decomp"
  data: "..."
  api_version: "v8"
}
regions_str {
  constraints_str: "not (x > 0)"
  invariant_str: "x"
  model_str {
    k: "x"
    v: "0"
  }
}
regions_str {
  constraints_str: "not (x * x < 0)"
  constraints_str: "x > 0"
  invariant_str: "x + 1"
  model_str {
    k: "x"
    v: "1"
  }
}
task {
  id {
    id: "task:decomp:rE3VSX-t5kbrrAksQ4saBrMUs2uHTXfu-CqeZunV9aE="
  }

}

Example: Imandra Universe reasoners

$ pip install imandra

$ ipython

In [1]: from imandra.u.reasoners.prover9 import Client

In [2]: client = Client()

In [3]: input = "formulas(sos).\n\n  e * x = x.\n  x'\'' * x = e.\n  (x * y) * z = x * (y * z).\n\n  x * x = e.\n\nend_of_list.\n\nformulas(goals).\n\n  x * y = y * x.\n\nend_of_list ...: ."

In [4]: result = client.eval(input)

In [5]: print(result['results'][0])

THEOREM PROVED

Example: IPL

$ pip install imandra

$ ipython

In [1]: from imandra.ipl import Client

In [2]: client = Client()

In [3]: job_id = client.unsat_analysis('/path/to/model.ipl')

In [4]: client.status(job_id)
Out[4]: 'processing'

In [5]: client.wait(job_id)
Out[5]: 'done'

In [6]: data = client.data(job_id)

In [7]: print(data['content'].decode('ascii'))
For message flow `simple_orders_one`, unsat cores: []

CLI

The imandra package also adds an entry point called imandra-cli which exposes the imandra library functionality in a more discoverable way:

$ python3 -m venv ./my/venv
...
$ ./my/venv/pip install imandra
...
$ ./my/venv/bin/imandra-cli --help
usage: imandra [-h] auth,ipl,core,rule-synth,cfb ...

Imandra CLI

positional arguments:
  {auth,ipl,core,rule-synth,cfb}

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

On Windows, the entry point can be found as .\my\venv\Scripts\imandra-cli.exe.

CLI Authentication

This is the first step to start using the Imandra CLI. Our cloud environment requires a user account, which you can setup like this:

$ ./my/venv/bin/imandra-cli auth login

and follow the prompts to authenticate. This will create the relevant credentials in ~/.imandra (or %APPDATA%\imandra on Windows).

You should now be able to invoke CLI commands that require authentication.
