langchain-collar

LangChain tools for Collar Guardrail — deterministic pre-trade risk checks for AI trading agents on Robinhood Chain.

PyPI version PyPI downloads Python versions License: MIT


What is this?

This package wraps the Collar Guardrail MCP server as native LangChain tools. Any LangChain agent can evaluate proposed trades against a deterministic risk policy before executing them — with allow / warn / deny verdicts, a 0–100 risk score, and a tamper-evident SHA-256 audit hash.

If you're building a trading agent that needs to respect rate limits, tier ceilings, honeypot checks, or market-hours rules, these tools enforce those constraints outside your agent's own runtime.


Installation

pip install langchain-collar

Requires Python 3.10+ and langchain-core>=0.3.0.


Quick Start

Add tools to a LangChain agent

from langchain_collar import get_tools
from langchain.agents import create_agent

tools = get_tools()
agent = create_agent("gpt-4o", tools)

result = agent.invoke({
    "messages": [{
        "role": "user",
        "content": (
            "Before executing a 10 NVDA buy from wallet "
            "0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678, "
            "run a pre-trade risk check."
        ),
    }]
})
print(result)

Or call a tool directly

from langchain_collar import evaluate_trade

verdict = evaluate_trade.invoke({
    "wallet": "0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678",
    "asset": "NVDA",
    "contract_address": "0x<official_registry_address>",
    "side": "buy",
    "amount": 10.0,
})
print(verdict)

Available Tools

Tool Description
evaluate_trade Call before every trade. Returns allow / warn / deny, reasons, risk score, and audit hash. Treat deny as a hard stop. Honeypot findings (severity=danger) from check_token_safety automatically force a deny regardless of other checks.
check_token_safety Honeypot / contract safety check for any ERC-20 token. Returns severity (safe / warn / danger) plus a sell-simulation result. When severity=danger, the next evaluate_trade for the same contract is auto-denied.
simulate_balance Read-only simulation of a wallet's ERC-20 balance after a hypothetical trade. No transaction is sent.
get_supported_assets The official Robinhood Chain asset registry. Resolve a symbol to its canonical contract address before calling evaluate_trade.
verify_audit_trail Recomputes every past decision's SHA-256 hash and verifies the hash-chain links. Returns healthy=true only if nothing was tampered with.

How It Works

Each tool is a thin wrapper around the Collar Guardrail MCP server at:

https://api.collarguardrail.com/mcp-http/mcp

The MCP transport is Streamable HTTP (protocol version 2025-06-18). No API key is required for the MCP endpoint — every call is evaluated at a fixed Tier 1 ceiling ($5,000 notional).

For higher limits ($25K / $100K), use the REST API with wallet-signature authentication. See the Collar agent docs.


Decision Semantics

Decision Meaning Action
allow Policy passed. Safe to execute.
warn Policy soft-violated. Trade may proceed but is flagged. Reasons prefixed with ADVISORY: are non-blocking.
deny Policy hard-violated. Do not execute. Reasons are blocking. Honeypot findings (severity=danger) always produce a deny.

Safety rule: If a verdict contains an error key, no verdict was produced. Treat it as a hard stop. If decision == "deny", do not execute the trade.


Example: Full Pre-Trade Flow

import json

from langchain_collar import (
    evaluate_trade,
    get_supported_assets,
    check_token_safety,
)

# 1. Resolve the symbol to its canonical contract address
assets = get_supported_assets.invoke({})
print(assets)  # → list of {symbol, contract_address, is_native}

# 2. Check the token for honeypot risk BEFORE evaluating the trade
safety = json.loads(check_token_safety.invoke({
    "contract_address": "0x<token_address>",
}))
if safety.get("severity") == "danger":
    raise RuntimeError(
        f"Token is flagged as dangerous: {safety.get('risk_factors')}"
    )

# 3. Run the pre-trade risk check
verdict = evaluate_trade.invoke({
    "wallet": "0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678",
    "asset": "NVDA",
    "contract_address": "0x<official_registry_address>",
    "side": "buy",
    "amount": 10.0,
    "max_slippage_bps": 100,
})

if '"decision": "deny"' in verdict:
    raise RuntimeError("Trade denied by Collar Guardrail")

# Proceed with the trade only if the verdict is allow or warn

Paid Tier (x402)

For high-volume agent traffic, Collar exposes an x402 payment endpoint at POST /api/x402/analyze$0.01 USDG per call on Robinhood Chain, no signup required. See the x402 discovery document.


Configuration

The package talks to the public Collar MCP endpoint by default. To self-host Collar, override the base URL:

import langchain_collar.tools as tools

tools._BASE_URL = "https://your-colar-instance.example.com"
tools._MCP_ENDPOINT = f"{tools._BASE_URL}/mcp-http/mcp"
