PromptSentry Python SDK — prompt injection firewall for AI agents

promptsentry-sdk

Python SDK for PromptSentry — prompt injection firewall for AI agents.

Scan every prompt before it reaches your model, every response before it reaches your user, and every tool call before your agent executes it.

Install

pip install promptsentry-sdk

Quickstart — 5 lines

Set your API key (get one at promptsentry.net):

export PROMPTSENTRY_URL=https://api.promptsentry.net
export PROMPTSENTRY_API_KEY=ps_yourkey

from promptsentry_sdk import protect

@protect
async def chat(prompt: str) -> str:
    return await my_model.generate(prompt)

Done. Malicious prompts are blocked before my_model.generate is ever called.

Explicit client

import asyncio
from promptsentry_sdk import PromptSentryClient

async def main():
    async with PromptSentryClient("https://api.promptsentry.net", api_key="ps_yourkey") as client:
        result = await client.scan("Ignore all previous instructions")
        print(result.verdict)       # malicious
        print(result.is_malicious)  # True
        print(result.action_taken)  # blocked

asyncio.run(main())

Protect tool calls

from promptsentry_sdk import protected_tool

@protected_tool
async def run_bash(command: str) -> str:
    return subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True).stdout.decode()

Arguments are scanned before execution. If a prompt injection in the command would hijack run_bash, it's caught here.

Operating modes

Mode	Behavior
active (default)	Malicious prompts raise BlockedError
monitor	Scans are logged but execution continues

@protect(mode="monitor")
async def chat(prompt: str) -> str: ...

Transport

Auto-detects REST (HTTP) or MCP (stdio) based on environment:

• PROMPTSENTRY_URL — REST endpoint (SaaS or self-hosted)
• PROMPTSENTRY_API_KEY — API key for REST auth
• PROMPTSENTRY_MCP_COMMAND — MCP subprocess command (local / air-gapped)

Or pass TransportConfig explicitly:

from promptsentry_sdk.transport import TransportConfig

config = TransportConfig(url="http://localhost:8000", api_key="ps_dev")

@protect(config=config)
async def chat(prompt: str) -> str: ...

Session provenance (v1.3+)

Track multi-turn agent sessions and detect indirect prompt injection across conversation turns:

from promptsentry_sdk import PromptSentryClient
from promptsentry_sdk.session import Session

async with PromptSentryClient("https://api.promptsentry.net", api_key="ps_yourkey") as client:
    async with Session(client, auto_cleanup=True) as session:
        result = await session.scan_prompt("What files can you access?")

Self-hosted / BYOM

Point the SDK at any OpenAI-compatible or Google AI endpoint:

export PROMPTSENTRY_URL=http://localhost:8000   # self-hosted PromptSentry
export PROMPTSENTRY_API_KEY=ps_localdev
