pyfsr 0.4.1

Python implementation of the FortiSOAR REST API

pyfsr

Documentation · Installation · Quick start · AI / agents

pyfsr is a batteries-included Python client for the FortiSOAR REST API. It gives you a typed query/CRUD layer over any module, picklist resolution, connector execution, playbook-run history, safe deletes — and a ready-made AI/agent surface (tool-schema registry + an optional MCP server) so an agent can drive FortiSOAR with no glue code.

Python 3.10+ · Pydantic v2 · MIT.

Installation

pip install pyfsr
# with the optional generic MCP server:
pip install 'pyfsr[mcp]'

Quick start

from pyfsr import FortiSOAR, Query

# API-key auth, or ("username", "password")
client = FortiSOAR("soar.example.com", "your-api-key")

# Generic, typed CRUD for ANY module via client.records(module)
incidents = client.records("incidents")

inc = incidents.get("0d2c...")          # by uuid, "module:uuid", or full IRI
inc["name"], inc.uuid                    # records are dict- AND attribute-accessible

# Structured queries with a fluent builder -> a HydraPage you can iterate
page = incidents.query(
    Query().eq("status.itemValue", "Open").like("name", "phish").limit(50)
)
for inc in incidents.iterate(Query().eq("status.itemValue", "Open")):
    ...                                  # lazily walks every page

# Create / update / delete (soft by default; hard= for permanent)
new = incidents.create({"name": "Suspicious login", "severity": "High"},
                       resolve_picklists=True)   # friendly values -> IRIs
incidents.update(new.uuid, {"status": "Closed"}, resolve_picklists=True)
incidents.delete(new.uuid)               # delete(..., hard=True) to purge

Configure from the environment

from pyfsr import EnvConfig

# reads FSR_BASE_URL (+ FSR_API_KEY or FSR_USERNAME/FSR_PASSWORD),
# FSR_PORT, FSR_VERIFY_SSL, FSR_TIMEOUT
client = EnvConfig.from_env().client()

Features

• Generic record access — client.records(module) for CRUD on any module; no hand-built /api/3/... URLs or Hydra unwrapping.
• Query DSL — Query().eq(...).in_(...).group(...).sort(...).limit(...), compiled to the FortiSOAR query-body shape (pagination handled for you).
• Typed models — Alert/Incident/Task/Comment come back as Pydantic v2 models that are also dict-compatible; unknown modules fall back to a lenient BaseRecord, so custom fields/modules never break.
• Picklists — client.picklists resolves friendly values ("High") to IRIs and discovers which picklist a (module, field) binds to.
• Connectors — client.connectors lists configured connectors, runs healthchecks, and executes operations.
• Playbooks — client.playbooks merges live + historical run history and resumes manual-input steps.
• Safe deletes — soft-delete/restore + guarded single-row hard delete.
• Schema discovery — client.list_modules() / client.describe_module().
• Resilient transport — configurable timeout=, automatic retry with backoff on idempotent requests (429/5xx), and secrets masked in verbose logs.
• Bundled OpenAPI spec — pyfsr.spec.load_spec() for offline reference and drift(client) to compare the spec against a live appliance.

AI / agent-friendly

pyfsr ships a transport-neutral tool registry for the core operations, with token-efficient results and structured (never-raised) errors — feed it to Anthropic tool-use, OpenAI function calling, your own agent loop, or the bundled MCP server.

from pyfsr.tools import to_anthropic_tools, to_openai_tools, dispatch

tools = to_anthropic_tools()             # or to_openai_tools(), or tool_schemas()

# ... your model picks a tool ...
result = dispatch(client, "search_records",
                  {"module": "alerts", "summary": True, "limit": 10})
# result is JSON-safe and trimmed; failures come back as {"error": {...}}

Reads accept summary=True or fields=[...] to keep payloads small:

client.records("alerts").query(Query().limit(20), summary=True)

Generic MCP server

Point any MCP-capable agent at any FortiSOAR with one command:

pip install 'pyfsr[mcp]'
FSR_BASE_URL=soar.example.com FSR_API_KEY=... python -m pyfsr.mcp

It exposes the same registry (record CRUD, schema discovery, picklists, connectors, playbook runs) as MCP tools — generic and dependency-light, distinct from any domain-specific FortiSOAR MCP.

Development

uv sync --extra dev
uv run pytest -q                 # unit tests (live tests deselected by default)
uvx ruff check src tests

Live integration tests run with pytest -m integration and need an examples/config.toml pointing at a FortiSOAR instance.
