SealVera Python SDK

Tamper-evident audit trails for AI agents — compliance-ready in minutes.

SealVera gives every AI decision a cryptographically-sealed, immutable audit log — so you can prove what your agent decided, why it decided it, and that the record hasn't been touched. Built for teams shipping AI in finance, healthcare, legal, and any regulated industry that needs to answer to auditors, regulators, or customers.

EU AI Act · SOC 2 · HIPAA · GDPR · ISO 42001 — SealVera logs are designed to satisfy the explainability and auditability requirements of major AI compliance frameworks.

Why SealVera?

• 🔒 Tamper-evident logs — every decision is cryptographically hashed and chained; any tampering is detectable
• ⚡ 2-line integration — works as a decorator, callback, or context manager
• 🧠 Explainability built-in — captures inputs, outputs, reasoning, confidence scores, and model used
• 📊 Real-time dashboard — search, filter, and export your full AI decision history at app.sealvera.com
• 🚨 Drift detection — get alerted when agent behaviour deviates from its baseline
• 🌐 Works with any LLM — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Ollama, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, and more
• 🪶 Zero hard dependencies — stdlib only, no bloat, no vendor lock-in

Installation

pip install sealvera

Quick Start

from sealvera import init, log

# Initialize once (e.g. in your app entry point)
init(
    endpoint="https://app.sealvera.com",
    api_key="sv_your_api_key_here",
    agent="payment-agent"
)

# Log a decision
log(
    action="approve_payment",
    decision="APPROVED",
    input={"amount": 5000, "currency": "USD", "customer_id": "c_123"},
    output={"approved": True, "reason": "Low risk score, verified merchant"},
    reasoning=[
        {"factor": "risk_score", "value": "0.12", "signal": "safe", "explanation": "Below 0.3 threshold"},
        {"factor": "merchant", "value": "verified", "signal": "safe", "explanation": "KYC passed"}
    ]
)
# ✅ Decision logged, hashed, and stored in your tamper-evident audit trail

LangChain Integration

The easiest way to audit LangChain agents — drop in the callback handler:

from sealvera import init
from sealvera.callbacks import SealVeraCallbackHandler
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage

init(endpoint="https://app.sealvera.com", api_key="sv_your_key", agent="langchain-agent")

model = ChatOpenAI(
    model="gpt-4o",
    callbacks=[SealVeraCallbackHandler(agent="langchain-agent")]
)

response = model.invoke([HumanMessage(content="Should I approve this loan application?")])
# ✅ Full chain logged — every LLM call, tool invocation, and final answer

---

Decorator Usage

Wrap any agent function with a single decorator:

from sealvera import init, trace

init(endpoint="https://app.sealvera.com", api_key="sv_your_key")

@trace(agent="fraud-detector", action="evaluate_transaction")
def evaluate_transaction(transaction: dict) -> dict:
    # Your agent logic here — LLM call, rules engine, ML model, anything
    risk_score = run_fraud_model(transaction)
    decision = "FLAGGED" if risk_score > 0.8 else "APPROVED"
    return {"decision": decision, "risk_score": risk_score, "reason": "..."}

result = evaluate_transaction({"amount": 9800, "merchant": "Unknown Corp"})
# ✅ Input, output, decision, and timing logged automatically

---

Context Manager

from sealvera import init, SealVeraClient

init(endpoint="https://app.sealvera.com", api_key="sv_your_key")
client = SealVeraClient()

with client.trace(agent="underwriting-agent", action="evaluate_loan") as ctx:
    ctx.set_input(application)
    result = run_underwriting_model(application)
    ctx.set_output(result)
    ctx.set_decision(result["decision"])
# ✅ Logged on context exit, even if an exception occurs

---

Autoload (Zero-Code Integration)

Add SealVera to any Python app without modifying source code:

python -m sealvera.autoload your_app.py

Or set via environment variables and import at the top of your entry point:

import sealvera.autoload  # patches LLM clients automatically

SEALVERA_ENDPOINT=https://app.sealvera.com
SEALVERA_API_KEY=sv_your_key_here
SEALVERA_AGENT=my-agent

---

Async Support

Full async/await support for FastAPI, async LangChain, and any async agent framework:

from sealvera import init, log_async

init(endpoint="https://app.sealvera.com", api_key="sv_your_key")

async def process_claim(claim: dict) -> dict:
    result = await run_claims_model(claim)
    await log_async(
        action="evaluate_claim",
        decision=result["decision"],
        input=claim,
        output=result,
        reasoning=result.get("reasoning", [])
    )
    return result
