semblance-foundry

Unofficial local HTTP simulation of selected Palantir Foundry API v2 ontology-read operations.

This package is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or equivalent to Palantir. It does not implement Foundry's ontology engine, permissions, or compute. It is a test double for client development and CI.

Verified against public API v2 documentation dated 2026-08-18. See compatibility.yaml (also served at /.well-known/foundry-mock-compatibility.json).

Requires semblance 0.8.x or 0.9.x (>=0.8.0,<1.0).

Install

pip install semblance-foundry

From a clone of this repository:

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pip install -e "packages/semblance-foundry[dev]"

Optional official SDK extra (not installed in default CI):

pip install "semblance-foundry[sdk]"
pytest packages/semblance-foundry/tests -m sdk

Pinned SDK: foundry-platform-sdk==1.101.0. Untested SDK versions are not implied compatible.

Quick start (HTTP)

from semblance_foundry import FoundryMock, FoundryMockConfig
from semblance_foundry.testing import foundry_test_client

foundry = FoundryMock(FoundryMockConfig(seed=42, auth="optional"))
foundry.load_bundled_fixture()
client = foundry_test_client(foundry)

r = client.get("/api/v2/ontologies/acme/objects/Employee?pageSize=2")
assert r.status_code == 200

CLI:

semblance-foundry fixture init --output foundry.yaml
semblance-foundry validate foundry.yaml
semblance-foundry operations
semblance-foundry serve --fixture foundry.yaml --port 8765
# or: semblance-foundry serve   # bundled acme fixture

Environment variables for local clients (not Palantir credentials): SEMBLANCE_FOUNDRY_HOST, SEMBLANCE_FOUNDRY_TOKEN.

Auth modes

• disabled — ignore Authorization
• optional (default) — missing token is OK; malformed Bearer values return 401
• strict — token must be in FoundryMockConfig.tokens

Authentication errors never echo the token. This is not an OAuth server and does not validate real Palantir credentials.

Fixtures

YAML/JSON version 1. Extra fields are rejected. Fixtures are data only — no expressions are evaluated. Register query callbacks in Python:

foundry.register_query("employeesByOffice", lambda params, state: {"data": []})

load_bundled_fixture() loads the shipped acme example (one ontology, Employee + Office, worksAt links, renameEmployee action metadata, and employeesByOffice static query result). Use load_fixture(path) for your own files.

Pagination

List endpoints use pageSize / pageToken / nextPageToken. Tokens are opaque and checksummed. Tampering or cross-resource reuse returns InvalidPageToken (400). Default page size 100, max 1000.

Known unsupported (0.1.3)

• Action apply / applyBatch — 501 UnsupportedOperation only when auth=strict; otherwise 404
• Aggregates, object sets, datasets, transactions, orchestration, streams
• Search filters other than eq and and of eq (400 InvalidQuery)

Unknown paths return Foundry-style 404.

Compatibility matrix (MVP)

Security

• Do not put production secrets in fixtures or tokens used with this mock
• Tokens are compared in-process and never written to error bodies
• Query/action behavior must be allow-listed Python, never YAML eval
