OAuth 2.0 Token Introspection service for Swarmauri

---

swarmauri_tokens_introspection

An OAuth 2.0 token introspection service plugin implementing RFC 7662 for verifying opaque access tokens.

Features

• Asynchronous token verification against a remote introspection endpoint using httpx
• Supports client_secret_basic, client_secret_post, and bearer authentication schemes
• Caches positive and negative introspection results with configurable TTLs and expiry-aware caching
• Validates standard claims (exp, nbf, iat) with optional issuer and audience enforcement
• Optional JWKS passthrough for issuers that also publish signing keys via jwks_url
• Strictly verification-only: mint() raises NotImplementedError because opaque tokens are produced by the authorization server

Installation

Choose the toolchain that matches your project:

pip install swarmauri_tokens_introspection

poetry add swarmauri_tokens_introspection

uv add swarmauri_tokens_introspection

The package exposes an async API, so ensure your environment includes an event loop (e.g., asyncio) when calling it.

Usage

The example below demonstrates how to exercise the service with a mocked introspection endpoint. The same API works against a live OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server—simply omit the mock transport and let httpx reach your configured endpoint.

"""Execute the README example with `python README_example.py`."""

import asyncio

import httpx

from swarmauri_tokens_introspection import IntrospectionTokenService


async def main() -> None:
    async def handler(request: httpx.Request) -> httpx.Response:
        assert request.method == "POST"
        assert request.url == httpx.URL("https://auth.example.com/introspect")
        assert request.headers["Authorization"].startswith("Basic ")
        form = dict(httpx.QueryParams(request.content.decode()))
        assert form["token"] == "opaque-token"
        return httpx.Response(
            200,
            json={
                "active": True,
                "sub": "user-123",
                "scope": "profile email",
                "exp": 2_147_483_647,
            },
        )

    transport = httpx.MockTransport(handler)

    service = IntrospectionTokenService(
        "https://auth.example.com/introspect",
        client_id="id",
        client_secret="secret",
        cache_ttl_s=300,
    )

    # Inject the mock transport; in production you would not override the client.
    service._client = httpx.AsyncClient(transport=transport)

    claims = await service.verify("opaque-token")
    print(claims["sub"])  # user-123

    await service.aclose()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Caching and validation highlights

• Positive responses respect both cache_ttl_s and the exp claim (including the configured leeway).
• Negative introspection results are cached for negative_ttl_s seconds to shield your AS from repeated invalid requests.
• Local validation enforces exp, nbf, and iat drift using leeway_s, and supports issuer/audience pinning.
• Configuring jwks_url enables jwks() passthrough for deployments that expose signing keys alongside introspection.
