tappass — Zero Trust Control Plane for Agentic AI (Python SDK)
Runtime governance for your LLM, agent, and tool calls. Embed in your code, get a typed audit trail, surface governance decisions as Python exceptions.
What this SDK is for:
- Governing LLM calls, agent runs, and tool executions at runtime.
- Emitting structured audit events with correlation IDs.
- Handling governance decisions (block, redact, approve, trust-tier, break-glass) as typed exceptions in your code.
What this SDK is NOT for:
- Policy CRUD, compliance report generation, Verified credential issuance, retention config, break-glass invocation, tool-integrity approval. Those live in the TapPass dashboard — not in your agent code.
Requirements
- Python ≥ 3.11.
tappassserver ≥ 0.6.0. (The SDK rejects older servers at construction time.)
Install
pip install tappass
Quickstart — a governed chat call
from tappass import Agent
agent = Agent("https://tappass.example.com", api_key="tp_...")
r = agent.chat("Summarize Q4 revenue")
print(r.content)
print(r.session_id, r.audit_url) # correlation IDs, deep link to dashboard
Quickstart — govern a CrewAI run
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from tappass.integrations.crewai import guard_crew
crew = Crew(agents=[...], tasks=[...])
with guard_crew(crew, tappass_url="https://tappass.example.com", api_key="tp_...") as session:
result = session.kickoff()
print(session.id, session.audit_url)
Telemetry kill-switch
The SDK delivers audit events to your TapPass server asynchronously via a background reporter. To disable that delivery entirely, set either of:
export TAPPASS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1
export DO_NOT_TRACK=1 # community convention — consoledonottrack.com
This only suppresses audit-event delivery. It does not disable
governance — govern() calls still run, decisions are still enforced,
blocks still raise GovernanceBlocked. The distinction is deliberate:
governance is the product you're paying for; telemetry is observability
of your own usage.
Decisions are typed exceptions
from tappass import GovernanceDecision, PolicyBlockError, ApprovalRequired
try:
r = agent.chat("Show me all customer SSNs")
except PolicyBlockError as e:
print(f"Blocked by {e.blocked_by}: {e.reason}. See {e.audit_url}")
except ApprovalRequired as e:
print(f"Awaiting approval: {e.approval_url}")
except GovernanceDecision as e:
print(f"Governance decision: {e}")
What's new in 0.6
See CHANGELOG.md. Breaking changes — no back-compat with 0.5.x. See the migration guide.
Publishing a release
Releases ship to PyPI via GitHub Actions using OIDC Trusted Publishing — no long-lived API token is stored anywhere. The workflow is .github/workflows/release.yml.
One-time PyPI configuration
Only needed once per project (or whenever the workflow name / environment changes):
- Log in to https://pypi.org/manage/account/publishing/.
- Under Add a new pending publisher (if the project isn't on PyPI yet) or the existing project's Publishing tab, add a GitHub publisher with:
- PyPI Project Name:
tappass - Owner:
tappass - Repository name:
tappass-sdk - Workflow name:
release.yml - Environment name:
pypi
- PyPI Project Name:
- In the GitHub repo, go to Settings → Environments and create an environment named
pypi. Optionally add a required-reviewers protection rule so a human approves each release.
That's it — no secrets, no tokens.
Cutting a release
- Bump
versioninpyproject.toml(and__version__intappass/__init__.py). - Update
CHANGELOG.md: flip## [X.Y.Z] — Unreleasedto## [X.Y.Z] — YYYY-MM-DD. - Commit:
git commit -am "release: X.Y.Z". - Tag and push:
git tag vX.Y.Z git push origin main --tags
The workflow then:
- Verifies the tag matches
pyproject.tomlversion (fails the release if not). - Builds wheel + sdist.
- Runs
twine check. - Publishes to PyPI via OIDC.
- Creates a GitHub Release with the wheel + sdist attached and auto-generated notes.
Dry run
To build the artifacts without publishing, use Actions → Release to PyPI → Run workflow with dry_run checked. The publish and github_release jobs are skipped; the build job's artifacts are retained for inspection.
