Python SDK for Trove — managed POSIX filesystem for AI agents

trove-sdk · Python

Python client for Trove — managed POSIX filesystem for AI agents.

Installation

pip install trove-sdk
# or with the CLI:
pip install 'trove-sdk[cli]'
# or
uv add 'trove-sdk[cli]'

Requires Python 3.10+.

CLI

A trove command ships in the [cli] extra. After installing, log in once and then drive your workspace from the terminal:

# One-time setup. The CLI calls /v1/me to discover your workspace_id from
# the key, so you only paste one secret. --namespace is optional.
trove login --api-key trove-sk-... --namespace alice

# Save under a non-default profile name:
trove login --save-as staging --api-key trove-sk-...
trove --profile staging tail        # use it later

# Filesystem (mirrors the SDK)
trove run "ls workspace/"          # POST /v1/exec  (exit code propagates!)
trove run --json "build"           # one JSON line: {exit_code,stdout,stderr,...}
trove ls workspace/                # GET  /v1/files
trove cat workspace/notes.txt      # GET  /v1/files/content
trove put report.pdf workspace/    # PUT  /files/{path}
trove get workspace/img.png        # GET  /files/{path}  (binary-safe)
trove write workspace/n.txt "hi"   # POST /write
trove rm workspace/old.txt         # POST /delete

# Diagnostics: "why is this CLI hitting the wrong tenant?"
trove doctor                       # version, profile, env, live /v1/me ping

# Activity log (the killer dev flow)
trove tail                         # long-poll the event feed
trove tail -t exec.completed -v    # only exec events, full command + first stdout line
trove events list --since 1h30m    # paged replay (compound durations + ISO timestamps OK)

# Multi-tenant key & webhook management (admin scope required)
trove keys list
trove keys create alice --namespace alice
trove keys revoke key-abc123
trove webhooks create https://api.example.com/trove/events
trove webhooks test wh-xyz

# Snapshots
trove snapshot create --label "before refactor"
trove snapshot list
trove snapshot restore snap-abc123

whoami shows the active key's scope and namespace lock so you don't accidentally point a customer-scoped key at someone else's namespace:

$ trove whoami
profile         : default
workspace       : ws-abc123...
scope           : workspace
namespace lock  : alice  (key is scoped — cannot access other namespaces)

Profiles & env vars

• --profile staging switches between saved logins.
• TROVE_API_KEY + TROVE_WORKSPACE_ID (and optional TROVE_NAMESPACE, TROVE_BASE_URL) override the saved profile when no --profile is set.
• Per-command -n/--namespace beats both.

Output

Event timestamps render in your local timezone. Today's events show HH:MM:SS; older events get an MM-DD prefix so the log doesn't look stuck in a single day. --json mode preserves the raw ISO strings for piping into jq or downstream tools.

Usage

Filesystem operations

from trove_sdk import TroveClient

with TroveClient(api_key="trove-sk-...", namespace="alice") as client:
    # Run shell commands
    client.exec("mkdir -p workspace/data")
    output = client.exec("ls workspace/")

    # Structured exec for agent loops — separate stdout/stderr + exit code.
    result = client.exec_detailed("pytest tests/")
    if result.exit_code != 0:
        print("failures on stderr:", result.stderr)

    # Read a text file (1 MB cap; raises on binary).
    notes = client.read_text("workspace/data/notes.txt")

    # Read a binary file (100 MB cap, no encoding).
    png = client.read_bytes("workspace/data/image.png")

    # List a directory.
    for entry in client.list_dir("workspace/data/"):
        print(entry.name, entry.size_bytes)

    # Write a text file
    client.write("workspace/data/notes.txt", "hello world")

    # Upload binary
    with open("image.png", "rb") as f:
        client.upload("workspace/data/image.png", f)

    # Delete
    client.delete("workspace/data/notes.txt")

Async

from trove_sdk import AsyncTroveClient

async with AsyncTroveClient(api_key="trove-sk-...", namespace="alice") as client:
    await client.exec("echo hello")
    await client.write("workspace/hello.txt", "hi")

Key management (multi-tenant)

Use an admin key from the dashboard to mint scoped keys per customer:

from trove_sdk import TroveAdminClient

with TroveAdminClient(api_key="trove-sk-admin-...", workspace_id="ws-...") as admin:
    # Mint a scoped key for a customer
    key = admin.create_key("customer-alice", namespace="alice")
    print(key.api_key)  # store this — shown once

    # List active keys
    keys = admin.list_keys()

    # Revoke
    admin.revoke_key(key.key_id)

Webhooks

Subscribe a URL to filesystem and auth events. Trove signs every delivery with HMAC-SHA256; use verify_webhook to validate the signature in your receiver.

Register an endpoint

from trove_sdk import TroveAdminClient

with TroveAdminClient(api_key="trove-sk-admin-...", workspace_id="ws-...") as admin:
    hook = admin.create_webhook(
        url="https://api.example.com/trove/events",
        events=["file.written", "file.deleted", "exec.completed"],
        # namespace="alice",  # optional — only fire for one customer
    )
    print(hook.signing_secret)  # save this — shown once

Available events: file.written, file.deleted, exec.completed, snapshot.created, snapshot.restored, snapshot.deleted, namespace.deleted, workspace.created, key.created, key.revoked, webhook.test. Pass events=["*"] (or omit) to subscribe to all of them, including future ones.

Receive an event (Flask)

import os
from flask import Flask, request, abort
from trove_sdk import verify_webhook, WebhookSignatureError

app = Flask(__name__)
SECRET = os.environ["TROVE_WEBHOOK_SECRET"]

@app.post("/trove/events")
def receive():
    try:
        event = verify_webhook(
            secret=SECRET,
            body=request.get_data(),  # raw bytes — DO NOT use request.json
            signature_header=request.headers["X-Trove-Signature"],
        )
    except WebhookSignatureError:
        abort(400)
    print(f"{event.type}: {event.data}")
    return "", 204

The body argument MUST be the raw request bytes. Re-serializing JSON (e.g. json.dumps(request.json)) reorders keys and invalidates the HMAC.

A minimal subscribe + verify script lives in examples/webhook.py.

API reference

TroveClient(api_key, namespace, *, base_url?)

Method	Description
exec(command)	Run a shell command. Returns stdout as a string (legacy text response).
exec_detailed(command)	Run a shell command. Returns ExecResult(exit_code, stdout, stderr, duration_ms).
write(path, content)	Write a UTF-8 text file. Returns FileResult.
upload(path, data)	Upload bytes or a file-like object. Returns FileResult.
read_text(path)	Read a UTF-8 text file (1 MB cap). Raises TroveError on binary content.
read_bytes(path)	Download a file's raw bytes (100 MB cap). Binary-safe.
read_file(path)	Read metadata + content. Returns FileContent (encoding field flags binary).
list_dir(path)	List a directory. Returns list[FileInfo].
delete(path)	Delete a file or directory. Returns the deleted path.
create_snapshot(label?)	Tar the namespace and store it. Returns Snapshot.
list_snapshots()	List snapshots newest-first. Returns list[Snapshot].
restore_snapshot(id)	Wipe the namespace and restore. Returns # files restored.
delete_snapshot(id)	Delete a snapshot from S3.

AsyncTroveClient mirrors the same interface with async/await.

TroveAdminClient(api_key, workspace_id, *, base_url?)

Method	Description
create_key(name, *, namespace?)	Mint a new workspace key, optionally scoped to a namespace.
list_keys()	List all active keys for the workspace.
revoke_key(key_id)	Revoke a key immediately.
create_webhook(url, *, events?, namespace?, description?)	Subscribe a URL to events. Returns a WebhookCreated (signing secret shown once).
list_webhooks()	List all registered webhook endpoints.
delete_webhook(webhook_id)	Remove an endpoint.
test_webhook(webhook_id)	Fire a webhook.test event and return the delivery result.

AsyncTroveAdminClient mirrors the same interface with async/await.

verify_webhook(*, secret, body, signature_header, tolerance_seconds=300)

Validates a webhook delivery and returns the parsed WebhookEvent. Raises WebhookSignatureError on bad signature, missing fields, or stale timestamp (default tolerance: 5 minutes). Pass the raw request body — re-serialized JSON will not match the signature.

Errors

All errors raise TroveError(message, status_code). WebhookSignatureError is a subclass raised by verify_webhook.
