Python SDK for Wytness — audit logging for AI agents with cryptographic signing and chain integrity

Wytness Python SDK

Audit logging for AI agents. Every action your AI agent takes is cryptographically signed, hash-chained, and streamed to the Wytness platform for compliance and observability.

Installation

pip install wytness-sdk

Quick Start

from wytness import AuditClient, audit_tool

# Initialize the client
client = AuditClient(
    agent_id="my-agent",
    human_operator_id="user-123",
)

# Decorate any tool your agent calls
@audit_tool(client=client)
def send_email(to: str, subject: str, body: str):
    # Your tool implementation
    pass

# Every call is automatically logged, signed, and chained
send_email(to="[e-mail]", subject="Report", body="Weekly summary")

Features

• Response capture — AI agent responses are automatically captured, truncated to 5K chars, and PII-redacted
• PII redaction — emails, SSN, TFN, credit cards, and phone numbers are automatically redacted from responses and parameter values
• Cryptographic signing — every event is signed with Ed25519
• Hash chaining — tamper-evident chain of events per agent session
• Automatic secret redaction — secrets in parameter names are automatically redacted
• HTTP transport — stream events to api.wytness.dev over HTTPS
• File fallback — events are saved locally if the API is unreachable

HTTP Emitter (Recommended)

Send events directly to the Wytness API using your API key:

client = AuditClient(
    agent_id="my-agent",
    human_operator_id="user-123",
    http_endpoint="https://api.wytness.dev",
    http_api_key="aa_live_...",
)

API

AuditClient(agent_id, **kwargs)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
agent_id	str	required	Unique identifier for the agent
agent_version	str	"0.1.0"	Version of the agent
human_operator_id	str	"unknown"	ID of the human overseeing the agent
signing_key	str|None	None	Base64-encoded Ed25519 private key (for serverless)
signing_key_path	str	"./keys/signing.key"	Path to Ed25519 private key (auto-generated if missing). Ignored when signing_key is set.
http_api_key	str|None	None	API key for HTTP endpoint
http_endpoint	str	"https://api.wytness.dev"	HTTP API endpoint URL
fallback_log_path	str	"./audit_fallback.jsonl"	Local fallback file path

@audit_tool(client, task_id="default")

Decorator that wraps a function to automatically log audit events. Works with both sync and async functions. Captures:

• Function name, parameters (with secret redaction), and return value hash
• Response text (truncated to 5K chars, PII-redacted) — the function's return value as a string
• Execution duration, success/failure status, and error codes
• Cryptographic signature and hash chain link

client.session_id

Read-only property returning the UUID for this client instance.

client.flush(timeout=5.0)

Wait for pending HTTP requests to complete. Call before process exit in serverless/short-lived environments.

hash_value(value)

SHA-256 hash of any JSON-serialisable value. Use this when recording events manually to compute inputs_hash / outputs_hash.

from wytness import hash_value

result = my_tool(data)
outputs_hash = hash_value(result)
