acuvity

Developer-friendly & type-safe Python SDK specifically catered to leverage the Acuvity APIs - in particularly the Apex API.

Summary

Apex API: Acuvity Apex provides access to scan and detection APIs

SDK Installation

Note

Python version upgrade policy

Once a Python version reaches its official end of life date, a 3-month grace period is provided for users to upgrade. Following this grace period, the minimum python version supported in the SDK will be updated.

The SDK can be installed with either pip or poetry package managers.

PIP

PIP is the default package installer for Python, enabling easy installation and management of packages from PyPI via the command line.

pip install acuvity

Poetry

Poetry is a modern tool that simplifies dependency management and package publishing by using a single pyproject.toml file to handle project metadata and dependencies.

poetry add acuvity

Shell and script usage with `uv`

You can use this SDK in a Python shell with uv and the uvx command that comes with it like so:

uvx --from acuvity python

It's also possible to write a standalone Python script without needing to set up a whole project like so:

#!/usr/bin/env -S uv run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.9"
# dependencies = [
#     "acuvity",
# ]
# ///

from acuvity import Acuvity

sdk = Acuvity(
  # SDK arguments
)

# Rest of script here...

Once that is saved to a file, you can run it with uv run script.py where script.py can be replaced with the actual file name.

IDE Support

PyCharm

Generally, the SDK will work well with most IDEs out of the box. However, when using PyCharm, you can enjoy much better integration with Pydantic by installing an additional plugin.

SDK Example Usage

Process a scan request

For the most simple example of using the Scan API, ensure that you have your app token set in the ACUVITY_TOKEN environment variable. You can then run the following:

from acuvity import Acuvity

c = Acuvity()
res = c.apex.scan("My prompt I want to scan")
print(res)

Here is a more elaborate scan request using the Scan API and making use of the builtin context manager.

# Synchronous Example
import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
import os

with Acuvity(
    security=acuvity.Security(
        # this is the default and can be omitted
        token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
    ),
) as acuvity:

    res = acuvity.apex.scan(
        "Using a weather forecasting service, provide me with a weather forecast for the next ten days for Sunnyvale, CA."
    )

    if res is not None:
        # handle response
        pass

The same SDK client can also be used to make asychronous requests by importing asyncio.

# Asynchronous Example
import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
import asyncio
import os

async def main():
    async with Acuvity(
        security=acuvity.Security(
            # this is the default and can be omitted
            token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
        ),
    ) as acuvity:

        res = await acuvity.apex.scan_async(
            "Using a weather forecasting service, provide me with a weather forecast for the next ten days for Sunnyvale, CA."
        )

        if res is not None:
            # handle response
            pass

asyncio.run(main())

List all available analyzers

Now you can list all available analyzers that can be used in the Scan API.

# Synchronous Example
import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
import os

with Acuvity(
    security=acuvity.Security(
        # this is the default and can be omitted
        token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
    ),
) as acuvity:

    res = acuvity.apex.list_analyzers()

    if res is not None:
        # handle response
        pass

The same SDK client can also be used to make asychronous requests by importing asyncio.

# Asynchronous Example
import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
import asyncio
import os

async def main():
    async with Acuvity(
        security=acuvity.Security(
            # this is the default and can be omitted
            token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
        ),
    ) as acuvity:

        res = await acuvity.apex.list_analyzers_async()

        if res is not None:
            # handle response
            pass

asyncio.run(main())

NOTE: If you simply want to get a list of analyzer names or groups that can be used in the scan API, use list_analyzer_names() or list_analyzer_groups() instead.

Guard config

The SDK provides a guard config through which the user can input the guard checks for a particular prompts.

If no guard config is provided then by default all the guards will be run.

example:

guardrails:
  - name: prompt_injection
    threshold: ">= 0.7"
  - name: toxic
    threshold: "0.7"
  - name: gibberish
    threshold: ">= 0.8"
  - name: jailbreak
    threshold: ">= 1.0"
  - name: biased
    threshold: "0.8"
  - name: harmful

If no threshold is given then by default its 0.

Use the above guard_config to be passed in the scan request as below:

text1 = ["corporate sales number are 10k filling, in.abcd@gmail.com, 123abcd@yahoo.com hate you"]

response = s.apex.scan(*text1, files="./examples/test_data/pi-test.txt", guard_config="./examples/config/simple_guard_config.yaml")

# to find all the guards that match the config.
print(response.matches())

Evaluate the scan response as per the guard config.

Once the prompt with the guard config is passed to the SDK, the scan response will have the evaluation/match of the request prompt with respect to the guard config. It will show all the guards that we matched on the corresponding input.

text1 = [
    "corporate sales number are 10k filling, in.abcd@gmail.com, 123abcd@yahoo.com hate you",
    "hello how are you",
]

response = s.apex.scan(
    *text1,
    files="./examples/test_data/pi-test.txt",
    guard_config="./examples/configs/example_guard_config.yaml")

response.matches()

The output of the above would be a list of guard matches with a match as YES or NO.

Available Resources and Operations

Available methods

apex

list_analyzers - List of all available analyzers.
scan_request - Processes the scan request.

Retries

Some of the endpoints in this SDK support retries. If you use the SDK without any configuration, it will fall back to the default retry strategy provided by the API. However, the default retry strategy can be overridden on a per-operation basis, or across the entire SDK.

To change the default retry strategy for a single API call, simply provide a RetryConfig object to the call:

import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
from acuvity.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig
import os


with Acuvity(
    security=acuvity.Security(
        token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
    ),
) as a_client:

    res = a_client.apex.list_analyzers(,
        RetryConfig("backoff", BackoffStrategy(1, 50, 1.1, 100), False))

    # Handle response
    print(res)

If you'd like to override the default retry strategy for all operations that support retries, you can use the retry_config optional parameter when initializing the SDK:

import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
from acuvity.utils import BackoffStrategy, RetryConfig
import os


with Acuvity(
    retry_config=RetryConfig("backoff", BackoffStrategy(1, 50, 1.1, 100), False),
    security=acuvity.Security(
        token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
    ),
) as a_client:

    res = a_client.apex.list_analyzers()

    # Handle response
    print(res)

Error Handling

Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or raise an exception.

By default, an API error will raise a models.APIError exception, which has the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
`.status_code`	int	The HTTP status code
`.message`	str	The error message
`.raw_response`	httpx.Response	The raw HTTP response
`.body`	str	The response content

When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also raise their associated exceptions. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the list_analyzers_async method may raise the following exceptions:

Error Type	Status Code	Content Type
models.Elementalerror	400, 401	application/json
models.Elementalerror	500	application/json
models.APIError	4XX, 5XX	/

Example

import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity, models
import os


with Acuvity(
    security=acuvity.Security(
        token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
    ),
) as a_client:
    res = None
    try:

        res = a_client.apex.list_analyzers()

        # Handle response
        print(res)

    except models.Elementalerror as e:
        # handle e.data: models.ElementalerrorData
        raise(e)
    except models.Elementalerror as e:
        # handle e.data: models.ElementalerrorData
        raise(e)
    except models.APIError as e:
        # handle exception
        raise(e)

Server Selection

Server Variables

The default server https://{apex_domain}:{apex_port} contains variables and is set to https://apex.acuvity.ai:443 by default. Note that the default values DO NOT point to a valid and existing Apex URL as they are specific and unique to every organization. Therefore both variables must be set. The following parameters are available when initializing the SDK client instance:

apex_domain: str
apex_port: str

However, if no server_url or apex_domain is set, the Apex URL is being automatically determined based on the provided token (either inside of the Security object or set in the ACUVITY_TOKEN environment variable). Note that this is going to make additional internal (synchronous) API calls to the Acuvity backend to determine the Apex URL. This is a one-time operation that runs during the initialization of the Acuvity class.

Override Server URL Per-Client

The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the server_url: str optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:

import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
import os

with Acuvity(
    server_url="https://apex.acuvity.ai:443",
    security=acuvity.Security(
        token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
    ),
) as acuvity:

    res = acuvity.apex.list_analyzers()

    if res is not None:
        # handle response
        pass

Custom HTTP Client

The Python SDK makes API calls using the httpx HTTP library. In order to provide a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration, you can initialize the SDK client with your own HTTP client instance. Depending on whether you are using the sync or async version of the SDK, you can pass an instance of HttpClient or AsyncHttpClient respectively, which are Protocol's ensuring that the client has the necessary methods to make API calls. This allows you to wrap the client with your own custom logic, such as adding custom headers, logging, or error handling, or you can just pass an instance of httpx.Client or httpx.AsyncClient directly.

For example, you could specify a header for every request that this sdk makes as follows:

from acuvity import Acuvity
import httpx

http_client = httpx.Client(headers={"x-custom-header": "someValue"})
s = Acuvity(client=http_client)

or you could wrap the client with your own custom logic:

from acuvity import Acuvity
from acuvity.httpclient import AsyncHttpClient
import httpx

class CustomClient(AsyncHttpClient):
    client: AsyncHttpClient

    def __init__(self, client: AsyncHttpClient):
        self.client = client

    async def send(
        self,
        request: httpx.Request,
        *,
        stream: bool = False,
        auth: Union[
            httpx._types.AuthTypes, httpx._client.UseClientDefault, None
        ] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
        follow_redirects: Union[
            bool, httpx._client.UseClientDefault
        ] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
    ) -> httpx.Response:
        request.headers["Client-Level-Header"] = "added by client"

        return await self.client.send(
            request, stream=stream, auth=auth, follow_redirects=follow_redirects
        )

    def build_request(
        self,
        method: str,
        url: httpx._types.URLTypes,
        *,
        content: Optional[httpx._types.RequestContent] = None,
        data: Optional[httpx._types.RequestData] = None,
        files: Optional[httpx._types.RequestFiles] = None,
        json: Optional[Any] = None,
        params: Optional[httpx._types.QueryParamTypes] = None,
        headers: Optional[httpx._types.HeaderTypes] = None,
        cookies: Optional[httpx._types.CookieTypes] = None,
        timeout: Union[
            httpx._types.TimeoutTypes, httpx._client.UseClientDefault
        ] = httpx.USE_CLIENT_DEFAULT,
        extensions: Optional[httpx._types.RequestExtensions] = None,
    ) -> httpx.Request:
        return self.client.build_request(
            method,
            url,
            content=content,
            data=data,
            files=files,
            json=json,
            params=params,
            headers=headers,
            cookies=cookies,
            timeout=timeout,
            extensions=extensions,
        )

s = Acuvity(async_client=CustomClient(httpx.AsyncClient()))

Authentication

Per-Client Security Schemes

This SDK supports the following security schemes globally:

Name	Type	Scheme	Environment Variable
`token`	http	HTTP Bearer	`ACUVITY_TOKEN`
`cookie`	apiKey	API key	`ACUVITY_COOKIE`

You can set the security parameters through the security optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected scheme will be used by default to authenticate with the API for all operations that support it. For example:

import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
import os


with Acuvity(
    security=acuvity.Security(
        token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
    ),
) as a_client:

    res = a_client.apex.list_analyzers()

    # Handle response
    print(res)

Resource Management

The Acuvity class implements the context manager protocol and registers a finalizer function to close the underlying sync and async HTTPX clients it uses under the hood. This will close HTTP connections, release memory and free up other resources held by the SDK. In short-lived Python programs and notebooks that make a few SDK method calls, resource management may not be a concern. However, in longer-lived programs, it is beneficial to create a single SDK instance via a context manager and reuse it across the application.

import acuvity
from acuvity import Acuvity
import os
def main():

    with Acuvity(
        security=acuvity.Security(
            token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
        ),
    ) as a_client:
        # Rest of application here...


# Or when using async:
async def amain():

    async with Acuvity(
        security=acuvity.Security(
            token=os.getenv("ACUVITY_TOKEN", ""),
        ),
    ) as a_client:
        # Rest of application here...

Debugging

You can setup your SDK to emit debug logs for SDK requests and responses.

You can pass your own logger class directly into your SDK.

from acuvity import Acuvity
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
s = Acuvity(debug_logger=logging.getLogger("acuvity"))

You can also enable a default debug logger by setting an environment variable ACUVITY_DEBUG to true.

Development

Maturity

This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.

Contributions

While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Any manual changes added to internal files will be overwritten on the next generation. We look forward to hearing your feedback. Feel free to open a PR or an issue with a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release.
