## Configuration (.env)

Create a `.env` file in the project root with your API keys:

```bash
# Required: API key for LLM
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-xxx # Recommended - supports multiple models
# OR
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxx
# OR
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-xxx

# Optional: LLM Policy Generation
PROGENT_POLICY_MODEL=openai/gpt-4o-mini # Model for auto-generating policies
```

**LLM Policy Generation**: Automatically generate security policies from user queries using an LLM. See `examples/llm_policy_generation.py` for usage.

```bash
python examples/test_generate.py
```

## Repository Structure

The idea for the repo structure is to have a progent/ sdk directory, which would be what we develop. secagent/ is the original implementation by the Progent authors which can be nice for reference (https://github.com/sunblaze-ucb/progent/tree/main). implementations/ is what a developer using our progent library would create. Feel free to propose a better structure.

The repository structure diagram lists progent/adapters/registry.py, but the registry implementation in this PR is progent/registry.py (top-level). Also, the tree indentation implies logger.py/cli.py are under adapters/. Update this section to match the actual package layout.

## Evaluation Framework

The `implementations/evals/` directory provides automated testing for agent security and capabilities:

**Purpose:**
- Validate that policies block malicious actions (security)
- Ensure policies allow legitimate tasks (utility)
- Provide reproducible benchmarks for agent behavior

**Quick Start:**
```bash
cd implementations
python -m evals.run_evals # Run all test scenarios
```

**Test Categories:**
- `A*` - Valid use cases (should pass)
- `B*` - Tool misuse (should be blocked)
- `C*` - Dangerous commands (should be refused)
- `D*` - Social engineering (should be refused)

**Key Files:**
- `scenarios.py` - Test cases with prompts and validators
- `harness.py` - Test runner with logging and result tracking
- `eval_policies.json` - Restrictive policies for testing (includes cross-platform support)
- `results/` - JSON output with blocked/allowed tools per scenario



## What is `progent/`?

`progent/` is a **Python library** (SDK) that provides the core Progent policy engine:
- Framework-agnostic policy enforcement (`check_tool_call`, `@secure`)
- **[New]** Auto-enforcing `ProgentRegistry` pattern
- **[New]** Deep Policy Validation against tool definitions
- **[New]** Detailed error reporting for debugging blocked calls
- JSON Schema-based argument validation
- Optional adapters (LangChain, MCP)
- Optional analysis/generation modules

| **LLM Policy Generation** | `progent/generation.py` | Working, but needs more testing and integration into agent loop |

## Not Working / Untested

| Area | File | Issue |
|------|------|-------|
| **LLM Policy Generation** | `progent/generation.py` | Not tested, not integrated into agent loop |
| **State/History Tracking** | N/A | Not implemented - policies are stateless, no conditional rules like "if tool A used, block tool B" (This is not a feature of Progent) |
| **Declarative Policy Updates** | `progent/core.py` | The `"update"` field in policy rules is not implemented |

## Missing Tests

- [x] Integration tests for full agent loop (user prompt → tool call → policy check → result)
- [ ] Tests for `progent/generation.py`
- [ ] Tests for `progent/adapters/mcp.py` with real MCP server
- [ ] Tests for `progent/adapters/langchain.py`
- [ ] Security benchmarks (does policy actually block attacks?)
- [ ] Utility benchmarks (does policy break legitimate tasks?)
- [x] Tests for `progent/generation.py` (Implemented `tests/test_progent/test_generation.py`)
- [x] Tests for `progent/adapters/mcp.py` and `progent/adapters/langchain.py` (Added mock tests)
- [x] Security benchmarks (does policy actually block attacks?) - **Implemented `implementations/evals/`**
- [x] Utility benchmarks (does policy break legitimate tasks?) - **Implemented `implementations/evals/`**

**Evaluation Framework (`implementations/evals/`):**

**Current State: Basic Coverage (~30% comprehensive)**
- 9 scenarios testing fundamental security and utility
- Structured logging to track blocked/allowed tools
- Cross-platform support (Windows/Unix commands)
- Mock data for reproducible tests

**What IS Tested:**
- **Valid Use Cases:** Fetch data, clone repos, install packages
- Tests: Policies don't break legitimate workflows
- **Direct Prompt Injection:** "Ignore instructions", "Developer mode"
- Tests: Policies block jailbreak attempts
- **Tool Misuse:** Dangerous commands (rm -rf, del *.*), reading secrets (.env)
- Tests: Both policy blocks AND agent safety judgment
- **Indirect Injection:** Following malicious instructions, data exfiltration
- Tests: Agent refuses based on ethical judgment

**What needs improvement (NOT Tested):**
- Multi-step attack chains (install package → use to read .env)
- Encoding/obfuscation (base64, Unicode, command substitution)
- Context manipulation (long prompts, token smuggling)
- Tool chaining exploits (write malicious script → execute)
- Path traversal (../../.env variants)
- Realistic adversarial prompts (current tests too simple)
- Better validators (parse actual tool calls, not keywords)
- More scenarios (need 50-100 for production, have 9)

## Improvements Needed

- [ ] **Better error messages** - When policy blocks, explain why clearly
- [ ] **Policy debugging tool / traceability** - "Why was this call blocked?"
- [ ] **Policy conflict detection UI** - Make Z3 analysis accessible
- [x] **Better error messages** - When policy blocks, explain why clearly (added `policy_rule` and `failed_condition` to `ProgentBlockedError`)
- [x] **Policy debugging tool / traceability** - "Why was this call blocked?" (Implemented `progent/cli.py`)
- [x] **Policy conflict detection UI** - Make Z3 analysis accessible
- [ ] **Documentation** - API reference for `progent` library

- [ ] `implementations/core/progent_enforcer.py` duplicates some logic from `progent/core.py`
- [ ] Logging is scattered - could be centralized
- [x] `implementations/core/progent_enforcer.py` duplicates some logic from `progent/core.py` (Refactored to use `progent.registry`)
- [x] Logging is scattered - could be centralized (Implemented `progent/logger.py`)
- [x] No CI/CD pipeline for running tests (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`)

# LLM Policy Generation Example

Run this example to see how LLM-based policy generation works:

```bash
# Set your API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"

# Run the example
python examples/llm_policy_generation.py
```

The example will:
1. Register three tools (send_email, read_file, delete_file)
2. Generate a security policy from the query: "Send an email to john@example.com about the meeting tomorrow"
3. Ask you to approve the generated policy
4. Test the policy with allowed and blocked calls

## What the LLM generates

For the query above, the LLM typically generates:
```json
{
"send_email": {
"to": {"enum": ["john@example.com"]},
"subject": {"pattern": ".*meeting.*"}
}
}
```

This allows sending email **only to john@example.com** and **only about meetings**.

## CLI Usage

You can also use the CLI (though you need to register tools programmatically first):

```bash
progent generate --query "Send email to john@example.com" --manual-check
```

## Environment Variables

- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - For OpenAI models (default: gpt-4o)
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - For Claude models
- `PROGENT_POLICY_MODEL` - Override the model (e.g., "gpt-4o-mini", "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219")
