Lucid SDK Reference

This section provides the API reference for the Lucid SDK and the underlying schemas used for attestation.

AuditorApp (Recommended)

The high-level AuditorApp class provides the simplest way to create auditors with minimal boilerplate.

lucid_sdk.app.AuditorApp

Simplified high-level class for building auditors with minimal boilerplate.

AuditorApp combines configuration, FastAPI app creation, and auditor registration into a single cohesive class. It eliminates the repetitive boilerplate that appears in every auditor.

Features: - Automatic configuration from environment variables - Built-in /audit endpoint with phase detection and chaining - Decorator-based handler registration - Automatic evidence submission to verifier - Health/ready endpoints included

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
name		Display name for the auditor.
auditor_id		Unique identifier (defaults to env LUCID_AUDITOR_ID).
config		Configuration instance.
app		The FastAPI application.
logger		Structured logger.
http_factory	HTTPClientFactory	HTTP client factory with retry logic.

Example

from lucid_sdk import AuditorApp, Proceed, Deny, Warn

Create app with minimal config

app = AuditorApp("pii-compliance")

Or with explicit config

app = AuditorApp( "pii-compliance", port=8096, auditor_id="lucid-pii-compliance-auditor", )

@app.on_request def check_input(data, config=None, lucid_context=None): pii_found = detect_pii(data.get("content", "")) if pii_found: return Deny("PII detected", entities=pii_found) return Proceed(data={"pii_checked": True})

@app.on_response def check_output(data, request=None, lucid_context=None): # Check response for PII leakage return Proceed()

if name == "main": app.run()

Auditor (Builder Pattern)

lucid_sdk.auditor.Auditor

Bases: ABC

Abstract base class for all Lucid Auditors.

Auditors are the primary units of safety enforcement in the Lucid platform. They execute within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and produce cryptographically signed evidence of their findings.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
auditor_id	str	Unique identifier for the auditor.
version	str	Protocol version string.
tee	LucidClient	Client for hardware attestation and secret management.
verifier_url	Optional[str]	Endpoint for the Verifier service to send evidence to.
config	AuditorConfig	Unique configuration patterns for this auditor.

API Contract

Subclasses must implement: - check_request(request, lucid_context) -> AuditResult - check_execution(context, lucid_context) -> AuditResult - check_response(response, request, lucid_context) -> AuditResult

Request Parameter (RequestPayload): - messages: List[Dict] - Conversation messages with role and content - model: str - Model identifier being called - nonce: str (optional) - Anti-replay token for session binding - metadata: Dict (optional) - Additional request metadata

Context Parameter (ExecutionContext, for check_execution): - tool_calls: List[Dict] - Tool invocations with name and arguments - intermediate_outputs: List[str] - Model intermediate reasoning steps - resource_usage: Dict - CPU/memory/token consumption metrics

Response Parameter (ResponsePayload): - content: str - Generated text response - tool_calls: List[Dict] (optional) - Tool calls in the response - finish_reason: str - Why generation stopped (stop, length, tool_calls) - usage: Dict - Token usage statistics

ClaimsAuditor (Policy-Driven Pattern)

lucid_sdk.auditor.ClaimsAuditor

Bases: ABC

Base class for policy-driven auditors that produce claims.

In the policy-driven architecture, ClaimsAuditor subclasses only produce claims (observations) using @claims decorated methods. The PolicyEngine evaluates claims against policy rules to make decisions.

This separates concerns: - Auditors: Produce claims (measurements, observations) - PolicyEngine: Makes decisions based on policy rules

Benefits: - Policy changes take effect without redeploying auditors - Claims can be reused across different policies - Clear separation of measurement vs decision logic

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
auditor_id	str	Unique identifier for this auditor.
version	str	Version string for this auditor.

Example

class ToxicityAuditor(ClaimsAuditor): def init(self): super().init("toxicity-auditor", "1.0.0") self.model = load_toxicity_model()

@claims(phase=Phase.REQUEST)
def measure_toxicity(self, request: dict) -> list[Claim]:
    score = self.model.analyze(request.get("prompt", ""))
    return [Claim(
        name="toxicity.score",
        type=MeasurementType.score_normalized,
        value=score,
        confidence=0.95,
        timestamp=datetime.now(timezone.utc),
    )]

def check_response_toxicity(self, response: dict) -> list[Claim]:

lucid_sdk.auditor.claims(phase, name=None)

Decorator that marks a method as producing claims.

In the policy-driven architecture, auditors only produce claims (observations), and the PolicyEngine decides the action (deny/proceed/warn/redact).

This decorator: 1. Marks the method as a claim producer 2. Records the lifecycle phase (request, response, etc.) 3. Enables AuditorRuntime to discover and invoke claim methods

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
phase	Phase	The lifecycle phase when this method should be invoked.	required
name	Optional[str]	Optional name for the claims produced. Defaults to method name.	None

Returns:

Type	Description
Callable[[Callable[..., List[Any]]], Callable[..., List[Any]]]	Decorated function that produces list[Claim].

Example

class ToxicityAuditor(ClaimsAuditor): @claims(phase=Phase.REQUEST) def measure_toxicity(self, request: dict) -> list[Claim]: score = self.model.analyze(request["prompt"]) return [Claim( name="toxicity.score", value=score, confidence=0.95, type=MeasurementType.score_normalized, timestamp=datetime.now(timezone.utc) )]

Note

• Decorated methods should return list[Claim], not AuditResult
• The PolicyEngine will evaluate claims against policy rules
• Methods are discovered via get_claims_methods() on ClaimsAuditor

lucid_sdk.auditor.AuditorRuntime

Orchestrates claim collection and policy enforcement.

AuditorRuntime bridges ClaimsAuditor (which produces claims) with PolicyEngine (which makes decisions). It implements the full policy-driven architecture workflow:

1. Invoke @claims methods on the auditor → collect claims
2. Bundle claims into Evidence
3. Pass Evidence to PolicyEngine for appraisal
4. Return AuditRuntimeResult with decision and provenance

This separation enables: - Policy updates without auditor redeployment - Clear audit trail with policy version - Standardized claim collection across auditors

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
auditor		The ClaimsAuditor instance to collect claims from.
policy_engine		The PolicyEngine (or DynamicPolicyEngine) for decisions.
tee		LucidClient for signing evidence.

Example

from lucid_sdk import ClaimsAuditor, AuditorRuntime from lucid_sdk.policy_engine import DynamicPolicyEngine from lucid_sdk.policy_source import VerifierPolicySource

Create auditor

auditor = ToxicityAuditor()

Create policy engine with dynamic refresh

source = VerifierPolicySource("https://verifier.example.com/v1") engine = DynamicPolicyEngine(source, "toxicity-auditor")

Policy Engine

lucid_sdk.policy_engine.PolicyEngine

Engine for evaluating claims against auditor policies.

The PolicyEngine is the main class for policy evaluation. It takes an AuditorPolicy and provides methods to validate claims, evaluate rules, and determine the final audit decision.

The evaluation process

1. Validate claims against required/optional claim specifications
2. Evaluate each policy rule's LPL condition
3. Determine final decision based on rule outcomes and enforcement mode

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
policy		The AuditorPolicy being enforced.
parser		The LPL expression parser for condition evaluation.
last_results	List[RuleResult]	Results from the most recent rule evaluation.

Example

policy = load_policy("my_policy.yaml") engine = PolicyEngine(policy)

Full evaluation

result = engine.evaluate(claims) print(f"Decision: {result.decision}")

Or step-by-step

validation = engine.validate_claims(claims) if validation.valid: ... decision = engine.enforce(claims) ... reason = engine.get_reason()

appraise_evidence(evidence)

Appraise Evidence and set its trust_tier (RFC 9334 compliant).

This is the RATS-compliant way to evaluate Evidence. The Verifier applies the Appraisal Policy for Evidence to assess trustworthiness and sets the trust_tier field on the Evidence.

Per RFC 9334

• "affirming": Claims meet all policy requirements
• "warning": Claims have minor issues but are acceptable
• "contraindicated": Claims violate critical policy rules
• "none": Unable to determine trustworthiness

Also populates the EAR-compliant appraisal_record with per-claim appraisal details for visualization and audit.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
evidence	Evidence	The Evidence object to appraise.	required

Returns:

Type	Description
Evidence	The same Evidence object with trust_tier and appraisal_record set.

Example

appraised = engine.appraise_evidence(evidence) print(f"Trust tier: {appraised.trust_tier}") for claim_result in appraised.appraisal_record['claim_appraisals']: ... print(f" {claim_result['claim_name']}: {claim_result['status']}")

lucid_sdk.policy_engine.DynamicPolicyEngine

PolicyEngine with dynamic policy refresh from a PolicySource.

This engine wraps the base PolicyEngine and adds: - Dynamic policy fetching from a PolicySource - Caching with configurable refresh interval - Graceful fallback on fetch failures - Fail-closed mode for safety

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
source	PolicySource	The PolicySource to fetch policies from.
auditor_id		The auditor ID to fetch policies for.
refresh_interval		Seconds between policy refreshes (default: 60).
max_stale_time		Max seconds to use stale policy on failure (default: 300).
fail_closed		If True, deny on policy unavailable (default: True).

Example

from lucid_sdk.policy_source import VerifierPolicySource source = VerifierPolicySource("https://verifier.example.com/v1") engine = DynamicPolicyEngine( ... source=source, ... auditor_id="my-auditor", ... refresh_interval=60 ... ) result = engine.evaluate(claims) print(f"Policy version: {engine.policy_version}")

Individual assertion without signature (RFC 9334 Claim).

A Claim is the atomic unit of attestation data. It represents a single assertion made by an Attester (auditor) about some aspect of the system or data being audited.

Claims do NOT include signatures - they are bundled into Evidence containers which provide a single signature covering all claims. This is more efficient than signing each claim individually.

lucid_schemas.evidence.Evidence

Bases: VersionedSchema

Container of Claims from a single Attester (RFC 9334 Evidence).

Evidence bundles one or more Claims and provides a single cryptographic signature covering all of them. This is more efficient than signing each claim individually (as was done with Measurements).

The signature flow is: 1. Attester creates Claims (unsigned assertions) 2. Attester bundles Claims into Evidence 3. Attester signs the Evidence once (covering all Claims) 4. Verifier verifies one signature per Evidence

This replaces the per-Measurement signature approach.

Graceful degradation for optional dependencies without try/except boilerplate.

lucid_sdk.imports.optional_import(module_name, *, fallback=None, min_version=None, package_name=None, warn_on_missing=True, submodules=None)

Import a module optionally, returning a fallback if not available.

This function attempts to import a module and returns it if successful. If the import fails (e.g., module not installed), it returns either: - The provided fallback - A MockModule that logs warnings on access

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
module_name	str	The name of the module to import (e.g., "presidio_analyzer").	required
fallback	Optional[Union[Type[T], Callable[[], T], Any]]	Optional fallback to return if import fails. Can be: - A class to instantiate - A callable that returns the fallback - Any other value to return directly	None
min_version	Optional[str]	Optional minimum version string (e.g., "1.0.0").	None
package_name	Optional[str]	Optional PyPI package name if different from module name.	None
warn_on_missing	bool	Whether to log a warning when the module is missing.	True
submodules	Optional[List[str]]	Optional list of submodule names to also import.	None

Returns:

Type	Description
Any	The imported module, or the fallback/MockModule if import fails.

Examples:

Basic usage

presidio = optional_import("presidio_analyzer") if presidio: analyzer = presidio.AnalyzerEngine()

With a fallback class

class MockDetector: def detect(self, text): return []

detector_lib = optional_import("detect_secrets", fallback=MockDetector) detector = detector_lib.Detector() if detector_lib else MockDetector()
