*(data + ReAct — a controlled data-agent SDK for Python workflows)*
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
A data-native agent SDK for Python — built around controlled execution, handle-based state, provider adapters, sessions, subagents, and reconstructable runs.
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
Most agent frameworks hand the model a shell and call it a day. `data-harness` takes a different approach: the model operates through a constrained Python interpreter, with data stored in a session cache and exposed as named handles. No bash. Explicit state. Logs that can reconstruct what happened.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
`data-harness` began as an installable reference implementation for harness design. It is now developing into the full SDK/framework track. A separate `learn-data-harness` repository will be created after the SDK stabilises to extract the basic principles without async, production sandboxing, or SDK-heavy features.
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
The design is covered in a three-part series:

## Why no bash?
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
Giving an agent shell access is the path of least resistance, but it creates real problems in production: unpredictable side effects, security exposure, and behaviour that's hard to reproduce. `data-harness` deliberately constrains the model to Python only — which turns out to be enough for most data workloads and forces cleaner tool design.

## Core design decisions
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
Each decision here is intentional. Understanding them is the point.
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
**Handle/snapshot pattern**
|
|
55
|
+
Large objects (DataFrames, arrays, query results) live in a `SessionCache`, not in message history. The model only sees a compact snapshot — shape, columns, a few sample rows. It accesses the data by writing Python against the handle name. This keeps context lean without hiding data from the model.
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
**Prefix-stable system prompt**
|
|
58
|
+
The system prompt never changes between turns. Reminders, state, and nags are appended to the conversation suffix. This is a KV-cache discipline: a stable prefix means the provider can cache it, which reduces latency and cost on long runs.
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
**Progressive connector disclosure**
|
|
61
|
+
Data connectors (databases, APIs, warehouses) are registered but hidden from the tool list until explicitly loaded. A shorter tool list means the model makes better routing decisions. Connectors are only visible when relevant.
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
**Subagent isolation**
|
|
64
|
+
Spawned subagents get a fresh adapter and a fresh cache. State is transferred explicitly via `input_handles`. No implicit shared state. This makes subagent behaviour reproducible and debuggable.
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
**Suffix-only nag reminders**
|
|
67
|
+
The planner escalates reminders at 4 / 8 / 12 turns without progress. These are always appended to the suffix, never inserted into the prefix, so the KV cache is never busted by reminder text.
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
**JSONL turn logging**
|
|
70
|
+
Every turn is logged to a `.jsonl` file from the start. Not bolted on later. Each line is a complete turn record including latency, token counts, and cache hit/miss. Reproducibility is a first-class concern.

## Install
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
```bash
|
|
77
|
+
# requires Python 3.10+ and uv
|
|
78
|
+
uv sync
|
|
79
|
+
```
|
|

|
+
|
|
81
|
+
## Quick start
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
`Agent` needs a provider adapter. The adapter is the boundary between the
|
|
84
|
+
provider SDK and the harness: it turns Anthropic/OpenAI responses into
|
|
85
|
+
`data-harness`'s normalised `Message`, `ToolUseBlock`, and token-count types. It is
|
|
86
|
+
explicit on purpose so the harness is not tied to one model provider, and tests
|
|
87
|
+
can swap in `FakeAdapter` without touching the loop.
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
For Anthropic:
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
```python
|
|
92
|
+
from data_harness import Agent
|
|
93
|
+
from data_harness.providers.anthropic import AnthropicAdapter
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
adapter = AnthropicAdapter(model="claude-sonnet-4-6")
|
|
96
|
+
agent = Agent(adapter=adapter, system="You are a data analyst.")
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
result = agent.run("Compute the mean of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and print it.")
|
|
99
|
+
print(result)
|
|
100
|
+
```
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
For OpenAI, install the optional extra and change only the adapter:
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
```bash
|
|
105
|
+
pip install "data-harness[openai]"
|
|
106
|
+
```
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
```python
|
|
109
|
+
from data_harness.providers.openai import OpenAIAdapter
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
adapter = OpenAIAdapter(model="gpt-4o-mini")
|
|
112
|
+
```
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
Run the minimal Anthropic example:
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
```bash
|
|
117
|
+
uv run python examples/quickstart.py
|
|
118
|
+
```
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
`examples/quickstart.py` requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` when run as a script. Tests import `build_agent()` and drive it with `FakeAdapter`, so the example stays covered without token spend.

+
```python
|
|
129
|
+
from data_harness import Agent
|
|
130
|
+
from data_harness.providers.openai import OpenAIAdapter
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
adapter = OpenAIAdapter(model="gpt-4o-mini")
|
|
133

agent = Agent(adapter=adapter, system="You are a data analyst.")

session.put("uploaded_data", df)
|

137
|

138
|

print(session.ask("What columns are in the uploaded data?"))
|
|
139
|
+
print(session.ask("Which numeric column has the highest average?"))
|
|
140
|
+
```
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
The session keeps one `Harness`, one message history, and one `SessionCache`.
|
|
143
|
+
This is the path to use when a UI needs uploaded artefacts and conversation
|

144

## What `Agent` composes
|
|
177
|
+
|
|
178
|
+
`Agent` is a thin composition layer over the lower-level primitives:
|
|
179
|
+
|
|
180
|
+
- A provider adapter translates model-provider SDK objects into the harness's normalised response types.
|
|
181
|
+
- `Harness` owns the ReAct loop, messages, dispatch, reminders, and JSONL logging.
|
|
182
|
+
- `SessionCache` stores large values as handles plus compact snapshots.
|
|
183
|
+
- `AgentSession` keeps a chat-style harness and cache alive across follow-up questions.
|
|
184
|
+
- `python_interpreter` is the controlled execution surface; there is no bash tool.
|
|
185
|
+
- `list_variables` exposes cache handles without dumping raw payloads.
|
|
186
|
+
- `ConnectorRegistry` keeps connector tools hidden until loaded.
|
|
187
|
+
- `Planner` reminders and subagents are opt-in helpers, not a second runtime.
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
For explicit wiring, read [examples/advanced_wiring.py](examples/advanced_wiring.py). The future `learn-data-harness` repository will provide the smaller, linear teaching guide once this SDK surface has stabilised.
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
Run the advanced example - it loads a checked-in FRED unemployment-rate sample, runs analysis, uses subagents and the planner (requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`):
|
|
192
|
+
|
|

## Sandbox disclaimer
|
|
231
|
+
|
|
232
|
+
The Python interpreter uses AST checks and restricted globals to reduce accidental misuse. It is not a container sandbox and should not be treated as safe for untrusted input.

*(data + ReAct — a controlled data-agent SDK for Python workflows)*
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
A data-native agent SDK for Python — built around controlled execution, handle-based state, provider adapters, sessions, subagents, and reconstructable runs.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
Most agent frameworks hand the model a shell and call it a day. `data-harness` takes a different approach: the model operates through a constrained Python interpreter, with data stored in a session cache and exposed as named handles. No bash. Explicit state. Logs that can reconstruct what happened.
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
`data-harness` began as an installable reference implementation for harness design. It is now developing into the full SDK/framework track. A separate `learn-data-harness` repository will be created after the SDK stabilises to extract the basic principles without async, production sandboxing, or SDK-heavy features.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
The design is covered in a three-part series:

## Why no bash?
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
Giving an agent shell access is the path of least resistance, but it creates real problems in production: unpredictable side effects, security exposure, and behaviour that's hard to reproduce. `data-harness` deliberately constrains the model to Python only — which turns out to be enough for most data workloads and forces cleaner tool design.

## Core design decisions
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
Each decision here is intentional. Understanding them is the point.
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
**Handle/snapshot pattern**
|
|
30
|
+
Large objects (DataFrames, arrays, query results) live in a `SessionCache`, not in message history. The model only sees a compact snapshot — shape, columns, a few sample rows. It accesses the data by writing Python against the handle name. This keeps context lean without hiding data from the model.
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
**Prefix-stable system prompt**
|
|
33
|
+
The system prompt never changes between turns. Reminders, state, and nags are appended to the conversation suffix. This is a KV-cache discipline: a stable prefix means the provider can cache it, which reduces latency and cost on long runs.
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
**Progressive connector disclosure**
|
|
36
|
+
Data connectors (databases, APIs, warehouses) are registered but hidden from the tool list until explicitly loaded. A shorter tool list means the model makes better routing decisions. Connectors are only visible when relevant.
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
**Subagent isolation**
|
|
39
|
+
Spawned subagents get a fresh adapter and a fresh cache. State is transferred explicitly via `input_handles`. No implicit shared state. This makes subagent behaviour reproducible and debuggable.
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
**Suffix-only nag reminders**
|
|
42
|
+
The planner escalates reminders at 4 / 8 / 12 turns without progress. These are always appended to the suffix, never inserted into the prefix, so the KV cache is never busted by reminder text.
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
**JSONL turn logging**
|
|
45
|
+
Every turn is logged to a `.jsonl` file from the start. Not bolted on later. Each line is a complete turn record including latency, token counts, and cache hit/miss. Reproducibility is a first-class concern.

## Install
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
```bash
|
|
52
|
+
# requires Python 3.10+ and uv
|
|
53
|
+
uv sync
|
|
54
|
+
```
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
## Quick start
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
`Agent` needs a provider adapter. The adapter is the boundary between the
|
|
59
|
+
provider SDK and the harness: it turns Anthropic/OpenAI responses into
|
|
60
|
+
`data-harness`'s normalised `Message`, `ToolUseBlock`, and token-count types. It is
|
|
61
|
+
explicit on purpose so the harness is not tied to one model provider, and tests
|
|
62
|
+
can swap in `FakeAdapter` without touching the loop.
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
For Anthropic:
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
```python
|
|
67
|
+
from data_harness import Agent
|
|
68
|
+
from data_harness.providers.anthropic import AnthropicAdapter
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
adapter = AnthropicAdapter(model="claude-sonnet-4-6")
|
|
71
|
+
agent = Agent(adapter=adapter, system="You are a data analyst.")
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
result = agent.run("Compute the mean of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and print it.")
|
|
74
|
+
print(result)
|
|
75
|
+
```
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
For OpenAI, install the optional extra and change only the adapter:
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
```bash
|
|
80
|
+
pip install "data-harness[openai]"
|
|
81
|
+
```
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
```python
|
|
84
|
+
from data_harness.providers.openai import OpenAIAdapter
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
adapter = OpenAIAdapter(model="gpt-4o-mini")
|
|
87
|
+
```
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
Run the minimal Anthropic example:
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
```bash
|
|
92
|
+
uv run python examples/quickstart.py
|
|
93
|
+
```
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
`examples/quickstart.py` requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` when run as a script. Tests import `build_agent()` and drive it with `FakeAdapter`, so the example stays covered without token spend.
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
## Chat sessions
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
`Agent.run()` is still the simple one-shot path: it starts a fresh message
|
|
100
|
+
history each time. For chatbot or workbench applications, create a session and
|
|
101
|
+
ask follow-up questions on it:
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
```python
|
|
104
|
+
from data_harness import Agent
|
|
105
|
+
from data_harness.providers.openai import OpenAIAdapter
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
adapter = OpenAIAdapter(model="gpt-4o-mini")
|
|
108
|
+
agent = Agent(adapter=adapter, system="You are a data analyst.")
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
session = agent.session()
|
|
111
|
+
session.put("uploaded_data", df)
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
print(session.ask("What columns are in the uploaded data?"))
|
|
114
|
+
print(session.ask("Which numeric column has the highest average?"))
|
|
115
|
+
```
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
The session keeps one `Harness`, one message history, and one `SessionCache`.
|
|
118
|
+
This is the path to use when a UI needs uploaded artefacts and conversation
|
|
119
|
+
follow-up to stay in scope.

## Sandbox disclaimer
|
|
206
|
+
|
|
207
|
+
The Python interpreter uses AST checks and restricted globals to reduce accidental misuse. It is not a container sandbox and should not be treated as safe for untrusted input.
