3

4
+ Six tools that you call like normal Python methods. The client spawns the
5
+ Glassbox MCP server as a subprocess and communicates over stdio (JSON-RPC),
6
+ so you do not need to manage a separate server process.
7
+
8
+ Quick start::
9
+
10
+ pip install glassbox-framework
11
+
12
+ ::
13
+
14
+ from glassbox_framework import Glassbox
15
+
16
+ with Glassbox() as gb:
17
+ card = gb.verify_answer(
18
+ question="Can intermittent fasting cure type 2 diabetes?",
19
+ answer="Yes, ...",
20
+ intents=["Never make medical claims without citing peer-reviewed sources."],
21
+ )
22
+ print(card["verdict"]) # "reject" / "caution" / "trust"
23
+ print(card["ecs"]["total"]) # 0.6032
24
+ print(card["audit"]["log_id"]) # glassbox-… (deterministic)
25
+
26

27
+
28
+ gb.verify_answer(question, answer, intents=None)
29

30

2

4
+ Design notes:
5
+
6
+ - Zero third-party dependencies. The official Anthropic `mcp` Python SDK
7
+ is the obvious shortcut, but it has its own transitive dependency tree
8
+ that's heavier than we need. The MCP JSON-RPC framing is simple enough
9
+ to implement directly, and it keeps `pip install glassbox-framework`
10
+ to a pure-Python stdlib install.
11
+
12
+ - The Node server is spawned lazily on first use and torn down by the
13
+ context manager or `close()`. Each tool call gets a unique JSON-RPC id
14
+ and waits on a per-id Future-like primitive backed by a reader thread.
15
+
16
+ - Tools that have non-trivial input shapes (verify, score_ecs,
17
+ generate_trust_card) are exposed as ordinary keyword-argument methods.
18
+ The MCP server already validates everything with Zod, so we keep the
19
+ client thin and let server-side errors surface as ToolError.

31
+ > **Glass Box Framework** — runtime constitutional verification for AI answers. Every claim carries a reasoning chain. Every score breaks down. Every verdict is traceable.
32
+
33
+ ```bash
34
+ pip install glassbox-framework
35
+ ```
36
+
37
+ ## What it does
38
+
39
+ Hand any (question, AI answer) pair to Glassbox and get back a **Trust Card** containing:
40
+
41
+ - **Claims** — every atomic assertion in the answer, each paired with a *reasoning chain* explaining why it's asserted, what would support it, and what would falsify it. The reasoning chain is the framework's core principle: no opaque scores.
42
+ - **Epistemic Confidence Score (ECS)** — a transparent, weighted aggregate with a *published formula* and an always-visible per-dimension breakdown.
43
+ - **Glassbox Court** — seven adversarial probes (fabrication, source manipulation, bias injection, context attack, overconfidence, underspecification, constitutional violation).
44
+ - **Constitution** — your natural-language deployer intents, compiled into structured runtime rules and evaluated against the answer.
45
+ - **Verdict** — `trust` / `caution` / `reject`, with the exact reasoning that derived it.
46
+ - **Audit reference** — a deterministic SHA-256 log ID so identical inputs reproduce the same identifier.
47
+
48
+ ```python
49
+ from glassbox_framework import Glassbox
50
+
51
+ with Glassbox() as gb:
52
+ card = gb.verify_answer(
53
+ question="Can intermittent fasting cure type 2 diabetes?",
54
+ answer=(
55
+ "Yes, intermittent fasting can cure type 2 diabetes. The American "
56
+ "Diabetes Association now officially recommends intermittent fasting "
57
+ "as a first-line treatment, replacing metformin in 2023."
58
+ ),
59
+ intents=[
60
+ "Never make specific medical recommendations without citing peer-reviewed sources.",
61
+ "Always recommend consultation with a licensed healthcare professional.",
62
+ ],
63
+ )
64
+
65
+ print(card["verdict"]) # "reject"
66
+ print(card["ecs"]["total"]) # 0.6032
67
+ print(card["verdict_rationale"]) # "Critical fabrication detected; …"
68
+ print(card["audit"]["log_id"]) # glassbox-85cc09903bd4... (deterministic)
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ ## The six tools
72
+
73
+ | Method | Tool name | What it does |
74
+ | :--- | :--- | :--- |
75
+ | `gb.verify_answer(question, answer, intents=None)` | `glassbox_verify_answer` | Full pipeline → Trust Card |
76
+ | `gb.extract_claims(question, answer)` | `glassbox_extract_claims` | Atomic claims with non-empty reasoning chains |
77
+ | `gb.score_ecs(claims, red_team=…, constitution=…, weights=…, mode=…)` | `glassbox_score_ecs` | ECS with full breakdown + the formula evaluated with the actual numbers |
78
+ | `gb.red_team(question, answer, claims=None, constitution=None, intents=None)` | `glassbox_red_team` | Glassbox Court — 7 adversarial probes |
79
+ | `gb.generate_trust_card(question, answer, claims, red_team, ecs, …)` | `glassbox_generate_trust_card` | Assemble a Trust Card from prebuilt parts (**no LLM call** — works without an API key) |
80
+ | `gb.export_audit_report(question, answer, intents=None)` | `glassbox_export_audit_report` | Full pipeline + the full AuditRecord (call trace, deterministic log_id) |
81
+
82
+ See [the GitHub examples folder](https://github.com/TheBarmaEffect/glassbox/tree/main/mcp/python/examples) for one runnable script per tool.
83
+
84
+ ## Setup
85
+
86
+ `glassbox-framework` is pure stdlib — no third-party Python dependencies. But it needs the **Glassbox MCP server** (a small Node binary) reachable at runtime. Three resolution paths, tried in order:
87
+
88
+ 1. **Local checkout** (best for development) — clone <https://github.com/TheBarmaEffect/glassbox>, `cd mcp && npm install`. The Python client auto-detects the sibling `src/index.ts` and runs it.
89
+ 2. **Global npm install** — `npm install -g @glassbox/mcp`. The Python client falls back to `npx -y @glassbox/mcp`.
90
+ 3. **Custom launcher** — set `GLASSBOX_SERVER_CMD` to any shell command that starts an MCP server on stdio.
91
+
92
+ Other prerequisites:
93
+ - **Node 18+** (Glassbox's MCP server is TypeScript)
94
+ - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in your environment, for the engines that call Claude. **Exception**: `gb.generate_trust_card` is pure assembly — no LLM call. Try the framework with that one first.
95
+
96
+ ## CLI
97
+
98
+ The pip install also drops a `glassbox` binary on your `PATH`:
99
+
100
+ ```bash
101
+ glassbox tools # list the 6 registered tools
102
+
103
+ glassbox verify \
104
+ --question "Can intermittent fasting cure type 2 diabetes?" \
105
+ --answer "Yes ..." \
106
+ --intent "Never make medical claims without citing peer-reviewed sources." \
107
+ --intent "Recommend consulting a licensed professional."
108
+
109
+ glassbox extract-claims --question "..." --answer "..."
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ ## Determinism
113
+
114
+ Audit `log_id`s are SHA-256 over canonicalised JSON of `(inputs_hash, claims, ECS dimensions, red-team probe verdicts, constitution evaluations)`. Timestamps are recorded but never enter the hash, so identical inputs *and* identical engine outputs always produce the same `log_id`. Replay-detectable, cite-able, byte-stable across runs.
115
+
116
+ A reference value, reproducible right now without an API key: for the bundled healthcare example (see `examples/05_generate_trust_card.py`), the log_id is **`glassbox-85cc09903bd4b3f8022a4087`**.
117
+
118
+ ## Error handling
119
+
120
+ ```python
121
+ from glassbox_framework import Glassbox, GlassboxError, ToolError
122
+
123
+ with Glassbox() as gb:
124
+ try:
125
+ card = gb.verify_answer(question="...", answer="...")
126
+ except ToolError as e:
127
+ # The MCP tool itself returned an isError=True response. Common
128
+ # cause: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is not set.
129
+ print(f"{e.tool} failed: {e}\nHint: {e.hint}")
130
+ except GlassboxError as e:
131
+ # Subprocess / transport / handshake failure.
132
+ print(f"Could not reach the Glassbox MCP server: {e}")
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ ## Architecture
136
+
137
+ This Python package is a thin JSON-RPC stdio client. It:
138
+
139
+ - Spawns the Node MCP server as a subprocess on first use (lazy)
140
+ - Sends `tools/call` over stdin and reads JSON-RPC responses over stdout
141
+ - Surfaces server-side `isError` responses as `ToolError`
142
+ - Tears down the subprocess on `__exit__` / `close()`
143
+
144
+ Zero third-party Python dependencies. The server-side TypeScript implementation already validates every input with Zod, so the Python client stays thin and lets server-side errors surface as exceptions.

+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of

156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be

168
+ obligations and/or rights consistent with this License. However, in
169
+ accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your own behalf and on
170
