+
+# Lilith Python SDK
+
+The official Python client for the Lilith Security Middleware.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install lilith-zero
+```
+
+*Note: This package requires the `Lilith` binary core. The SDK will attempt to find it automatically or guide you to install it.*
+
+## Usage
+
+### Zero-Config Connection
+Lilith automatically discovers the binary on your PATH or in standard locations.
+
+```python
+from lilith_zero import Lilith
+from lilith_zero.exceptions import PolicyViolationError
+
+client = Lilith(
+    upstream="python my_tool_server.py", # The command to run your tools
+    policy="policy.yaml"                 # Security rules
+)
+
+async with client:
+    try:
+        tools = await client.list_tools()
+        result = await client.call_tool("read_file", {"path": "secret.txt"})
+    except PolicyViolationError as e:
+        print(f"Security Alert: {e}")
+```
+
+### Manual Binary Path
+If you need to point to a specific build (e.g. during development):
+
+```python
+client = Lilith(
+    upstream="...",
+    binary="/path/to/custom/Lilith" 
+)
+```
+
+## Exceptions
+
+- `PolicyViolationError`: Raised when the Policy Engine determines a request is unsafe (Static Rule, Taint Check, or Resource Access).
+- `LilithConnectionError`: Raised if the middleware process cannot start or crashes.
+- `LilithConfigError`: Raised if the binary is missing or arguments are invalid.

+Metadata-Version: 2.4
+Name: lilith-zero
+Version: 0.1.1
+Summary: Lilith MCP Middleware SDK
+Author: Peter Tallosy
+Author-email: BadCompany <oss@badcompany.dev>
+Project-URL: Homepage, https://github.com/BadC-mpany/lilith-zero
+Classifier: Programming Language :: Python :: 3
+Requires-Python: >=3.10
+Description-Content-Type: text/markdown
+
+# Lilith Python SDK
+
+The official Python client for the Lilith Security Middleware.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install lilith-zero
+```
+
+*Note: This package requires the `Lilith` binary core. The SDK will attempt to find it automatically or guide you to install it.*
+
+## Usage
+
+### Zero-Config Connection
+Lilith automatically discovers the binary on your PATH or in standard locations.
+
+```python
+from lilith_zero import Lilith
+from lilith_zero.exceptions import PolicyViolationError
+
+client = Lilith(
+    upstream="python my_tool_server.py", # The command to run your tools
+    policy="policy.yaml"                 # Security rules
+)
+
+async with client:
+    try:
+        tools = await client.list_tools()
+        result = await client.call_tool("read_file", {"path": "secret.txt"})
+    except PolicyViolationError as e:
+        print(f"Security Alert: {e}")
+```
+
+### Manual Binary Path
+If you need to point to a specific build (e.g. during development):
+
+```python
+client = Lilith(
+    upstream="...",
+    binary="/path/to/custom/Lilith" 
+)
+```
+
+## Exceptions
+
+- `PolicyViolationError`: Raised when the Policy Engine determines a request is unsafe (Static Rule, Taint Check, or Resource Access).
+- `LilithConnectionError`: Raised if the middleware process cannot start or crashes.
+- `LilithConfigError`: Raised if the binary is missing or arguments are invalid.
