46
+
47
+ Panoptes gives AI-agent traffic one place to land. Point a supported model
48
+ client at the local reverse proxy and Panoptes turns requests, responses, tool
49
+ instructions, policy decisions, and cost data into a queryable SQLite audit
50
+ trail. Hermes integrations can also report lifecycle events and ask Panoptes
51
+ for a synchronous pre-tool decision.
52
+
53
+ Panoptes runs locally with no external service. It records model API traffic
54
+ and host-reported lifecycle events; tool calls emitted by a model remain
55
+ requests unless the host reports an execution outcome.
56
+
57
+ ## Why
58
+
59
+ Agent logs tend to be provider-specific, short-lived, and hard to compare.
60
+ Panoptes is built to answer a smaller set of operational questions well:
61
+
62
+ - Which model requests and tool instructions crossed the controlled API path?
63
+ - Which tool requests did a native adapter authorize or deny?
64
+ - Which policy snapshot informed each recorded authorization decision or violation?
65
+ - Has the locally stored event history changed since a checkpoint?
66
+
67
+ Every supported adapter writes the same event shape. Every event carries
68
+ capture metadata describing where it came from and how strong that observation
69
+ is. That gives you one dependable record for tracing agent behavior, reviewing
70
+ policy decisions, investigating incidents, and testing ideas—without the
71
+ operational weight of a distributed observability stack.
72
+
73
+ ## Quick Start
74
+
75
+ Install Panoptes as an isolated command-line application:
76
+
77
+ ```bash
78
+ pipx install panoptes-observe
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ Or use `uv`:
82
+
83
+ ```bash
84
+ uv tool install panoptes-observe
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ The distribution is named `panoptes-observe`; the installed command remains
88
+ `panoptes`. To work on the source instead:
89
+
90
+ ```bash
91
+ git clone https://github.com/miggy-code/Panoptes.git
92
+ cd Panoptes
93
+ python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ ### Capture model API traffic
97
+
98
+ Start Panoptes in one terminal:
99
+
100
+ ```bash
101
+ panoptes proxy --port 8081
102
+ ```
103
+
104
+ Then point a supported client at it from another terminal:
105
+
106
+ ```bash
107
+ ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8081 claude
108
+ ```
109
+
110
+ After the run, inspect what Panoptes recorded:
111
+
112
+ ```bash
113
+ panoptes status
114
+ panoptes query --event-type tool_call --limit 10
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ Observation is fail-open by default. For enforcement, provide a valid policy
118
+ directory and choose `fail_closed` explicitly:
119
+
120
+ ```bash
121
+ panoptes proxy \
122
+ --port 8081 \
123
+ --policies-dir ~/.panoptes/policies \
124
+ --policy-failure-mode fail_closed
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ The proxy only binds to loopback. Client sockets have a 30-second I/O timeout
128
+ and the server accepts at most 64 concurrent requests by default; tune these
129
+ with `--client-timeout` and `--max-concurrent-requests`.
130
+
131
+ ### Install Hermes lifecycle hooks
132
+
133
+ ```bash
134
+ python -m panoptes.install_hermes_plugin
135
+ ```
136
+
137
+ The installer adds lifecycle hooks for `agent:start`, `agent:step`, and
138
+ `agent:end`. Those hooks observe; they do not block. Local tool enforcement
139
+ requires the Hermes host to call `authorize_tool_call()` synchronously and
140
+ honor `allowed=False`. In `fail_closed` mode, an authorization whose evidence
141
+ cannot be stored is denied.
142
+
143
+ ### Query and verify
144
+
145
+ ```bash
146
+ panoptes query --agent hermes --event-type agent_step --limit 50
147
+ panoptes query --agent hermes --event-type decision_point --limit 50
148
+ panoptes session <session-id>
149
+ panoptes evidence <event-id>
150
+
151
+ # Verify local hash links and export a checkpoint for separate storage
152
+ panoptes verify
153
+ panoptes checkpoint > checkpoint.json
154
+
155
+ # Later, prove that separately stored checkpoint is a prefix of current history
156
+ panoptes verify --checkpoint checkpoint.json
157
+ ```
158
+
159
+ Read-only database commands require an existing initialized audit database. A
160
+ missing, mistyped, or empty `--db-path` exits with status 2 instead of creating
161
+ a new database.
162
+
163
+ ## Architecture
164
+
165
+ ```text
166
+ Enforcement plane: adapter → normalize → policy gate → model/API boundary
167
+ │
168
+ Audit plane: adapter → normalized event → SQLite → CLI
169
+ ```
170
+
171
+ The design has two intentionally small paths. The enforcement path makes a
172
+ decision before a controlled boundary. The audit path commits normalized
173
+ evidence to SQLite and keeps it available through the CLI. `capture.py`
174
+ describes each adapter's fidelity so consumers can distinguish a model
175
+ instruction from a host-reported or pre-authorized action.
176
+
177
+ ### Capture adapters
178
+
179
+ | Adapter | Observes | Enforcement boundary |
180
+ |---------|----------|----------------------|
181
+ | Reverse proxy | Supported model requests, responses, tool instructions, and client-reported tool results | Request preflight and fully buffered model responses |
182
+ | Hermes plugin | Host-reported `agent_start`, `agent_step`, and `agent_end` events | Optional host-callable pre-tool authorizer, recorded as `decision_point` |
183
+
184
+ The reverse proxy is a real boundary only for traffic that crosses it. It
185
+ cannot see an arbitrary local file read after the agent receives a response,
186
+ and an agent can bypass it if it still holds provider credentials. Stronger
187
+ deployments must isolate those credentials and block direct provider egress.
188
+ At the boundary itself, Panoptes rejects ambiguous JSON instead of guessing
189
+ which duplicate value should inform a policy decision.
190
+
191
+ For reliable cross-request timelines, adapters should send
192
+ `X-Panoptes-Session: <stable-session-id>`. Without it, each exchange is
193
+ isolated. `X-Panoptes-Agent` and session headers are client assertions, not
194
+ authenticated workload identities, and are removed before upstream forwarding.
195

196
+ ### Audit schema
197
+
198
+ ```json
199
+ {
200
+ "event_id": "uuid",
201
+ "timestamp": "2026-07-17T14:30:00.000Z",
202
+ "agent": {
203
+ "type": "claude_code",
204
+ "session_id": "abc123",
205
+ "run_id": "run456"
206
+ },
207
+ "event_type": "tool_call",
208
+ "action": {
209
+ "tool_name": "terminal",
210
+ "parameters": {"command": "kubectl get pods -n prod"},
211
+ "data_accessed": ["infra", "prod"]
212
+ },
213
+ "outcome": {
214
+ "status": "pending",
215
+ "summary": "Model proposed this tool call; local execution was not observed"
216
+ },
217
+ "context": {
218
+ "turn_number": 12,
219
+ "capture": {
220
+ "adapter": "http_proxy",
221
+ "observation_boundary": "model_api",
222
+ "execution_observed": false
223
+ }
224
+ },
225
+ "cost": {"tokens_in": 800, "tokens_out": 150}
226
+ }
227
+ ```
228
+
229
+ Before an event reaches disk, Panoptes validates its identifiers, timestamps,
230
+ outcomes, and costs; redacts common secret forms; and derives heuristic
231
+ data-access tags from the action. Those tags are useful inputs for local policy
232
+ and investigation, but they can be wrong. Treat both redaction and
233
+ classification as defense in depth, not as complete data-loss prevention.
234
+
235
+ Request events include complete bounded summaries of requested client-side,
236
+ provider-hosted, and unknown tool capabilities. Client-executed model tool
237
+ proposals remain `pending`; recognized provider-hosted actions record whether
238
+ they completed, failed, or remain pending upstream. Hosted result excerpts are
239
+ redacted and bounded. Unknown requested tool types are denied in
240
+ `fail_closed`; `fail_open` records and logs a warning.
241
+
242
+ ### Policy engine
243
+
244
+ Policies are YAML files in `~/.panoptes/policies/`:
245
+
246
+ ```yaml
247
+ name: "no-prod-access"
248
+ description: "Block tool calls classified as production access"
249
+ enabled: true
250
+ scope:
251
+ agents: ["*"]
252
+ rule:
253
+ event_type: "tool_call"
254
+ conditions:
255
+ - field: "action.data_accessed"
256
+ operator: "contains"
257
+ value: "prod"
258
+ logic: "AND"
259
+ action: block
260
+ message: "Production access blocked. Request approval first."
261
+ ```
262
+
263
+ - Operators: `==`, `!=`, `contains`, `in`, `matches`, `gt`, `lt`, `gte`, `lte`
264
+ - Logic: `AND` / `OR`
265
+ - Scopes: agent and session
266
+ - Actions: `allow`, `warn`, `block`
267
+ - Loading: one validated, content-digested policy set at startup; restart the
268
+ proxy after changing policy files
269
+ - Failure posture: explicit `fail_open` or `fail_closed`
270
+
271
+ Policies are strict on purpose. Unknown fields, malformed conditions, duplicate
272
+ YAML keys, an empty directory, or any invalid file make the set fail to load.
273
+ That turns a typo into a visible startup problem instead of a silently weaker
274
+ rule.
275
+
276
+ ## Supported Protocols and Adapters
277
+
278
+ | Protocol / adapter | Capture method | Boundary |
279
+ |--------------------|----------------|----------|
280
+ | Anthropic Messages API | Reverse proxy | Model API |
281
+ | OpenAI Chat Completions and Responses APIs | Reverse proxy | Model API |
282
+ | Gemini `generateContent` and `streamGenerateContent` | Reverse proxy | Model API |
283
+ | Hermes Agent | Native plugin | Host-reported lifecycle; optional pre-tool authorization |
284
+
285
+ An agent is proxy-compatible only if it lets you replace its model API base URL
286
+ and emits a supported protocol. That is not equivalent to a tested native
287
+ integration.
288
+
289
+ Current action parsing covers OpenAI function/custom/computer/shell/apply-patch
290
+ and hosted-tool output items, Anthropic client and server tool blocks, and
291
+ Gemini function, built-in tool, and code-execution parts. Unknown tool
292
+ declarations or response item types never become an implicit safe result:
293
+ `fail_closed` denies them, while `fail_open` records degraded inspection.
294
+ Provider features introduced after this release, including OpenAI programmatic
295
+ tool-calling output, require an adapter update and adversarial fixtures before
296
+ they are supported.

316
+
317
+ | Component | Status |
318
+ |-----------|--------|
319
+ | Model-API reverse proxy | Alpha |
320
+ | Hermes lifecycle plugin and authorizer API | Alpha |
321
+ | SQLite storage and local hash chain | Available; external checkpoints remain operator-managed |
322
+ | Query, policy, and integrity CLI | Available |
323
+ | YAML policy engine | Alpha |
324
+ | Mandatory local execution broker | Out of scope today |
325
+
326
+ The project targets Python 3.10 through 3.13 and runs its tests, distribution
327
+ validation, and wheel smoke test in GitHub Actions. Passing tests do not expand
328
+ the adapter guarantees described in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
329
+
330
+ Runtime dependencies are intentionally small: `httpx` and `PyYAML`.
331
+
332
+ ## Development
333
+
334
+ Create an environment, install the development extra, and run the suite:
335
+
336
+ ```bash
337
+ python -m venv .venv
338
+ source .venv/bin/activate
339
+ python -m pip install -e ".[dev,release]"
340
+ python -m pytest -q
341
+ python -m build
342
+ python -m twine check --strict dist/*
343
+ ```
344
+
345
+ The tests are local and network-independent. A change is ready to review when
346
+ the full suite passes and `git diff --check` is clean. Release ownership and
347
+ the tagged publishing flow are documented in [RELEASING.md](RELEASING.md).
348
+
349
+ ## Contributing
350
+
351
+ Bug reports, protocol fixtures, and focused adapters are welcome. The most
352
+ useful contributions strengthen an existing boundary: native pre-execution
353
+ adapters, external append-only audit sinks, signed policy distribution, and
354
+ adversarial provider fixtures. For security issues, please use the private
355
+ reporting path in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
