Installation

The Glacis Python SDK provides cryptographic attestation for AI systems. Install it to prove what your AI did, what data it saw, and what controls were active — with zero data egress.

Requirements

Python 3.9 or higher
pip, poetry, or uv (Python package manager)

Install from PyPI

pip install glacis

poetry add glacis

uv pip install glacis

Verify Installation

import glacis

print(glacis.__version__)  # 0.5.0

Available Extras

Install extras to enable provider integrations, controls, and more:

# Single extra
pip install glacis[openai]

# Multiple extras
pip install glacis[openai,anthropic]

# Everything
pip install glacis[all]

poetry add "glacis[openai]"

uv pip install "glacis[openai]"

Extra	Includes	Use Case
`openai`	OpenAI SDK (`openai>=1.0.0`)	Auto-attesting OpenAI wrapper
`anthropic`	Anthropic SDK (`anthropic>=0.18.0`)	Auto-attesting Anthropic wrapper
`gemini`	Google GenAI SDK (`google-genai>=1.0.0`)	Auto-attesting Gemini wrapper
`redaction`	Presidio, spaCy, PyYAML	PII/PHI detection controls (scan-only, no text modification)
`jailbreak`	Transformers, PyTorch, PyYAML	Jailbreak and prompt injection detection
`controls`	`redaction` + `jailbreak` combined	All input/output controls
`all`	All of the above + dev tools	Full SDK with every integration and control

Getting an API Key

Visit glacis.io and sign up
Create an organization
Generate an API key (glsk_live_...)

Pass the key to the SDK when creating a client:

glacis = Glacis(api_key="glsk_live_your_key_here")

Next Steps

Quickstart Create your first attestation in under 5 minutes.

Configuration Set up glacis.yaml for controls, sampling, and storage.

OpenAI Integration Auto-attest every OpenAI call with zero code changes.

CLI Reference Verify receipts from the command line.
