It intercepts tool calls in-flight, computes real-time blast-radius scores (0–100), quarentines dangerous actions, requires cryptographic human sign-off for high-risk operations, and records an immutable SHA-256 audit ledger. +- **Calls going out.** Each tool call is normalized (Unicode, URL-decoding, a 64 KB cap), scored by pluggable detectors, and + checked against a YAML policy that denies unknown tools by default.

This is how indirect prompt injection actually arrives. ---- +## Features -## ⚡ Key Features +| | | +|---|---| +| **Detectors** | Prompt injection / jailbreak (bounded regexes, base64), blast radius (shell parsed to argv, so `rm -r -f /`, `find / -delete` and `curl … \| sh` are caught under any tool name), argument validation (SSRF parsed with `ipaddress`: decimal/hex/octal/IPv6/v4-mapped/private ranges). Detectors are entry-point plugins; a crashing or slow detector fails closed. | +| **Policy** | One YAML schema (`sentinel/policies/default.yaml`), unknown keys rejected, profiles `default` / `dev` / `strict`. Unknown tools get `REQUIRE_APPROVAL` or `BLOCK`, never `ALLOW`. | +| **Human approval** | Each approval is bound to a SHA-256 digest of the exact call. The HMAC token expires and works once. Arguments swapped during the wait are refused. Approvals live in a shared SQLite store used by the API, dashboard, CLI and MCP proxy. Agent and approver keys are separate. Optional Slack-compatible webhook. | +| **Output guard + taint** | `inspect_result()` spotlights untrusted output. Per-session taint tracking gates high-risk sinks. | +| **Audit ledger** | Append-only JSONL, HMAC-SHA256 chained with sequence numbers and a signed head (detects edits, deletion, reordering, truncation), file-locked for concurrent writers, secrets redacted before writing. | +| **Integrations** | `sentinel mcp-proxy` (official MCP SDK) in front of any MCP server; an OpenAI-style function-calling wrapper; FastAPI server with `/metrics`; Streamlit dashboard as an API client. | -- **⚡ Sub-Millisecond Overhead (`0.06 ms`)**: 250x faster than enterprise SLA requirements (< 15ms), handling over 17,000 tool interceptions/sec. -- **🛡️ 3-Pillar Threat Detection**: - - `InjectionDetector`: Detects prompt overrides, DAN jailbreaks, hidden HTML/comment injections, and base64-obfuscated payloads. - - `BlastRadiusDetector`: Evaluates category risks, catastrophic commands, sensitive paths, and destructive SQL statements. - - `ArgumentValidator`: Enforces syntactic constraints against shell injection, path traversal, and AWS/GCP IMDS SSRF. -- **📬 Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Sandbox**: Quarantines high-risk tool calls with asynchronous approval queues accessible via CLI, Webhook REST API, or live Web Dashboard. -- **📜 Cryptographically Chained Audit Ledger**: Every action commits via SHA-256 hash chaining to historical logs (`audit.jsonl`), ensuring complete non-repudiation and tamper detection. -- **🔌 Drop-in Adapters**: Native support for **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, **OpenAI Function Calling**, and **LangChain/CrewAI** agent runtimes. -- **🖥️ Incident Response Dashboard**: Built-in Streamlit UI featuring live attack simulation, approval inbox, and cryptographic chain verification. - ---- - -## 🏗️ Architecture - -```mermaid -flowchart TD - User([User Prompt / Task]) --> Agent[Autonomous AI Agent] - UntrustedWeb[Untrusted Webpage / Ingested Doc] -.->|Indirect Injection| Agent - - Agent -->|Proposed Tool Call| Gateway[SentinelAgent Security Gateway] - - subgraph SentinelCore ["SentinelAgent Core Engine (< 0.1ms)"] - Parser[Tool & Parameter Validator] --> InjectionDetect[Prompt Injection & Jailbreak Detector] - InjectionDetect --> RiskMatrix[Blast Radius Scoring Engine 0-100] - RiskMatrix --> PolicyCheck{Risk Tier?} - end - - Gateway --> Parser - - PolicyCheck -->|Safe < 30| AutoExec[Allow Execution] - PolicyCheck -->|Suspicious 30-69| WarnExec[Sanitize & Alert Log] - PolicyCheck -->|Critical >= 70| HITL[Quarantine & Trigger Human Approval] - - HITL --> Notification[CLI Prompt / Webhook / Web UI] - Notification --> HumanDecision{Human Approver} - HumanDecision -->|Approved| AutoExec - HumanDecision -->|Rejected / Timeout| Abort[Block & Return Security Violation] - - AutoExec --> Ledger[(Immutable SHA-256 Audit Ledger)] - Abort --> Ledger - AutoExec --> RealTool[Actual Tool: Bash / DB / Browser / API] - RealTool --> Agent -``` - ---- - -## 🚀 Quickstart - -### 1.
