integrate-arcjet-guard-langchain-py

integrate-arcjet-guard-langchain-py is a skill for Claude Code from arcjet/arcjet-plugin. It costs 107 tokens per session (2,349 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of integrate-arcjet-guard-langchain-py, Apache-2.0.

A Python integration for Arcjet Guard, which checks tools and agent actions in LangChain. It can protect tools directly, apply policies to tools selected by an agent, or record chain activity without blocking it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with LangChain tools, create_agent workflows, or chains and agents that need Arcjet decisions or activity capture.
Why use it?
It helps control tool execution, rate-limit actions, screen inputs, block prompt injection, and capture activity for later inspection in LangChain applications.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

integrate-arcjet-guard-langchain-py scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Integrate Arcjet Guard into Python LangChain

arcjet.guard.langchain wraps the agent's existing Arcjet client. It never talks to the Arcjet API itself. Shared Guard fundamentals (client, rules, labels, decisions, capture, registration) live in ../arcjet/references/guards_python.md. Load that reference for anything that is not LangChain-specific.

Four surfaces, one decision rule:

  • Any Python callableguard_action / guard_action_sync in core arcjet.guard. No LangChain extra. Details in the shared Python Guard reference.
  • A LangChain BaseTool you call yourselfguard_tool. DENY raises ArcjetToolDeniedError (the tool's handle_tool_error may convert it).
  • create_agent (the model chooses tools)ArcjetMiddleware + ToolPolicy. Tools without a policy pass through.
  • Observe a chain or agentArcjetCaptureHandler / ArcjetAsyncCaptureHandler. These cannot deny.

This is Python create_agent. The merged page https://docs.arcjet.com/guards/langchain/ covers both languages — JS is @arcjet/guard/langchain/v1 (createAgent / wrapToolCall), not this module. It is not LangGraph JS StateGraph / ToolNode (docs https://docs.arcjet.com/guards/langgraph/). Importing arcjet.guard.langchain does not load LangGraph. Referencing ArcjetMiddleware or ToolPolicy without arcjet[langchain-agents] raises and names that extra.

Screen inbound before agent.ainvoke — there is no inbound helper

There is no inbound helper. Put prompt-injection (and other inbound rules) in the application with core aj.guard(...) before ainvoke / invoke. Core guard() fails open: ALLOW is not proof the rules ran. Gate on decision.has_failed_open() when this call site must fail closed. guard_tool / ArcjetMiddleware already default to that.

Capture handlers never block

LangChain ignores what a callback returns. ArcjetCaptureHandler only records. Policy lives in guard_action / guard_tool / ArcjetMiddleware.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
