cerbia-core provides cerbia.core, the configurable pipeline used by CerbIA
integrations. It includes entries, loaders, preprocessors, scanners, score
aggregators, configuration models, Runner, and the SecurityGate protocol with
its SimpleGate and CascadeGate implementations.
Install
pip install cerbia-core
The core package requires Python 3.12 or later, Pydantic, and httpx2>=2.13.1,<3. It does not require
the optional ML or NLP runtimes; those capabilities are provided by separate
distributions.
Create and run a pipeline
This example creates a text loader, a keyword scanner, and a maximum score aggregator, then scans the configured entry:
from cerbia.core.config import (
LoaderConfig,
ScannerConfig,
ScoreAggregatorConfig,
SimpleGateConfig,
)
from cerbia.core.runner import Runner
config = SimpleGateConfig(
name="inline",
loaders=[LoaderConfig(loader="cerbia.core.loaders.TextLoader", init_args={"texts": "hello"})],
scanners=[ScannerConfig(scanner="cerbia.core.scanners.KeywordScanner")],
score_aggregator=ScoreAggregatorConfig(
score_aggregator="cerbia.core.score_aggregators.MaxScoreAggregator"
),
)
result = Runner(config).scan()
Runner requires at least one loader and scanner. It applies configured
preprocessors in order, then evaluates each resulting entry through the gate.
result.entry_results contains per-entry results, and result.is_safe reports
whether the complete run is safe.
