Agent Paranoid Android¶

English · Русский

Create repeatable test datasets with useful relationships and business rules, without copying source rows. Start with a file, safe database metadata, or an explicit specification, then review the plan before generating fresh values.

Stable 1.6.0 is the recommended release. Use the CLI below or the runnable Python API example.

Five-Minute Check¶

python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android==1.6.0"
test-data-agent doctor
test-data-agent demo --output out/demo

The demo uses a bundled fictional fixture. After installation it needs no network, database or AI provider. A healthy installation reports:

quickstart smoke: ok
doctor passed

Choose Your Starting Point¶

Generation Or Transformation?¶

Synthetic generation creates new rows from a reviewed DatasetSpec. Use it for valid, boundary, load or controlled-invalid test cases. The normal process is profile, review the specification, generate, validate, then review the output.

Selective transformation keeps one-to-one correspondence with input rows and applies explicit field actions. Its result has mixed origin. Source-value preservation requires a non-sensitive field decision and fresh local-terminal approval of the exact inputs and plan; agents and MCP cannot issue it. Start with Transform Local Data.

Rules And Formats¶

Use business rules for formulas, field conditions, foreign keys and aggregate checks. The source/output matrix shows routes to CSV, JSON, Parquet and generated SQL. SQL export writes a file, not a database.

Advanced Integrations¶

AI, MCP, Containers, and Custom providers

Before Sharing A Dataset¶

Review the specification, validation reports and generation_manifest.json. For a valid synthetic dataset expect synthetic: true, source_rows_copied: false and validation_valid: true. These checks do not certify statistical anonymity or detect every sensitive value. Explicit mixed/negative datasets can intentionally fail validation.

Database access remains allowlisted, read-only and bounded. AI receives safe metadata, never raw PII, secrets or source rows. See the Safety Model and Troubleshooting.

For offline reading use Downloads. For another release use Documentation Versions. Maintainer and release records live in History And Maintenance.

Installation¶

English · Русский

Stable 1.6.0 is the recommended release. Its signed source, packages and containers passed public verification.

Requirements¶

• Python 3.11 or newer
• enough local disk space for the requested output
• a dedicated working directory for inputs and generated artifacts

The supported CI matrix covers CPython 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and 3.14. Python 3.11 remains the minimum so users can adopt newer interpreters without forcing existing environments to upgrade. The notice and release-gate rules for changing this matrix are defined in Runtime And Integration Support.

Read the migration notes before regenerating existing fixtures.

Install From PyPI¶

The stable release is 1.6.0; the commands below pin that exact version for reproducible installation.

Create an isolated environment:

macOS and Linux¶

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android==1.6.0"

The base package supports CSV, JSON, and deterministic PostgreSQL SQL export. Add only the source and format integrations you need:

python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[parquet]==1.6.0"
python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[mcp]==1.6.0"
python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[mcp,trino]==1.6.0"
python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[postgres]==1.6.0"
python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[openai]==1.6.0"
python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[gigachat]==1.6.0"

Dependency footprint budgets live in Dependency Compatibility.

The all extra remains available for development, demos, and container builds. It is not the recommended user installation. Use test-data-agent doctor --require-extra all to verify that full environment.

The experimental GigaChat adapter is retained in 1.6.0 through its explicit gigachat extra. Follow Use The GigaChat Advisor for authentication, mandatory TLS verification, and the review-first workflow. The default provider remains OpenAI.

Stable 1.6.0 is the recommended default. Add an optional extra to the same exact stable pin only when needed.

Windows PowerShell¶

py -3.11 -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android==1.6.0"

Run the self-contained environment check:

test-data-agent doctor

Expected final lines:

quickstart smoke: ok
doctor passed

doctor uses a temporary fictional fixture and makes no external calls. Use doctor --require-extra parquet (or another installed extra) for an offline capability check. See Troubleshooting for individual checks and CLI automation for JSON output.

For development setup use Contributing. For documentation builds use Publishing Documentation. Shell completion has its own reference.

Confirm The Installed Version¶

python3 -c "import test_data_agent; print(test_data_agent.__version__)"

The package name is agent-paranoid-android. The command remains test-data-agent.

Next Step¶

Use First CSV Dataset for one table, Related Tables for a folder containing one CSV per table, or Profile PostgreSQL for an allowlisted database.

First CSV Dataset¶

English · Русский

This tutorial profiles one CSV file, infers a generation specification, generates new values, and validates the result.

Prerequisites¶

• complete Installation;
• run commands from a clone of this repository so the synthetic fixture below is available;
• choose a new output directory.

The fixture contains fictional values and reserved example email domains.

For the same workflow as an executable script with its own synthetic fixture, run examples/csv_quickstart/run.sh.

Generate 25 Rows¶

test-data-agent generate-from-csv tests/fixtures/customers.csv \
  --count 25 \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --output out/customers.csv

Expected summary:

Generated synthetic dataset: out | rows: customers=25 | seed: 12345 | validation: passed | source rows copied: no

The exact output path shown in the summary can vary by platform.

Inspect The Bundle¶

The command writes:

out/
  customers.csv
  csv_profile.json
  dataset_spec.json
  generation_manifest.json
  validation_report.json

Check the manifest before using the data:

python3 -c "import json; m=json.load(open('out/generation_manifest.json')); print(m['synthetic'], m['source_rows_copied'], m['validation_valid'], m['seed'])"

Expected output:

True False True 12345

Open out/customers.csv and confirm that it contains 25 generated rows plus the header. Source rows are not shuffled or copied.

Reproduce The Result¶

Generate into a different path with the same seed:

test-data-agent generate-from-csv tests/fixtures/customers.csv \
  --count 25 \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --output out/repeated/customers.csv

The two generated CSV files should match:

python3 -c "from pathlib import Path; assert Path('out/customers.csv').read_bytes() == Path('out/repeated/customers.csv').read_bytes(); print('deterministic: ok')"

Use Your Own CSV¶

Replace the fixture path with your file:

test-data-agent generate-from-csv data/customers.csv \
  --count 100 \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --output out/customers.csv

Treat every source CSV as potentially sensitive. Do not share its contents, profile artifacts, or command logs until you have reviewed them. The profiler suppresses raw values for fields detected as sensitive, but ambiguous domain fields still require human review.

Exact values remain replaced by default. When customers.status has been reviewed as a bounded non-sensitive business enum, authorize only that field:

test-data-agent generate-from-csv tests/fixtures/customers.csv \
  --local-category customers.status \
  --count 25 \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --output out/approved-status/customers.csv

The request fails closed if the field contains PII, secrets, identifiers, quasi-identifiers, free text, excessive cardinality, or long values. The option does not authorize any other field or any external-provider destination.

Review ambiguous identifiers and financial columns before accepting inferred keys or distributions. For exact category limits, distinct-count evidence and identifier behavior, see CSV Profiling Details.

Next, read Review The Output.

Related Tables¶

English · Русский

Use this workflow when a folder contains one CSV file per related table. The file stem becomes the entity name.

Input Layout¶

example_dataset/
  customers.csv
  orders.csv

The checked-in fixture already has this shape.

For an executable version with synthetic inputs and business rules, run examples/relational_csv/run.sh.

Generate The Dataset¶

test-data-agent generate-from-example tests/fixtures/example_dataset \
  --count 25 \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --output out/example_dataset

Expected summary:

Generated synthetic dataset: out/example_dataset | rows: customers=25, orders=25 | seed: 12345 | validation: passed | source rows copied: no

The output contains:

out/example_dataset/
  customers.csv
  orders.csv
  profile.json
  dataset_spec.yaml
  generation_manifest.json
  validation_report.json

Review The Relationship¶

Open out/example_dataset/dataset_spec.yaml and locate relationships. The inferred customer/order relationship should name:

parent_entity: customers
parent_field: customer_id
child_entity: orders
child_field: customer_id

The generator creates new parent identifiers first and assigns child foreign keys from those generated values. Source identifiers are not reused.

Run The Stages Separately¶

Use separate commands when the inferred specification needs review or editing:

test-data-agent profile-example tests/fixtures/example_dataset \
  --output out/profile.json

test-data-agent infer-spec out/profile.json \
  --count 25 \
  --output out/dataset_spec.yaml

test-data-agent generate out/dataset_spec.yaml \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --output out/generated

test-data-agent validate out/dataset_spec.yaml out/generated \
  --output out/generated/validation_report.json

Do not generate until a reviewer accepts inferred relationships and constraints for a new domain.

To preserve one reviewed local enum across the staged workflow, pass the same field-scoped selector while profiling:

test-data-agent profile-example tests/fixtures/example_dataset \
  --local-category orders.status \
  --output out/profile-with-status.json

orders.cancellation_reason is free text and is not eligible. The allowlist does not copy source rows or expose exact values to external advisors or default MCP responses.

See Profiles And Specs for the purpose of each stage.

Review The Output¶

English · Русский

A successful command is not the end of the review. Use the artifacts in the bundle to decide whether the synthetic dataset is safe and useful.

This page describes synthetic-generation bundles. The gated mixed-origin transformation workflow has a separate review contract: validation does not make its output synthetic, and action provenance and any required exact-snapshot local preservation receipt must also be checked. See Selective Transformation.

Review Order¶

1. Read generation_manifest.json.
2. Read validation_report.json.
3. Read business_validation_report.json when business rules were supplied.
4. Review the effective dataset_spec.yaml or dataset_spec.json.
5. Inspect a small sample of generated rows.

Manifest Checks¶

For a valid synthetic dataset, require all of these conditions:

{
  "synthetic": true,
  "source_rows_copied": false,
  "validation_valid": true
}

Also confirm:

• seed is the value requested by the caller;
• row_counts match the requested scale;
• output_format is correct;
• package_version and dataset_spec_schema_version are recorded;
• spec_sha256 is present;
• business_validation.rules_sha256 and its summary are present when rules were used.
• effective_rules binds generation mode, validation settings, relationship, constraint, and distribution counts to the exact spec and business-rule fingerprints without repeating rule values.

Validation Report¶

validation_report.json reports deterministic checks for:

• entity and field schema;
• primary-key uniqueness;
• relationships and foreign keys;
• field and row constraints;
• temporal and formula constraints;
• aggregate reconciliation.

Do not treat a missing report as success. A failed valid-mode run is not an accepted dataset. Explicit mixed/negative test generation may retain intentionally invalid rows and their failed validation report in a supported output format; the CLI reports validation_failed and exit 1. Do not relabel that result valid. Parquet negative datasets use explicitly marked scalar columns when malformed cells cannot fit native Arrow types. The bundle reader restores those cells for validation; their report remains invalid. Ordinary incompatible typed values still reject the entire export without partial publication. Keep the specification, manifest and encoding metadata described in the source/output matrix. Privacy failures never authorize publication of source values.

These synthetic manifest checks do not apply to the separately gated selective transformation workflow. Its bundle records mixed origin, action provenance and any exact-input preservation authority; it must not claim fully synthetic or anonymous output. Transformation validation failure prevents publication. See the execution contract.

Assurance Levels¶

Interpret each result at its actual level:

validation_valid: true means the enabled deterministic checks passed. It is not a privacy certificate. Name- and value-based detection is heuristic and can produce false negatives, especially for domain identifiers, quasi-identifiers, rare categories, and free text. This project does not assign an anonymity, differential-privacy, or re-identification-resistance level.

Profile Review¶

Profiles should contain metadata such as types, null ratios, ranges, percentiles, approximate distinct counts, safe low-cardinality distributions, and masked patterns.

Stop and investigate if a profile contains:

• a real email address, phone number, token, credential, or private key;
• a source row copied as a nested object or list;
• rare free-text values that could identify a person;
• an unexpected identifier distribution.

Generated-Row Review¶

Inspect generated data for domain usefulness, but do not compare or publish raw source rows during that review. For sensitive domains, perform review in the same protected environment as the source data.

Current CSV bundles declare csv_encoding: backslash-null-v1 in their manifest. String cells and headers that could be spreadsheet formulas receive a reversible \F marker; null is \N, empty text stays empty, and literal leading backslashes are doubled. Numeric values, including negative numbers, remain numeric. Keep the manifest for schema-aware bundle decoding; legacy unmarked CSV retains its previous interpretation. Artifact names supplied through public workflows must be one safe filename component; separators and parent-directory components are rejected before any artifact is written. Formula failures expose only fixed local reasons, never expressions, values, or nested exception text.

Re-run with the same spec, rules, package version, and seed when reproducibility is required. A change to any of those inputs can legitimately change output.

See Safety Model for guarantees and limitations.

Add Business Rules¶

English · Русский

Use structured YAML or JSON when generated rows must satisfy domain rules. The deterministic rule engine applies and validates the rules; an LLM is not the enforcement mechanism.

For a complete annotated format, see the runnable business-rules reference, including all rule families, condition operators, formula modes, aggregates, scenarios and a matching DatasetSpec. The standalone JSON Schema is generated from the runtime model.

Create A Rule File¶

The checked-in example at examples/orders_rules.yaml contains:

field_rules:
  - table: orders
    field: status
    required: true
    allowed_values: [paid, cancelled]
  - table: orders
    field: amount
    required: true
    min_value: 0

row_rules:
  - type: temporal_ordering
    table: orders
    start_field: created_at
    end_field: fulfilled_at
    allow_equal: true

  - type: formula
    table: orders
    field: amount
    expression: quantity * unit_price

Rule references must match fields in the effective DatasetSpec. Unknown keys, tables, fields, rule types, and formula syntax are rejected.

Prepare A Reviewed Spec¶

test-data-agent profile-example tests/fixtures/example_dataset \
  --output out/rules/profile.json

test-data-agent infer-spec out/rules/profile.json \
  --count 25 \
  --output out/rules/dataset_spec.yaml

Review out/rules/dataset_spec.yaml, then generate with rules:

test-data-agent generate out/rules/dataset_spec.yaml \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --business-rules examples/orders_rules.yaml \
  --output out/rules/generated

Review:

out/rules/generated/
  business_validation_report.json
  generation_manifest.json
  validation_report.json

The generation manifest records a normalized rule fingerprint, rule counts, pass/fail counts, truncation status, overall business validity, and bounded expected-versus-observed violation counts.

Supported Rule Categories¶

Generate Controlled Invalid Cases¶

Use an explicit generation mode:

test-data-agent generate out/rules/dataset_spec.yaml \
  --count 100 \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --mode mixed \
  --invalid-ratio 0.02 \
  --business-rules examples/orders_rules.yaml \
  --output out/rules/mixed_cases

With business rules, mixed uses seeded random row selection at the requested invalid ratio and attempts an eligible rule violation for each selected row. The ratio is not an exact count of failed cells or rules. negative attempts eligible violations for every row; it does not make every field invalid, and tables without an applicable mutation can remain valid. Keep these datasets clearly separated from valid fixtures and review the validation report rather than expecting it to pass.

For tables with several field and row rules, selected rows are distributed deterministically across required, allowed-value, numeric-bound, conditional, temporal, and formula violations. Reusing the same seed, mode, ratio, and rule file reproduces the same negative cases. Foreign-key violations use synthetic missing parent keys without changing the parent table. Aggregate-formula violations change only the configured concrete numeric field. Count-style aggregate rules with field: "*" are validation-only because changing row counts would also break the dataset shape.

One selected invalid mutation can break several overlapping rules. The engine audits the affected row before and after mutation and includes newly broken local rules in the expected counts. Cross-table rules are checked before and after the injection pass; newly broken rules with a valid baseline are also counted. Injection requires a valid business-rule baseline and refuses an already invalid baseline before introducing negative cases. Standalone validation still reports unplanned failures as unexpected. An injection that does not break its selected rule still reports a missing expected failure. These audits share the normal work and deadline budgets.

The business validation report compares expected and observed violations per rule. unexpected_violation_count identifies failures that were not selected by controlled invalid generation; missing_expected_violation_count identifies selected cases that validation did not observe. expectations_met is true only when both counts are zero. These fields contain counts only, never generated row values.

Reproduce The Same Cases Through CLI And MCP¶

The checked-in examples/negative_cases/ bundle fixes the spec, rule file, seed (1300), mode (mixed), and invalid ratio (0.5). Run it through CLI:

test-data-agent generate examples/negative_cases/dataset_spec.yaml \
  --seed 1300 \
  --mode mixed \
  --invalid-ratio 0.5 \
  --format json \
  --business-rules examples/negative_cases/business_rules.yaml \
  --output out/negative-cli

The MCP equivalent uses the same files after copying the example bundle below the configured generator workspace. The mode and invalid ratio are already recorded in dataset_spec.yaml:

{
  "name": "generate_dataset",
  "arguments": {
    "spec_path": "negative_cases/dataset_spec.yaml",
    "output_folder": "negative-mcp",
    "output_format": "json",
    "seed": 1300,
    "business_rules_path": "negative_cases/business_rules.yaml"
  }
}

Both paths produce identical synthetic row files and matching expected versus observed violation counts. Use separate empty output folders when repeating the example.

Safety Restrictions¶

Do not put real identifiers, emails, phone numbers, addresses, credentials, tokens, or other production literals into rule files. Sensitive-looking literals are rejected by CLI and MCP entry points.

Formula syntax is a bounded arithmetic subset, not Python or SQL. Rule payload size, expression complexity, and estimated row/rule evaluations are limited.

See Configuration for adjustable limits.

Generation ranges and business invariants¶

A field's distribution describes sampling. A formula in assign mode computes and replaces its target; its result may leave that sampling range. The report records assignment-domain checks and violations separately from business-rule validity. Declare a field rule with min_value/max_value when the result must obey an invariant. Formula check mode validates existing values without assigning them; use it when replacement would hide the condition you intend to test. The complete runnable reference linked above includes both modes and conditional predicates, including null and inclusive range checks.

Scenario weights are relative probabilities, not exact row quotas or predicates that automatically bind a scenario to source rows. A passing rule report checks declared rules; it does not establish source fidelity or discover missing rules. Entity-attribute-value inputs are not automatically pivoted into business fields. Model the desired entities and declare relationships/rules explicitly before using the generation command above.

Conditional formulas and synthetic EAV models¶

A formula accepts an optional typed when condition in either assign or check mode. A false condition skips the expression entirely, so an unselected branch cannot divide by zero or overwrite a sampled value. Reports distinguish eligible_row_count, evaluated_row_count and skipped_row_count; skipped rows are not passed checks. Rules without when retain their old serialization, fingerprints and behavior. An explicit null condition value uses the existing condition semantics: equals: null selects null/missing, numeric ranges do not. A predicate field absent from the DatasetSpec rejects before generation.

row_rules:
  - type: formula
    table: observations
    field: value
    when: {field: attribute, equals: ratio}
    expression: numerator / divisor

Predicate fields cannot be row-rule assignment/repair targets. Multiple assigning formulas for one target require provably disjoint equals/in_values predicates on the same field; overlapping or unprovable branches reject before generation. Legacy unconditional assignments retain their previous order. Expressions keep the existing bounded arithmetic and exact DECIMAL rules; conditions share the same privacy checks, work allowance and deadline.

The runnable synthetic EAV example uses a reviewed ratio/total vocabulary, generated identifier domains and two disjoint exact-decimal formulas. Vocabulary and formulas are authored independently of source rows. Each observation has one attribute/value; no source pivot, source-key retention or duplicate merge occurs. Missing observations differ from nullable values. Declare entity/attribute uniqueness separately if required; the example intentionally permits repeated generated pairs.

Profile PostgreSQL¶

English · Русский

Database profiling is available in stable 1.6.0 and requires explicit read-only configuration, allowlists and resource budgets.

Install the optional driver:

pip install "agent-paranoid-android[postgres]"

Configure one explicit read-only scope. The password setting names another environment variable; it is not the password itself.

export POSTGRES_SOURCE_ID=warehouse
export POSTGRES_HOST=db.example.internal
export POSTGRES_DATABASE=analytics
export POSTGRES_USER=test_data_agent
export POSTGRES_PASSWORD_ENV=WAREHOUSE_PASSWORD
export WAREHOUSE_PASSWORD='replace-in-your-shell'
export POSTGRES_ALLOWED_SCHEMAS=public
export POSTGRES_ALLOWED_TABLES=public.customers,public.orders
export POSTGRES_ALLOWED_COLUMNS=public.customers.customer_id,public.customers.status,public.orders.order_id,public.orders.customer_id,public.orders.state,public.orders.amount

For an intentionally table-wide aggregate profile, an entry may instead use the exact schema.table.* form:

export POSTGRES_ALLOWED_COLUMNS='public.customers.*,public.orders.*'

The parent tables must still appear exactly in POSTGRES_ALLOWED_TABLES. Before any aggregate runs, bounded PostgreSQL catalog metadata expands each wildcard into a frozen, sorted explicit-column snapshot. Profiling queries enumerate quoted column identifiers; they never execute SELECT *. Bare, schema-wide, table-name, embedded, or over-budget wildcards fail closed.

Declared single-column integer and string primary keys are recognized regardless of their name (for example, ticket_no or record_code). Generation uses fresh synthetic identifiers; it does not preserve source keys. Sensitive key fields retain their sensitivity classification. Reprofile saved artifacts to obtain this metadata behavior.

Composite primary keys are currently unsupported: profiling rejects them before aggregate scans, including when the column allowlist exposes only part of the key. It never treats one component as a complete unique key. Other primary-key types require an independently reviewed generation specification. Review the complete relational constraints explicitly when authoring that specification; automatic inference does not support composite uniqueness.

If a platform portal supplies a JDBC endpoint, replace only the separate host, port, database, and TLS settings with a credential-free JDBC-style URL:

export POSTGRES_JDBC_URL='jdbc:postgresql://db.example.internal:5432/analytics?sslmode=verify-full'

Keep POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD_ENV, every allowlist, and every budget separate. Userinfo, passwords, unknown query properties, and session-changing options in the URL fail before a connection is opened. This syntax is parsed into the existing Psycopg adapter; Java and JDBC drivers are not used. If both URL and component settings are present, explicitly supplied values must match.

PostgreSQL connections now default to verify-full, which verifies the server certificate and configured hostname. Configure a trusted CA certificate through the Psycopg/libpq trust-root configuration (for example PGSSLROOTCERT) and use a hostname covered by the certificate. Existing installations using the former require default must configure trust before upgrading. Connection failure does not fall back to a weaker mode. Explicit require, verify-ca, or disable requires POSTGRES_ALLOW_INSECURE=true and is intended only for isolated local testing; these modes do not provide full server identity verification.

The database role must already be read-only. The client also requests a read-only transaction, TLS, statement and lock timeouts, and bounded aggregate results. It accepts no arbitrary SQL and never profiles source rows.

Table profiling retains observed minimum/maximum bounds for non-sensitive date and timestamp columns in the existing column-summary query. Inferred generation uses those ranges; timestamp offsets are retained. Sensitive-name columns do not expose date bounds, and all-null columns have none. Invalid or inconsistently typed bounds fail profiling rather than silently inventing a period. Missing bounds elsewhere still require review; this table-profile behavior does not imply date-bound support for profile-query.

Create a safe profile, review a generation specification, generate, and validate. Output paths must not already exist unless the command explicitly supports --overwrite:

test-data-agent profile-postgres --output out/postgres-profile.json
test-data-agent infer-spec out/postgres-profile.json --output out/dataset-spec.yaml
test-data-agent generate out/dataset-spec.yaml --seed 12345 --output out/generated
test-data-agent validate out/dataset-spec.yaml out/generated
test-data-agent export-postgres-sql out/dataset-spec.yaml --seed 12345 --output out/generated.sql

Run the SQL only in the intended local or disposable target database:

psql --set ON_ERROR_STOP=1 --dbname synthetic_target --file out/generated.sql

The SQL file contains one transaction, deterministic quoted CREATE TABLE, foreign-key, and INSERT statements, PostgreSQL scalar literals, and NULL. It is built from validated generated records, not profile query rows. Render or validation failure leaves no partial output file. Repeating export with the same reviewed spec, seed, package, and recorded environment produces the same logical SQL; compare files directly when verifying one environment:

test-data-agent export-postgres-sql out/dataset-spec.yaml \
  --seed 12345 --output out/generated-second.sql
cmp out/generated.sql out/generated-second.sql

To profile a reviewed relation without creating a database view, put one fully qualified single-table query in a local file:

SELECT o.order_id, o.state, o.amount AS amount
FROM public.orders AS o
WHERE o.order_id < 999999

Keep the same physical schema/table/column allowlists and run:

test-data-agent profile-query query.sql \
  --adapter postgres \
  --source-id warehouse \
  --entity orders_query \
  --output out/query-profile.json
test-data-agent infer-spec out/query-profile.json \
  --output out/query-spec.yaml
test-data-agent generate out/query-spec.yaml \
  --seed 12345 --output out/query-generated
test-data-agent validate out/query-spec.yaml out/query-generated

This generation walkthrough uses direct columns and aliases, all explicitly allowed above. A derived expression such as amount * 2 can be profiled under the SQL policy, but automatic infer-spec rejects profiles with unsupported expression dependencies. Do not infer that the expression is translated into a generation formula; review a separate supported specification instead.

The query is parsed locally and must stay inside the documented scalar, projection, and filter subset. A no-row schema probe and bounded aggregate wrappers execute in the forced read-only session. The profile contains a query fingerprint but not the SQL text, its literal, backend messages, or query rows.

The equivalent typed Python entry point keeps the query path and database configuration explicit:

from pathlib import Path

import psycopg

from test_data_agent import (
    SqlQueryAdapter,
    SqlQueryProfileRequest,
    profile_postgres_query_source,
)
from test_data_agent.postgres_config import PostgresConfig

request = SqlQueryProfileRequest(
    adapter=SqlQueryAdapter.POSTGRES,
    source_id="warehouse",
    entity="orders_query",
    query_file=Path("query.sql"),
)
profile = profile_postgres_query_source(
    request,
    config=PostgresConfig.from_env(),
    driver=psycopg,
)

Exact values remain disabled by default. A bounded, reviewed, non-sensitive business enum can be kept locally with its source-qualified identity:

test-data-agent profile-postgres \
  --local-category warehouse.public.orders.state \
  --output out/postgres-profile.json

PII, secrets, identifiers, quasi-identifiers, free text, excessive cardinality, and long values fail closed. Original literals are not sent to providers, MCP, logs, or errors. A column wildcard is not a local-value policy: exact values are considered only when the separate, fully qualified --local-category selector is present and its content checks pass.

The selector authorizes only the bounded value domain and aggregate counts. It does not retain source row order or a mapping that reconstructs source rows. The generated SQL may contain approved values because its input is the validated synthetic dataset.

The same profiling boundary is available from Python:

import psycopg

from test_data_agent.postgres_client import PostgresClient
from test_data_agent.postgres_config import PostgresConfig
from test_data_agent import generate_dataset, infer_dataset_spec, validate_dataset
from test_data_agent.postgres_profiler import dataset_profile_from_postgres

config = PostgresConfig.from_env()
profile = dataset_profile_from_postgres(PostgresClient(config, psycopg))
spec = infer_dataset_spec(profile)
# Review or edit spec here before generation.
rows = generate_dataset(spec, seed=12345)
report = validate_dataset(rows, spec)
assert report.valid

Keep profile and generated artifacts local unless their destination policy explicitly permits otherwise.

For a complete synthetic end-to-end check against a temporary local PostgreSQL cluster, run the examples/local_postgres example. It creates a SELECT-only role, proves that writes are denied, profiles two related tables, validates deterministic generation, executes the exported SQL in an empty target database, and removes the cluster. Run examples/local_postgres/run-jdbc.sh OUTPUT for the same workflow configured by a placeholder JDBC-style URL, or examples/local_postgres/run-wildcard.sh OUTPUT for bounded table-qualified wildcard expansion. Run examples/local_postgres/run-query.sh OUTPUT for the reviewed query-file path.

Profile Through Trino¶

Database profiling is available in stable 1.6.0 and requires explicit read-only configuration, allowlists and resource budgets.

Install the optional Trino client and, when using MCP, the MCP SDK:

pip install "agent-paranoid-android[trino]"
pip install "agent-paranoid-android[mcp,trino]"

Stable 1.6.0 supports Basic, JWT, Kerberos, GSSAPI, OAuth2 and client certificates are documented in the configuration reference. Follow its runtime secret-indirection, HTTPS verification and local OAuth opt-in rules. Local contract tests do not establish remote authentication compatibility.

Configure an explicit read-only scope:

export TRINO_HOST=trino.example.internal
export TRINO_PORT=8443
export TRINO_USER=test_data_agent
export TRINO_HTTP_SCHEME=https
export TRINO_ALLOWED_CATALOGS=warehouse
export TRINO_ALLOWED_SCHEMAS=analytics
export TRINO_ALLOWED_TABLE_COLUMNS='warehouse.analytics.orders.*'
export TRINO_DEPLOYMENT_PROFILE=shared-hardened
export TRINO_MAX_INVOCATION_ESTIMATED_SCAN_BYTES=1073741824

TRINO_ALLOWED_TABLE_COLUMNS is optional for compatibility. When set, an entry is either one exact catalog.schema.table.column or the exact catalog.schema.table.* form. Wildcards require restricted mode and catalog and schema membership in the mandatory allowlists. Bounded information_schema metadata is validated and sorted before the first table aggregate; the complete column budget is charged in preflight. Executed profiling SQL still quotes explicit columns and never projects *.

The same endpoint and optional request defaults can come from a credential-free JDBC-style URL:

export TRINO_JDBC_URL='jdbc:trino://trino.example.internal:8443/warehouse/analytics?SSL=true'
export TRINO_USER=test_data_agent
export TRINO_ALLOWED_CATALOGS=warehouse
export TRINO_ALLOWED_SCHEMAS=analytics

The catalog and schema path must match the allowlists. Credentials, tokens, roles, session properties, proxies, headers, unknown properties, and SSL=false fail before client construction. This is parsed into the Python Trino client; it does not install or invoke Java or a JDBC driver. Explicit component settings may coexist only when their values agree.

The default aggregate-only MCP tools list allowlisted metadata, describe tables, and compute bounded aggregate profiles. They do not return source rows or raw category literals. Table and column profiling share cumulative statement, column, deadline, response, and optional scan budgets.

A wildcard authorizes aggregate profiling scope only. It does not authorize category literals, preserve-as-is, caller SQL stars, row-returning tools, provider payloads, default MCP literals, logs, or errors. Exact table-column entries retain their existing bounded category-summary policy.

Check that the Trino capability is installed, then start the MCP server:

test-data-agent doctor --require-extra trino
test-data-agent-mcp-trino

doctor checks the installed driver, safe-SQL support and configured deployment budget profile using a local smoke check. It does not validate the selected endpoint, authentication or catalog/schema allowlists, or contact Trino. Server startup and tool calls enforce their respective configuration and access checks; a successful local doctor check does not prove database access.

The explicit opt-in run_safe_select surface is disabled by default. Enabling it is a separate row-privacy contract: every string is recursively masked, but allowed non-string source values may remain, so its output is not source-free, anonymous, or a generated dataset.

Use the checked-in disposable example for a complete profile-to-generation workflow over Trino's synthetic TPC-H tiny catalog:

examples/local_trino/run.sh /tmp/agent-paranoid-trino-example

Use examples/local_trino/run-jdbc.sh OUTPUT to run the identical disposable workflow with its endpoint and tpch/tiny defaults supplied in JDBC syntax. Use examples/local_trino/run-wildcard.sh OUTPUT to exercise bounded tpch.tiny.nation.* expansion and deterministic field ordering. Use examples/local_trino/run-query.sh OUTPUT to profile one reviewed local SELECT as a virtual entity. Query-source mode additionally requires exact TRINO_ALLOWED_TABLE_COLUMNS entries or a table-qualified wildcard and rejects unrestricted mode. It stores a fingerprint, not query text, literals, backend messages, endpoints, or result rows.

The typed Python entry point uses the same environment configuration and policy boundary:

from pathlib import Path

import trino

from test_data_agent import (
    SqlQueryAdapter,
    SqlQueryProfileRequest,
    profile_trino_query_source,
)
from test_data_agent.trino_config import TrinoConfig

request = SqlQueryProfileRequest(
    adapter=SqlQueryAdapter.TRINO,
    source_id="warehouse",
    entity="nation_query",
    query_file=Path("query.sql"),
)
profile = profile_trino_query_source(
    request,
    config=TrinoConfig.from_env(),
    driver=trino,
)

The example removes its container on success or failure and leaves only the safe profile, reviewed spec, generated rows, validation report, manifest, and a bounded result summary. See Configuration and MCP Tools for the full limits and tool contracts.

MCP with a username and password¶

Select TRINO_AUTH_METHOD=basic explicitly for username/password login. The default is none: setting TRINO_USER alone does not send a password. TRINO_AUTH_SECRET_ENV holds the name of the password environment variable, not the password. Basic requires verified HTTPS, including local deployments.

1. Prepare the environment and access¶

python3 -m venv /ABSOLUTE/PATH/trino-env
/ABSOLUTE/PATH/trino-env/bin/python -m pip install 'agent-paranoid-android[mcp,trino]'
/ABSOLUTE/PATH/trino-env/bin/test-data-agent --version
/ABSOLUTE/PATH/trino-env/bin/test-data-agent doctor --require-extra trino

Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH with your absolute path. Doctor checks local installation, not server login. Obtain the HTTPS host/port, login, approved catalog/schema/table/ column scope and read-only metadata/aggregate grants from your Trino administrator. The MCP process needs network access, any required VPN and a trusted certificate chain. A corporate CA must be trusted by the Python/runtime environment; keep certificate verification enabled.

2. Supply the password to the process¶

If your MCP client supports protected secret injection into child-process environment variables, configure MY_TRINO_PASSWORD there. Keep the password out of JSON, repositories, command arguments and chat. A graphical application may not inherit terminal variables, and a .env file is not loaded automatically. Restart the MCP server after changing its environment.

A complete macOS option: use Keychain Access to create a password item named agent-paranoid-android-trino, with its account matching TRINO_USER and your password. Save this script as /ABSOLUTE/PATH/start-trino-mcp.sh, replacing the path to the installed server:

#!/bin/bash
# Resolve the password locally; reserve stdout for the MCP protocol.
if ! MY_TRINO_PASSWORD=$(/usr/bin/security find-generic-password \
    -s agent-paranoid-android-trino -a "$TRINO_USER" -w 2>/dev/null); then
  printf '%s\n' 'Trino password is unavailable in Keychain' >&2
  exit 1
fi
export MY_TRINO_PASSWORD
exec /ABSOLUTE/PATH/trino-env/bin/test-data-agent-mcp-trino

Run chmod 700 /ABSOLUTE/PATH/start-trino-mcp.sh. Allow local access to that item if macOS prompts. Do not enable set -x or print the password. This launcher resolves the secret at startup without relying on a GUI application's inherited environment. On other operating systems use the client's protected storage or a local secret mechanism.

3. Register the server in your MCP client¶

This is the common mcpServers shape; the settings location depends on the client. Replace all fictional endpoints, usernames and data names locally. This example uses the Keychain launcher from the previous step:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trino": {
      "command": "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/start-trino-mcp.sh",
      "env": {
        "TRINO_HOST": "trino.example.internal",
        "TRINO_PORT": "443",
        "TRINO_HTTP_SCHEME": "https",
        "TRINO_USER": "your_login",
        "TRINO_AUTH_METHOD": "basic",
        "TRINO_AUTH_SECRET_ENV": "MY_TRINO_PASSWORD",
        "TRINO_ALLOWED_CATALOGS": "warehouse",
        "TRINO_ALLOWED_SCHEMAS": "analytics",
        "TRINO_ALLOWED_TABLE_COLUMNS": "warehouse.analytics.orders.*",
        "TRINO_DEPLOYMENT_PROFILE": "shared-hardened",
        "TRINO_MAX_INVOCATION_ESTIMATED_SCAN_BYTES": "1073741824"
      }
    }
  }
}

When the client securely supplies MY_TRINO_PASSWORD instead of using Keychain, set command directly to /ABSOLUTE/PATH/trino-env/bin/test-data-agent-mcp-trino. Secret substitution is client-specific: ${MY_TRINO_PASSWORD} in JSON is not a universal substitution mechanism.

TRINO_HOST is a host name without a URL scheme or path; use the actual HTTPS port. Catalog/schema allowlists are mandatory comma-separated sets. Column scope is optional for ordinary table profiling, but required for profile-query. You may replace warehouse.analytics.orders.* with comma-separated exact columns. The wildcard permits bounded aggregate profiling only, grants no source-row access and does not replace Trino grants.

The cumulative scan limit shown is 1 GiB per invocation. Existing defaults also bound request timeout to 30 seconds, execution time to 30 seconds, run time to 45 seconds and scanning to 1 GiB per query. TRINO_CATALOG and TRINO_SCHEMA are optional defaults within the allowlists. See the configuration reference for all settings.

4. Verify startup and diagnose failures¶

Restart the server in your MCP client and check that Trino tools appear. Start with an allowed metadata tool such as list_catalogs, then describe_table for an approved table. Process startup and Doctor success do not prove authentication. These instructions are checked locally against configuration contracts, not against your remote server.

For a 401, check basic, the variable referenced by TRINO_AUTH_SECRET_ENV, the login and process restart locally. For a 403, check server grants and access policy; a status alone does not establish the exact cause. For TLS failures, check the endpoint and certificate trust.

For support share the package version, launch method, TRINO_AUTH_METHOD, TRINO_HTTP_SCHEME, whether a login and secret reference are set, whether the password variable reaches the process, and whether another client can log in. Do not share login/password values, complete .env files, connection URLs, source rows or raw driver responses.

Authentication failures¶

For a failed connection, record the installed package version and selected TRINO_AUTH_METHOD locally. Share only those details when investigating a failure; do not share passwords, tokens, connection URLs or raw driver responses. A reported HTTP 401 alone does not identify a configuration or compatibility issue.

SQL-query profiling converts untyped HTTP 401/403 and TLS failures into the fixed SQL query source profiling failed error, without retaining the original exception cause or context. The CLI keeps its external_service category and leaves an existing output artifact unchanged. MCP returns its fixed Trino error and records value-free audit diagnostics. These boundaries do not establish successful authentication against a particular server.

Transform Local Data¶

English · Русский

Use selective transformation when each output row must correspond to an input row. Unlike synthetic generation, the result has mixed origin and may contain explicitly replaced or approved preserved source values. Treat the destination as potentially sensitive; validation is not an anonymity certificate.

Choose An Action For Each Field¶

For an unmatched mapping, select rejection, synthesis or eligible preservation explicitly. A preserve fallback has the same approval requirements as direct preservation. Explicit mapped replacements may equal another source value, including a sensitive permutation; this is not permission for implicit copying. Mapping values never belong in logs, summaries, provider requests or MCP replies.

Review Before Execution¶

1. Prepare a valid behavior policy, source and any local mapping files. Use a new destination distinct from every input.
2. Run transform-review SOURCE POLICY.yaml. Review the value-free field decisions and record the displayed snapshot_sha256.
3. To edit an already valid policy locally, use transform-review SOURCE POLICY.yaml --decide --edit-actions, then SAVE. Review the saved bytes again. Saving is not approval.
4. If any action preserves values, obtain the receipt in your own interactive local terminal with transform-approve SOURCE POLICY.yaml RECEIPT --snapshot-sha256 SHA.
5. Execute with transform-execute SOURCE POLICY.yaml DESTINATION --snapshot-sha256 SHA, adding --receipt RECEIPT when required. Inspect provenance and validation.

SOURCE, POLICY.yaml, RECEIPT, DESTINATION and SHA above are placeholders, not a ready-to-run dataset approval. Use installed COMMAND --help for options. Never supply real data to a provider while preparing the policy.

Conditions For Preservation¶

Every preserved field needs an explicit non-sensitive decision, no positive or conflicting sensitivity evidence, and a bounded operator comment. Sensitive, unknown and disputed fields remain blocked. DECIMAL preservation is blocked by default. Approval binds the exact source, classification, policy and referenced mapping bytes. Any bound input change requires fresh review and approval.

Only the controlling local terminal can issue the receipt. Piped confirmation, an agent flag and MCP approval cannot replace it. A matching receipt permits only its reviewed plan; it does not authorize another dataset.

Multiple Inputs And Databases¶

Use a common saved profile with transform-batch for multiple inputs and final linked validation. Creation saves configuration only. Validation and execution consume the exact reviewed digest and any required local receipt.

Configured SQL sessions use administrator allowlists and read-only budgets to capture once. Later steps reuse the same frozen snapshot without reconnecting. Sessions enforce admission, expiry and cleanup. MCP consumers stay workspace confined and return metadata, not rows.

See the CLI contract for formats and arguments, MCP permissions for integration rights, and Configuration for schemas and budgets. Historical RC anchors remain valid links.

Connect An MCP Client¶

English · Русский

These workflows describe stable 1.6.0. Start with a workspace-confined server and enable only tools required for your task. For local preservation approval use Transform Local Data; MCP cannot issue it.

The project exposes two MCP servers with separate trust boundaries:

• the generator's ordinary file tools use one workspace; configured SQL transformation sessions additionally own private temporary captures;
• the Trino server's default aggregate-only tools provide allowlisted, read-only metadata and profiling.

Start with the generator server. Add Trino only when database profiling is required.

Before enabling tools, use MCP Permissions for the complete tool inventory, required filesystem/network/database rights, client confirmation policy, and separate transformation approval requirements. These are stdio servers: the client launches a local process; no inbound port or MCP OAuth scope is required. Client tool approval, operating-system access, database grants and human dataset review are separate controls.

For process and dependency isolation, use the separate hardened images in Container Deployment. The generator example has no network, while the Trino worker receives no generator workspace mount.

For Trino username/password setup, use the complete Basic authentication MCP example.

Generator-Only Quickstart¶

Install the optional MCP support in a dedicated environment. Use the version selected in Installation.

python3 -m venv /path/to/mcp-env
/path/to/mcp-env/bin/python -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[mcp]"
mkdir -p /path/to/synthetic-workspace

Desktop clients may not inherit your shell's PATH. Configure the absolute executable path and restart the client after changing its configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "test-data-agent-generator": {
      "command": "/path/to/mcp-env/bin/test-data-agent-mcp-generator",
      "env": {
        "TEST_DATA_AGENT_WORKSPACE_ROOT": "/path/to/synthetic-workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace both absolute paths with your own. The client should discover plan_dataset, inspect_dataset_plan, approve_dataset_plan, and recover_dataset_plan. This local workflow requires no database or AI-provider credentials. The mcpServers example applies to clients supporting that configuration format; use your client's equivalent server settings otherwise.

Create customers.csv inside the workspace with this fictional fixture:

customer_id,email,status
1,alice@example.com,active
2,bob@example.com,paused

Ask your assistant: "Plan four synthetic customers from customers.csv with seed 81. Show me the specification for review before generating files." The corresponding plan_dataset arguments are:

{
  "source_path": "customers.csv",
  "workspace_path": "agent/customers",
  "source_type": "csv",
  "count": 4,
  "seed": 81,
  "output_format": "csv",
  "table_name": "customers"
}

The response has approval_required: true and spec_path. No generated dataset exists yet. Open the spec artifact locally and review field types, privacy, relationships, count, and seed. Inspection is a read-only operation:

{"workspace_path": "agent/customers"}

Call inspect_dataset_plan with those arguments. After a human reviews and explicitly approves the exact current specification, call approve_dataset_plan with:

{
  "workspace_path": "agent/customers",
  "reviewed_spec_sha256": "<review.current_spec_sha256 from inspection>"
}

Replace the placeholder with the actual fingerprint. If the specification changes, inspect and review it again; a copied fingerprint is not human approval. The approval response should report row_counts: {"customers": 4}, validation_valid: true, and paths to output, manifest, validation report, and approval receipt. Inspect the same workspace again to confirm phase: completed. Report these summaries and paths; do not attach or inline dataset rows.

Resume An Existing Synthetic Plan¶

If the client closes after planning, keep the agent workspace and resume the same conversation through the client's normal session-resume action. Restore the same verified installation, workspace root, MCP connection and tool filter. Keep the existing model, authentication, sandbox and confirmation policy. Run only one copy of that client session.

For the Codex CLI, the upstream client command is codex resume SESSION_ID; replace SESSION_ID with the existing conversation's identifier. This is a Codex command, not an Agent Paranoid Android option. If the original launch supplied MCP settings only for that invocation, reapply those same settings through the reviewed client launcher when resuming. A bare resume command does not establish that the required server and tool filter were restored.

Continue with inspect_dataset_plan for the existing workspace. Do not replay plan_dataset, delete the plan, or choose a new workspace merely to clear a non-empty-directory refusal. A launcher refusing to create a second plan does not establish that the package or final-commit checks failed.

When the phase is awaiting_approval:

1. Inspect the current plan and make the entire current dataset_spec.yaml available for the human to open and read. Check both its file bytes and review.current_spec_sha256 against the specification being reviewed.
2. Obtain fresh, explicit human consent for that exact current specification. A model's summary, copied fingerprint, bootstrap prompt, general release authorization or consent sent before the final specification was prepared does not complete this review.
3. Immediately before approval, inspect and check the same file again. Changed bytes require another full-file view and renewed consent.
4. Call approve_dataset_plan with the unchanged reviewed fingerprint, then validate_dataset and inspect the completed workspace. Report validation, counts and artifact paths without returning rows.

Client-session resume and recover_dataset_plan are different operations. For an interrupted approval, follow the state returned by inspection: report an existing completed result, use recovery only when next_action requests it, and stop for inspection on an unexpected state. Resuming a conversation does not itself approve a dataset or authorize preservation. See the permission boundaries.

Corrective Next Steps¶

• Missing executable or MCP extra: check the absolute path, install [mcp] into that environment, and restart the client.
• Rejected workspace path: move the input inside the configured root and use relative paths. Do not expand permissions to bypass the boundary.
• Non-empty planning directory: inspect the existing plan and resume its review. Use a new workspace only when deliberately starting a separate dataset.
• Stale review fingerprint: inspect, review the changed specification, and obtain renewed human approval before submitting its current fingerprint.
• Interrupted approval or a lost response: inspect first. If phase is completed, report the existing result. If next_action is recover, call recover_dataset_plan with the workspace and reviewed fingerprint. Recovery retains published outputs without generating another dataset. If inspection requests review and approval, follow that state instead.
• Fixed argument-validation or transport-limit error: correct arguments against the discovered tool schema or reduce request size. Do not disable budgets or expect rejected values to be reflected in error messages.

Add Trino only for database profiling, using the separate configuration and Safe Trino Sequence below. Keep database credentials in the Trino server for that aggregate-profile-to-synthetic workflow. The separately configured SQL transformation session has its own connection requirements.

Prepare A Workspace¶

Common-Profile Workflow¶

Stable 1.6.0 provides common_transformation in the generator console server. Registration grants no dataset permission or preservation approval. Stable acceptance has finite recorded limits; changed activation still needs its own review. It accepts operation (review, validate, execute), workspace-relative profile, and positive explicit max_total_bytes, max_review_bytes, max_output_bytes. Validation/execution require the exact reviewed snapshot_sha256. Preservation additionally requires a pre-existing local receipt; MCP cannot issue it. Optional destination is execute-only and names a new direct-child output bundle. Without it, execution is temporary.

The workspace root comes from server configuration, never tool arguments. Responses contain value-free review/summary metadata, not output rows or mapping literals. Existing transport/work budgets still apply; these byte settings do not enlarge source-free profiling or serialized response budgets. Unknown arguments, including root and approved, are rejected without reflection. Configuration creation and human confirmation remain local CLI operations. Installed fictional acceptance with MCP SDK1/SDK2 does not authorize private data access or issue a local preservation receipt.

mkdir -p /path/to/synthetic-workspace

Inputs, safe profiles, reviewed specs, rules, and outputs used through generator file tools must remain below this directory. Server-owned temporary storage, audit logs and authentication files have separate administrator-configured locations. The workspace setting is an application path boundary, not an operating-system sandbox.

MCP Client Configuration¶

Use the installed console commands:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "test-data-agent-generator": {
      "command": "test-data-agent-mcp-generator",
      "env": {
        "TEST_DATA_AGENT_WORKSPACE_ROOT": "/path/to/synthetic-workspace",
        "TEST_DATA_AGENT_MCP_MAX_INVOCATION_SECONDS": "120"
      }
    },
    "test-data-agent-trino": {
      "command": "test-data-agent-mcp-trino",
      "env": {
        "TRINO_HOST": "trino.example.internal",
        "TRINO_PORT": "443",
        "TRINO_USER": "synthetic_data_reader",
        "TRINO_HTTP_SCHEME": "https",
        "TRINO_ALLOWED_CATALOGS": "hive,iceberg",
        "TRINO_ALLOWED_SCHEMAS": "test_data,staging",
        "TRINO_QUERY_MAX_EXECUTION_TIME": "30s",
        "TRINO_QUERY_MAX_RUN_TIME": "45s",
        "TRINO_QUERY_MAX_SCAN_PHYSICAL_BYTES": "1GB"
      }
    }
  }
}

Give the Trino identity only the required metadata and SELECT access through database grants; no write or administration rights are needed. Catalog/schema allowlists do not create those grants. TRINO_ALLOWED_TABLE_COLUMNS narrows safe table profiling, but is not a universal per-tool ACL for metadata, counts, rule probes or optional run_safe_select. Use database grants for strict table/column isolation; see the permission matrix.

Do not place a password or token directly in a committed MCP configuration. Use the client's secret mechanism or an environment injected by the runtime.

Safe Generator Sequence¶

For selective transformation review, call review_transformation with workspace-relative input_path, policy_path and optional table_name. It reads a fixed local snapshot in the format selected by the saved policy and returns review_only, snapshot_sha256 and the same value-free review as CLI transform-review. Referenced mapping files stay local to the policy directory. The tool writes no artifacts, creates no approval receipt, executes no transformation and connects to no database. It is separate from ordinary source-free generator operations.

The stable 1.6.0 generator registers execute_transformation with workspace-relative input_path, policy_path, new output_path, mandatory snapshot_sha256, optional table_name/existing receipt_path, and optional max_total_input_bytes/max_output_bytes run caps. It consumes the same exact snapshots and budgets as CLI execution and returns transformation_completed, digest, provenance and budget summaries, never dataset rows or mapping literals. Explicit replacements may permute sensitive source values under the same field-independent contract. Review retains a value-free sensitivity note; mapped values stay in the selected local artifact, never MCP responses. This does not grant direct preservation or an implicit copy fallback.

Preservation requires a matching receipt issued separately by the human local controlling-terminal CLI. There is no MCP receipt issuer or approval flag. Changed inputs invalidate receipts; workspace escapes, existing destinations, unsupported actions and budget violations fail closed without copying fallback. Registration does not authorize a dataset. Changed activation requires fresh independent safety review and executable evidence. Changed public activation still requires matching contracts, executable safety evidence and independent exact-SHA review. A receipt never authorizes database access or external APIs.

1. Put a CSV file, CSV folder, or safe profile below the workspace root.
2. Call plan_dataset with that source, a new agent workspace, count, seed, and output format.
3. Stop and review the written dataset_spec.yaml.
4. Call inspect_dataset_plan and record review.current_spec_sha256.
5. Call approve_dataset_plan with that exact fingerprint only after review.
6. Report summaries and artifact paths, not generated rows.

Use profile_csv, infer_dataset_spec, generate_dataset, and validate_dataset separately when an advanced client needs control over each pipeline stage. Direct generate_dataset and export_dataset do not require a planning approval argument; configure the client's confirmation policy before enabling these writing tools. Permission to invoke approve_dataset_plan is not evidence that the human reviewed the displayed specification.

For the planning/approval workflow, embed business_rules in the reviewed DatasetSpec. Direct generate_dataset and export_dataset calls can instead provide business_rules_path or a bounded structured business_rules_payload. Use one rule source: external rules cannot be combined with embedded rules.

Generator MCP reads newline-framed requests through the same bounded transport used by Trino MCP. Each request receives a fresh non-resettable budget. The default boundary rejects raw frames above 1 MiB, JSON deeper than 100 levels, JSON with more than 10,000 structural nodes, or an individual scalar above 256 KiB before MCP/Pydantic materialization. Complete JSON-RPC responses are limited to 4 MiB and overflow becomes a fixed local error. Typed argument-validation failures also become the fixed Tool arguments failed validation error; rejected caller values and nested Pydantic diagnostics are not returned. Malformed typed requests are rejected before SDK dispatch with fixed Invalid request parameters text, and malformed notifications are dropped; their caller-controlled values do not enter SDK logs or retained exceptions. Each server process admits at most 32 active requests. Excess requests receive a fixed bounded capacity error, and disconnect or teardown clears retained request state. Trino execution is separately capped at eight concurrent operations per process.

Safe Trino Sequence¶

The default aggregate-only tools are source-literal-free and contain only metadata and aggregate profiling operations:

• list_catalogs, list_schemas, list_tables, describe_table;
• profile_table, profile_table_safe, profile_column;
• profile_foreign_key, profile_temporal_ordering, profile_formula_rule;
• profile_conditional_required, profile_conditional_allowed_values;
• profile_aggregate_mapping.

Catalog and schema discovery returns only names present in the configured allowlists. Tables may be listed only after their catalog and schema pass those allowlists. Backend-controlled driver and enumeration failures are exposed as the fixed Trino request failed error without retaining the original text.

This default aggregate-only surface has no row-returning diagnostic. Its successful responses, validation and database errors, and metadata-only audit records do not contain source-cell literals.

1. Call list_catalogs, list_schemas, and list_tables.
2. Call describe_table.
3. Call profile_table_safe for an allowlisted table.
4. Pass that response to generator plan_trino_dataset with a new workspace, explicit count, seed, and output format.
5. Stop and review the written dataset_spec.yaml.
6. Call inspect_dataset_plan and record review.current_spec_sha256.
7. Call approve_dataset_plan with that value as reviewed_spec_sha256 only after the human reviewed that exact spec fingerprint.
8. Do not export or relay source rows.

Both catalog and schema allowlists are mandatory by default. HTTPS is the default. Plain HTTP requires an explicit override and is intended only for an isolated local Trino instance.

The explicit opt-in row-returning tool run_safe_select is not exposed by default. Trusted clients that need it must set TRINO_ENABLE_SAFE_SELECT=true. The review-first planning sequence above does not require it. Its bounded row-shaped result masks every string, including names and addresses missed by heuristic classification, plus non-string fields or values recognized as sensitive. Other non-string source values may remain, so enabling it does not make returned rows source-free, anonymous, or suitable for relay to an LLM or generated output.

Expected Result¶

The default generator and default aggregate-only Trino tools return compact metadata:

rows: customers=25, orders=25
seed: 12345
validation: passed
synthetic: true
source rows copied: false

Generated files stay in the workspace. These default tools do not return dataset or source rows; explicit opt-in row-returning tools are outside this expected result.

Failure Conditions¶

The server rejects:

• paths outside the workspace, including existing symlink escapes;
• existing output files and non-empty output directories;
• unrestricted SQL, DDL, DML, joins, CTEs, and subqueries;
• likely PII projections and raw sensitive rule literals;
• non-Trino or oversized inline planning profiles;
• DatasetSpec input passed to plan_dataset instead of generate_dataset;
• missing Trino allowlists;
• requests exceeding configured input, output, query, or execution limits.

See MCP Tools and Configuration for details.

Preservation approval is never an MCP capability. The registered separate workspace execution consumer cannot issue local receipts, return rows or broaden source-free generator authority. Changed public activation requires the scoped safety review and executable evidence specified by ADR-0020 and ADR-0021.

Configured SQL Sessions¶

The running generator server registers configured_query_session with an instance-owned session manager. Use only an authorized administrator-configured PostgreSQL or Trino source. A saved batch profile and bounded query references are workspace files; tool arguments never select endpoints or credentials.

Responses contain review/summary metadata, never captured rows, query text, mapping literals or connection secrets. local_approval contains an owned temporary root, batch.yaml, a fixed receipt filename, digest and input/review limits. These references help the local operator invoke the existing CLI:

test-data-agent transform-batch approve /owned/root batch.yaml local-session-receipt.json \
  --snapshot-sha256 REVIEWED_DIGEST \
  --max-total-input-bytes REVIEWED_INPUT_LIMIT --max-review-bytes REVIEWED_REVIEW_LIMIT

Use the exact metadata values while the session is alive. The CLI opens the controlling terminal for confirmation; MCP has no approval operation or boolean. This descriptor itself grants no authority. Direct or fallback preservation requires a valid exact receipt; explicit mappings retain their separate safety checks. Changed local bytes cannot produce a receipt for the frozen batch.

Expiry, refusal and shutdown remove owned inputs and receipts. Execution retains only the selected validated output bundle inside the parent workspace. Expired or closed handles refuse without silently recapturing. Start a new explicit session and review its new digest if another capture is needed. Cumulative byte admission is not refunded on close or failure; restart the owning server only after resolving the refusal and reviewing its configured limits.

Cleanup failure returns a fixed incomplete-cleanup error and latches the owner unhealthy; further work refuses. Preserve the failure evidence and inspect local temporary storage before restarting. Default bounds and overrides are documented in configuration. The entrypoint closes all sessions in a shutdown handler even if transport fails. Custom SDK embedding must explicitly inject a session owner and close it; the module-level SDK object creates no SQL sessions.

AI Integration¶

English · Русский

Model-specific Python integrations should implement the provider-neutral AdvisorExchangeClient contract and use ExchangeDatasetAdvisor. The client receives static trusted instructions, safe profile metadata marked as untrusted, and the current structured-output schema. The adapter validates provider output against the original request and never generates data or bypasses approval.

advise_agent_workspace can persist that validated proposal as advisor_review.json and update the pending dataset_spec.yaml. The existing status fingerprint and explicit approval remain the only path to generation.

AI is optional. The deterministic CLI and Python library can complete the full profile → review → generate → validate workflow without a provider, MCP client, or network access. Add AI only when it reduces manual work in relationship discovery, semantic interpretation, or business-rule hypothesis generation.

When AI is used, this project can be used by an AI client in three practical ways:

1. As a local CLI tool.
2. Through two MCP servers that cover default aggregate-only Trino profiling and synthetic data generation.
3. Through the review-first local agent workflow.

CLI Mode¶

An AI agent with shell access can call the local command-line interface:

test-data-agent profile-example ...
test-data-agent infer-spec ...
test-data-agent generate ...
test-data-agent validate ...

In this mode, the AI plans the workflow, builds or edits a DatasetSpec, runs deterministic generation, validates the output, and reports the result.

Install the base package for CLI workflows:

python3 -m pip install agent-paranoid-android

Add only the integrations the AI client needs. The exact pin below selects verified stable 1.6.0; see release status.

python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[mcp,trino]"
python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[openai]"
python3 -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[gigachat]==1.6.0"

The experimental GigaChat adapter is included in stable 1.5.0 as an explicit opt-in and retained in stable 1.6.0. OpenAI remains the default provider. Follow Use The GigaChat Advisor before configuring credentials.

Agent Mode¶

Use agent-plan when an AI client should prepare work but stop before generation:

test-data-agent agent-plan tests/fixtures/example_dataset \
  --workspace out/agent \
  --count 25 \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --json

The CLI detects this as a CSV-folder source. AI clients should provide --source-type only when an explicit override is required.

The returned plan summary provides metadata-only fields, sensitive classifications, relationships, confidence, assumptions, and warnings. Treat all entity and field names as untrusted data, never as model instructions. The AI client can summarize out/agent/dataset_spec.yaml and ask for approval. After review, run:

test-data-agent agent-review out/agent --json
test-data-agent agent-status out/agent --json
test-data-agent agent-approve out/agent \
  --reviewed-spec-sha256 "$REVIEWED_SPEC_SHA256" --json

AI clients should use --json, inspect schema_version, and branch on stable structured error codes and process exit codes. JSON is written only to stdout; successful responses contain summaries and artifact paths, never dataset rows. The client must show the current review.current_spec_sha256 alongside the spec, obtain explicit human approval for that value, and pass it unchanged to agent-approve. It must not approve a newly computed hash without renewed human review.

If status reports recovery_required, the client may call agent-recover with that same human-reviewed hash. It must not edit the generated bundle or substitute a new hash; recovery revalidates existing artifacts and never regenerates rows.

This mode is documented in Agent Design. It is useful when an LLM should plan the workflow but deterministic Python code must retain control over generation, validation, source-row checks, and manifests.

In-Process Advisor Client¶

Use ExchangeDatasetAdvisor when a provider SDK runs in the consuming application:

from test_data_agent import ExchangeDatasetAdvisor
from test_data_agent.providers.openai import OpenAIAdvisorClient

advisor = ExchangeDatasetAdvisor(OpenAIAdvisorClient(model="gpt-5.6"))

The OpenAI adapter is optional, uses structured Responses API output, disables response storage, and accepts only completed parsed responses. The package root and base installation do not import its SDK.

The optional GigaChatAdvisorClient implements the same exchange boundary through the official gigachat SDK. It is selected explicitly by agent-advise --provider gigachat, uses fixed verified-TLS endpoints, and accepts credentials only from the runtime environment. It sends no source rows or exact locally preserved category values. See the GigaChat guide for a complete synthetic, review-gated example.

For another provider, implement the same application-owned contract:

from test_data_agent import (
    AdvisorExchange,
    ExchangeDatasetAdvisor,
    advise_agent_workspace,
)


class ProviderClient:
    def complete(self, exchange: AdvisorExchange) -> dict:
        return call_model_with_structured_output(
            trusted_instructions=exchange.trusted_instructions,
            untrusted_input=exchange.request.model_dump(mode="json"),
            response_schema=exchange.response_json_schema,
        )


status = advise_agent_workspace(
    workspace,
    ExchangeDatasetAdvisor(ProviderClient()),
)

call_model_with_structured_output is provider-specific application code. Keep additional SDKs and all credentials outside the deterministic core and base installation. The client must return a parsed object matching AdvisorProposal; prose, tool commands, and unknown fields fail validation.

For an executable application-layer example, run The Reference Agent. It uses a deterministic stand-in by default and can select the optional OpenAI adapter. The CLI GigaChat path uses the same review and approval contract. All paths stop for explicit human review, require the exact reviewed spec fingerprint, and then run the normal deterministic generation and validation pipeline.

External Advisor JSON Handoff¶

Any model service that can accept and return structured JSON can propose DatasetSpec changes without a package integration:

test-data-agent agent-plan tests/fixtures/example_dataset \
  --workspace out/agent --count 25 --json
test-data-agent agent-advisor-request out/agent \
  --exchange > advisor_exchange.json

Load the exchange locally. Exported documents can contain category literals, matching predicates and local generation metadata. Do not transmit them unchanged. ExchangeDatasetAdvisor projects the request for built-in and custom clients, recomputes its fingerprints, validates the projected proposal, restores retained local metadata under deterministic guards and validates the original request. Clients must echo the fingerprints they receive. Standalone JSON handoff must implement this tested projection and local restoration or refuse transmission. After projection, map each part to the provider's API:

• send trusted_instructions through its system or developer instruction channel;
• send request as structured untrusted input;
• constrain structured output with response_json_schema;
• save only the resulting AdvisorProposal as advisor_proposal.json.

Do not merge request profile text into the trusted instructions. Provider SDK code remains in the consuming application, outside the base package. Then run:

test-data-agent agent-advisor-apply \
  out/agent advisor_proposal.json --json
test-data-agent agent-review out/agent --json
test-data-agent agent-status out/agent --json

The core verifies both request fingerprints, the full spec schema, schema identity, privacy settings, sensitive classifications, row limits, and the absence of raw sensitive values. It records the exchange in advisor_review.json and never generates data during apply.

Show the updated dataset_spec.yaml and the new review.current_spec_sha256 to the human reviewer. Only after explicit review may the client pass that exact hash to agent-approve. A retry with the same proposal can finish an interrupted spec write; stale, different, linked, oversized, or conflicting input fails closed.

See Advisor API for the exact request and proposal contracts. See Build A Provider Adapter for the Python protocol, wire-field tables, adapter template, and required contract tests.

MCP Mode¶

Follow Connect An MCP Client for dedicated-environment installation, absolute executable paths, a narrow workspace and client settings. Use MCP Permissions as the complete tool and rights inventory, including runtime-owned and optional capabilities.

The two console commands are test-data-agent-mcp-generator and test-data-agent-mcp-trino. Both use stdio; they require no inbound MCP port or MCP OAuth scope. Client permission to invoke tools, the process user's filesystem/network rights, database grants and human review are separate.

The default aggregate-only Trino tools return metadata and summaries, not source rows. The optional run_safe_select is registered only when TRINO_ENABLE_SAFE_SELECT=true. It masks strings and recognized sensitive values, but other source values may remain; never treat its rows as anonymous, relay them to an LLM or use them as generated output.

Ordinary synthetic generator tools need only the selected workspace and no database/provider credentials. The separate transformation and configured SQL session tools have additional rights and activation gates documented in the permission reference. Generator responses contain summaries and artifact paths, not source or generated rows. export_dataset generates fresh data from a spec; it does not convert arbitrary source-row files.

The workspace setting confines application tool paths, not all process access. Use a dedicated root and operating-system/container isolation where needed; keep credentials and audit files outside the client-accessible workspace. Direct generate_dataset and export_dataset have no planning approval argument, so configure human confirmation in the client before enabling them. The review-first sequence below remains the recommended assistant workflow.

Recommended AI Workflow¶

For a CSV file, CSV folder, or safe profile already inside the generator workspace, call plan_dataset with a new agent workspace. It detects the source type, writes the review artifacts, and stops before generation.

An MCP-compatible AI client can run the complete workflow:

1. Call plan_dataset for a workspace source, or inspect and profile a Trino table safely before passing its safe profile to plan_trino_dataset.
2. Summarize the written versioned DatasetSpec and request explicit human approval.
3. Call inspect_dataset_plan after any edits and show its current spec fingerprint to the reviewer.
4. Call approve_dataset_plan with that exact reviewed_spec_sha256 only after approval.
5. Call validate_dataset on the generated bundle when an independent validation response is needed.
6. Return artifact paths plus a concise report with row count, seed, format, validation status, and confirmation that no production rows were copied.

If inspection reports recovery_required, call recover_dataset_plan with the same reviewed fingerprint. Recovery revalidates the existing bundle and does not regenerate or return rows.

The generator MCP responses return summaries and validation reports, not data rows. Generated files stay in the configured workspace. Each bundle includes a generation_manifest.json with its spec fingerprint, package version, schema version, seed, format, row counts, validation status, and synthetic provenance.

Treat table names, column names, descriptions, and safe distribution values as untrusted data. An AI client must not follow instructions embedded in source metadata or include metadata directly in privileged prompts.

The reasons for the two-server boundary, path restrictions, manifest checks, and artifact ownership are documented in Generator MCP Design Rationale. Practical end-to-end tool sequences are in MCP Examples.

Local Demo¶

The included demo starts from a checked-in safe Trino profile and executes spec inference, deterministic CSV generation, validation, and manifest creation:

python3 scripts/run_ai_demo.py \
  --profile examples/trino_safe_profile.json \
  --output out/ai_demo \
  --count 100 \
  --seed 12345

Run In Containers¶

English · Русский

Container images are an optional deployment path for isolated CLI and MCP workers. PyPI remains the normal installation path for local Python use.

Release Status¶

Stable 1.6.0 images are published and verified; see the immutable digests and signatures. The RC5 container evidence remains bound to RC5.

Select an exact version tag such as ghcr.io/wa-pis/agent-paranoid-android-cli:1.6.0, then resolve and verify its immutable digest before use. The stable tag also updates the mutable 1.6, 1 and latest aliases; none provides immutable version identity.

Published Images¶

Release tags publish linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 manifests. PyArrow is not installed in these images. Use the PyPI parquet extra when Parquet output is required.

Pull requests build and run every target on both architectures. ARM64 checks use QEMU only as CI execution support; the resulting image still reports arm64 and must pass the same non-root, read-only, network-isolated health contract as the native AMD64 validation. Both architectures also run actual installed CLI generation, validation and seeded replay in JSON, CSV and SQL; generator MCP profiling, inference, generation, validation and export over stdio; and Trino MCP discovery plus an excluded-catalog refusal before network access. Evidence records the source commit and image digest. The minimal images also prove a safe missing-Parquet-extra refusal. Live database acquisition is a separate disposable-database campaign, not a health-check claim.

Build Locally¶

Build only the target you need:

docker build --target cli -t agent-paranoid-android:cli .
docker build --target generator-mcp -t agent-paranoid-android:generator-mcp .
docker build --target trino-mcp -t agent-paranoid-android:trino-mcp .

The Dockerfile uses digest-pinned Python and uv images, a frozen lockfile, and separate dependency sets. Final images run as UID/GID 65532 by default. The shared runtime layer installs fixed Bookworm PCRE2 and Perl packages and checks their versions during the build. Perl remains a Debian essential package; image scans continue to block fixable High and Critical findings.

Prepare Compose¶

Create writable workspace and audit folders plus a private audit key file:

umask 077
mkdir -p workspace audit/generator audit/trino secrets
openssl rand -base64 32 > secrets/generator_audit_hmac_key
openssl rand -base64 32 > secrets/trino_audit_hmac_key
chmod 600 secrets/generator_audit_hmac_key secrets/trino_audit_hmac_key
export CONTAINER_UID="$(id -u)"
export CONTAINER_GID="$(id -g)"

CONTAINER_UID and CONTAINER_GID must remain non-zero. They let the non-root process write to bind-mounted host folders on Linux. Never commit the secrets, audit, or workspace folders.

Build the Compose targets from the current checkout:

docker compose build cli generator-mcp trino-mcp
docker compose run --rm cli doctor --skip-smoke

The Compose contract applies a read-only root filesystem, drops all capabilities, enables no-new-privileges, limits CPU, memory, processes, and temporary storage, and publishes no ports.

Generator MCP¶

The generator receives only /workspace and /audit; it has no network:

docker compose run --rm -T generator-mcp

Set TEST_DATA_AGENT_MCP_MAX_INVOCATION_SECONDS in the shell or Compose .env file before starting generator MCP to configure its invocation deadline. The default is 120 seconds; finite positive values are required. Independent generation, profiling, transformation and container memory limits still apply.

An MCP client can launch that command directly. Use an absolute Compose path:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "test-data-generator": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "compose",
        "-f",
        "/absolute/path/agent-paranoid-android/compose.yaml",
        "run",
        "--rm",
        "-T",
        "generator-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The client receives MCP messages over stdio. There is intentionally no exposed HTTP port.

Trino MCP¶

Set an HTTPS endpoint and narrow allowlists before starting the Trino worker:

export TRINO_HOST=trino.example.internal
export TRINO_PORT=443
export TRINO_USER=test_data_agent
export TRINO_ALLOWED_CATALOGS=iceberg
export TRINO_ALLOWED_SCHEMAS=dev,staging
docker compose run --rm -T trino-mcp

Missing host or allowlists fail before the server starts. The Trino service has network access but receives no generator workspace mount. The Compose example does not enable unrestricted access, plain HTTP, or the optional raw-SQL tool.

Audit Secret¶

Compose mounts separate generator and Trino audit keys below /run/secrets. Keys are not stored in image metadata or process environment. The application rejects a secret file that is empty, oversized, writable by another user, linked, or configured together with TEST_DATA_AGENT_AUDIT_HMAC_KEY.

The services also use separate host directories and logs: audit/generator/generator.jsonl and audit/trino/trino.jsonl. A compromise of one worker therefore does not grant the key or writable log mount of the other. Stop the corresponding writer before rotating either file. See MCP Audit Logging.

Verify A Published Image¶

Use the immutable digest shown by GHCR rather than relying on a mutable tag:

IMAGE=ghcr.io/wa-pis/agent-paranoid-android-generator-mcp
DIGEST=sha256:replace-with-published-digest

cosign verify \
  --certificate-identity-regexp \
  '^https://github.com/wa-pis/agent-paranoid-android/.github/workflows/containers.yml@refs/tags/v[0-9].*$' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
  "${IMAGE}@${DIGEST}"

gh attestation verify "oci://${IMAGE}@${DIGEST}" \
  --repo wa-pis/agent-paranoid-android

docker buildx imagetools inspect "${IMAGE}@${DIGEST}" \
  --format '{{ json .SBOM }}'

The release workflow signs the multi-platform manifest digest with a short-lived GitHub OIDC identity and publishes BuildKit SBOM and provenance attestations. No Cosign private key is stored in the repository.

Pull-request CI also scans every native container target for fixable High and Critical operating-system and Python-package vulnerabilities. A finding at either severity blocks publication through the container validation gate. Unfixed upstream findings remain visible in the scan output and must be reviewed separately during release-candidate security review.

Health Semantics¶

The image health command performs only local checks: non-root execution, expected dependencies, workspace access, Trino safety configuration, and audit configuration. It never connects to Trino or reads a dataset. Because MCP uses stdio, container liveness is also represented by the MCP process itself.

Choose An Approach¶

English · Русский

Agent Paranoid Android is for teams that need deterministic test datasets from bounded CSV, PostgreSQL, or Trino evidence without copying source rows. Its primary interfaces are the CLI and Python library. Database clients, MCP, and AI providers are optional integrations around the same review and validation boundaries.

The database workflows below are available in stable 1.6.0.

Quick Comparison¶

Choose This Project When¶

• source access must stay read-only and metadata-focused;
• generated rows must be reproducible from an explicit seed;
• foreign keys, temporal order, formulas, and business rules must be executable and independently validated;
• humans must approve inferred specifications before generation;
• CSV, JSON, SQL, or Parquet output needs an evidence manifest.

Start with the offline installed demo:

test-data-agent demo --output out/demo

Choose Something Else When¶

Use a simpler factory when manually defining every field is cheaper than profiling and review. Use a specialist privacy system when you need a measured privacy guarantee. Use governed masking only when retaining source rows is an explicit requirement and is allowed by your data policy.

No approach removes the need to review sensitive identifiers, rare free text, quasi-identifiers, and organization-specific privacy requirements.

Profiles And Specs¶

English · Русский

Profiles and specifications have different roles.

Safe Profile¶

A profile describes source structure without becoming a copy of the source dataset. It can contain:

• field names and inferred types;
• null ratios and approximate distinct counts;
• numeric ranges and percentiles;
• date and timestamp ranges;
• safe distributions for non-sensitive low-cardinality fields;
• string length statistics and masked sensitive patterns;
• inferred relationship and constraint candidates.

A profile must not contain source rows, raw PII, credentials, tokens, or rare free-text values. Exact values are disabled by default. An explicit field-scoped local allowlist may retain a reviewed bounded non-sensitive business enum or constant after content, cardinality, and value-length checks.

Create one from a CSV folder:

test-data-agent profile-example data/example_dataset \
  --output out/profile.json

For example, retain a reviewed local enum while replacing every other source literal:

test-data-agent profile-example data/example_dataset \
  --local-category orders.status \
  --output out/profile.json

This authorization remains local. External advisors receive deterministic field-scoped labels, and default MCP responses do not receive the exact enum.

SQL Query Source¶

This source type is available in stable 1.6.0.

One reviewed local query file can shape a PostgreSQL or Trino virtual entity:

test-data-agent profile-query query.sql \
  --adapter postgres \
  --source-id warehouse \
  --entity paid_orders \
  --output out/profile.json

SQL source policy 1.1 accepts exactly one fully qualified, single-table SELECT with explicit projections or an authorized qualified wildcard, bounded filters, and a small deterministic scalar-expression set. It rejects joins, CTEs, subqueries, set operations, windows, table functions, commands, volatile or unknown functions, multiple statements, and unauthorized references before derived aggregate work begins.

It also accepts aliased SUM, COUNT, MIN, MAX and AVG projections, optionally grouped by explicit authorized source columns. Each other selected column must be a grouping key. COUNT(*) counts rows; it is not a row wildcard. Aggregate arguments may use the existing scalar expressions, but nested or wrapped aggregates, DISTINCT aggregates, HAVING, grouping expressions/ordinals, ROLLUP and grouping sets remain unsupported. Grouped/aggregate queries referencing sensitive-name source columns fail closed even when renamed. Existing budgets and disclosure checks remain; small groups are not an anonymity guarantee. For example, SELECT status, COUNT(*) AS measured FROM public.orders GROUP BY status profiles a grouped relation without fetching its rows.

Query profiles also record has_unmodeled_expressions: a source-dependent non-column projection or any aggregate (including COUNT(*)) sets it to true. Profiling remains available, but infer-spec rejects such profiles rather than silently generating independent values that break SQL-expression dependencies. Direct column aliases remain eligible. Older SQL profiles missing the marker must be reprofiled before automatic inference. Non-query legacy profiles retain prior inference behavior. The optional marker defaults to null (unknown); unknown does not change legacy profile fingerprints, while explicit true/false is included in the fingerprint. This does not translate SQL into formulas or authorize raw query-result access.

The profile records source_fingerprint and source_policy_version, not SQL text or literals. The adapter performs a no-row schema probe followed by bounded aggregates. Query result rows are never returned, persisted, sent to a provider or MCP, or supplied to generation.

DatasetSpec¶

DatasetSpec is the reviewed, executable generation contract. It contains:

• entities, fields, types, nullability, and row counts;
• primary keys and relationships;
• distributions and constraints;
• privacy annotations;
• structured business rules;
• generation and validation settings and schema version.

Infer a spec:

test-data-agent infer-spec out/profile.json \
  --count 100 \
  --output out/dataset_spec.yaml

Review the spec before generation. Inferred relationships and constraints are candidates, not unquestionable facts.

Generation¶

Generation reads the specification, not source rows:

test-data-agent generate out/dataset_spec.yaml \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --output out/generated

The seed belongs to the generation request and is recorded in the effective spec and manifest.

Validation¶

test-data-agent validate out/dataset_spec.yaml out/generated \
  --output out/generated/validation_report.json

Validation is deterministic Python code. An AI client may plan or summarize the workflow, but it is not the only validator.

Versioning¶

Newly constructed DatasetSpec files use schema_version: "1.1"; version 1.0 remains supported, and serialized files without a version load as 1.0 for compatibility. Exact DECIMAL fields require 1.1. Keep the schema version, package version, spec_sha256, business_validation.rules_sha256, and seed with any dataset that must be reproduced later.

The complete field reference is in DatasetSpec.

Date and time bounds¶

A reviewed date_range or datetime_range supplies sampling bounds. Missing endpoints use 2020-01-01 and 2025-01-01. Supply both ordered endpoints for an earlier or later period: a partial bound that reverses the effective interval now rejects with a recovery hint. Generation keeps previous output artifacts unchanged on this failure.

Datetime sampling retains its whole-second offset policy and the lower endpoint's microseconds. Very long fractional intervals use integer duration arithmetic to stay within the maximum. Range endpoints alone do not establish monthly or other calendar granularity; source-period fidelity remains unmeasured.

Safety Model¶

English · Русский

The central invariant is:

Generated output must contain newly generated values, not copied source rows.

Source data may be read to derive bounded metadata. It is not used as a pool of rows to shuffle, duplicate, or export.

Trust Boundaries¶

Selective transformation is a separate mixed-origin surface in stable 1.6.0. Its execution and approval contract requires local interactive approval of exact input/review bytes before any explicitly non-sensitive field can be preserved. Agent execution can only consume an existing matching receipt; it cannot issue or broaden approval. Sensitivity conflicts, unknown fields and default DECIMAL preservation remain blocked. Receipt integrity does not prove personhood or anonymity. Existing generation, profiling and default responses retain their source-free contracts. Private implementation review does not activate public registration.

Treat all of these as untrusted:

• CSV, JSON, YAML, and Parquet files;
• paths supplied to CLI or MCP tools;
• profile payloads supplied by another process;
• business-rule files and inline rule payloads;
• Trino identifiers, metadata, query results, and environment variables;
• PostgreSQL and Trino JDBC-style endpoint strings;
• local PostgreSQL and Trino SQL query-source files;
• output directories that may contain symlinks or existing files.

Defenses¶

Sensitive data¶

Likely PII and secrets are detected from both field names and values. Sensitive columns suppress raw top values and expose masked patterns or aggregate metadata instead. Sensitive examples use an opaque placeholder rather than intentionally preserving source values. Non-sensitive category profiles replace source values with ranked synthetic labels by default. An explicit field-scoped local allowlist may preserve only a reviewed bounded non-sensitive business enum or constant after content, cardinality, and value-length checks. Rare free text, PII, secrets, identifiers, and quasi-identifiers are never eligible.

Approved exact values may appear only in local profiles, reviewed specs, deterministic generated rows, and local SQL export. External providers receive field-scoped labels, and default MCP responses, logs, and public errors remain source-literal free.

Source-row reuse¶

Generation uses a reviewed specification and a local seeded random generator. Runtime checks reject exact source-row reuse in supported CSV workflows. The comparison covers complete rows only and runs only when the source CSV is available to that workflow. It does not detect every partial-value, quasi-identifier, or statistical similarity between source and output.

Filesystem¶

Input and output paths must be distinct. New bundles are assembled in a temporary sibling directory and published only after size and validation checks. Workspace-bound MCP paths reject traversal and symlink escapes.

Trino¶

Trino access is read-only, allowlisted, bounded by client row limits and server-side time and scan budgets. Unsafe query shapes and likely sensitive projections are rejected before execution. The default aggregate-only tools return only source-literal-free metadata and aggregates. The explicit opt-in row-returning tool run_safe_select recursively masks every returned string in bounded scalar or composite values and any non-string field or value recognized as sensitive. Other non-string source values may remain, so those rows are not source-free or anonymous.

PostgreSQL¶

Direct PostgreSQL profiling uses the optional driver through a forced read-only session. Schema, table, and column allowlists are mandatory, and one shared statement/result/deadline budget bounds metadata and aggregate queries. Normal table profiling accepts no caller SQL and reads no source rows. profile-query is a separate local-file surface for one strictly parsed, single-table, fully allowlisted SELECT. Adapter-owned no-row schema and aggregate queries profile its virtual relation without fetching result rows. The profile stores a SHA-256 fingerprint and policy version, never query text, query literals, backend messages, endpoints, or source rows. Qualified local category selectors may retain only values that pass the selective local policy above.

PostgreSQL schema.table.* and Trino catalog.schema.table.* column selectors are authorization syntax, not SQL. They are expanded from bounded metadata for one exact allowed table into a deterministic explicit-column snapshot before aggregates run. They do not authorize source rows, local exact values, category literals, caller projection stars, providers, default MCP literals, logs, or errors.

PostgreSQL and Trino may accept credential-free JDBC-style endpoint syntax. Parsing happens before client construction and rejects userinfo, secrets, session-changing or unknown properties, malformed escapes, ambiguous paths, and conflicting component configuration. The complete URL is discarded after normalization and is never written to profiles, manifests, MCP responses, provider payloads, logs, or public errors.

Resource limits¶

The project limits input bytes, rows, columns, cells, YAML complexity, Parquet expansion, generated rows, output bytes, available disk reserve, rule work, query work, and wall-clock generation time.

What The Project Guarantees¶

For supported synthetic-generation workflows and accepted inputs, the project is designed to:

• avoid copying complete source rows;
• avoid writing raw detected PII into safe profiles;
• regenerate identifiers and sensitive semantic values;
• produce logically deterministic output for the same spec, rules, seed, locale, runtime, dependencies, serializer, and generator version;
• validate schema, relationships, constraints, and business rules;
• record provenance and safety flags in a generation manifest.

The manifest records those effective inputs plus SHA-256 evidence for generated artifacts. Byte-for-byte identity is expected only when the complete recorded environment is unchanged. It is not guaranteed across Python, dependency, serializer, operating-system, or package versions, even when logical values and validation results remain equivalent.

What It Does Not Guarantee¶

The project cannot decide whether every ambiguous business field is sensitive. It also cannot prove that an inferred distribution is legally or statistically safe for every use case. The project does not currently implement differential privacy, k-anonymity, l-diversity, or a privacy budget, and makes no statistical privacy guarantee. Treat generated data as requiring a domain-specific privacy review before distribution.

Human review is still required for:

• domain-specific identifiers and rare free text;
• inferred relationships and constraints;
• privacy requirements outside the built-in detectors;
• organization-specific retention and access controls;
• downstream systems that may log or redistribute generated data.

Do not send production data, raw PII, credentials, or tokens to an LLM while reviewing profiles or specifications.

Acceptance Checklist¶

Before publishing a generated dataset:

This checklist applies to synthetic generation, not the gated mixed-origin transformation workflow. A transformed bundle must not be relabelled synthetic merely because validation passed: its action provenance and any matching local preservation receipt remain separate requirements.

• manifest says synthetic: true;
• manifest says source_rows_copied: false;
• deterministic validation passed;
• business validation passed when rules were used;
• seed, row counts, format, and fingerprints are correct;
• profile and generated samples contain no unexpected sensitive values;
• the output is stored outside the source path.

See Review The Output for the practical review sequence.

Configured SQL Transformation Sessions¶

The separately selected configured query workflow captures one allowlisted read-only result using administrator configuration, then reviews and validates frozen local bytes without reconnecting. It does not expand ordinary profiling or source-free generation authority. MCP returns only metadata and consumes an existing exact local controlling-TTY receipt when preservation requires one; it cannot issue approval. Session handles expire without recapture, owned raw inputs/receipts are removed, and only validated selected output is retained. Cleanup failure refuses further work. Registration is not data access permission or final exact-SHA security/release clearance.

Troubleshooting¶

English · Русский

Start with:

test-data-agent doctor
test-data-agent doctor --json

The final line should be doctor passed.

Require the optional capability you intend to operate:

test-data-agent doctor --require-extra parquet

For Parquet this performs a local temporary generation and read-back, checks row counts and manifest safety flags, and contacts no external service. A missing extra recommends installation. An installed extra whose local smoke fails reports a capability failure instead of recommending reinstall; check local setup and rerun doctor. A broken dependency import is reported as an import failure, not as an absent package. Exception text and temporary paths are omitted. If quickstart generation fails, earlier dependency checks remain in the report and doctor --json returns ok: false, exit code 1, and a failed quickstart check without exposing the underlying exception.

doctor --require-extra mcp constructs the real generator FastMCP transport, registers one local audited probe tool, and verifies its public tool listing. It does not start a server, listen on a port, invoke the tool, or contact an MCP client.

doctor --require-extra trino validates a bounded allowlisted query with the installed Trino SQL parser, constructs a client for the reserved doctor.invalid host, and closes it without opening a cursor or executing SQL. It does not read Trino credentials or contact a coordinator. A missing extra gets installation guidance; a local smoke failure does not establish a missing package or remote connectivity problem.

doctor --require-extra openai constructs and closes the installed SDK client with a local non-secret placeholder and verifies the structured Responses API used by the advisor adapter. It does not read OPENAI_API_KEY, send a request, or contact the provider. A local smoke failure does not establish a missing package or a problem with deployment credentials.

doctor --require-extra gigachat uses a local fake SDK client to verify strict structured-response mapping and cleanup. It does not read GIGACHAT_CREDENTIALS or GIGACHAT_ACCESS_TOKEN, obtain a token, or contact GigaChat. Install stable 1.6.0 with the gigachat extra. See release status.

JDBC-Style URL Rejected¶

JDBC-style endpoint input, qualified column wildcards, and profile-query are available in stable 1.5.0 and retained in stable 1.6.0.

Use only the documented credential-free PostgreSQL or Trino shape. Keep users, password references, tokens, roles, headers, proxies, session properties, allowlists, and budgets in their existing settings. Remove duplicate or unknown URL properties. When URL and component fields are both set, make the explicit host, port, database/TLS or catalog/schema values identical, or remove one representation. Errors intentionally omit the URL and conflicting values.

An endpoint also fails when the URL exceeds 4,096 UTF-8 bytes, its host exceeds 253 characters, a PostgreSQL database identifier exceeds 63 characters, or a Trino catalog/schema identifier exceeds 255 characters. Shorten the local configuration; the rejected value is intentionally absent from the error.

Qualified Column Wildcard Rejected¶

Use exactly schema.table.* for PostgreSQL or catalog.schema.table.* for Trino. Keep the parent schema/table or catalog/schema allowlists present. Trino wildcards require restricted mode. Bare *, schema-wide forms, embedded stars, empty or duplicated metadata, schema drift, and expansion beyond the configured column budget fail before aggregate profiling. Replace the wildcard with reviewed exact columns when the table is wider than the intended profiling scope.

SQL Query Source Rejected¶

Pass one UTF-8 file to profile-query; SQL text is not accepted in an option or environment variable. SQL source policy 1.1 permits one fully qualified, single-table SELECT with explicit output aliases, bounded filters, and the documented deterministic scalar subset. Remove joins, CTEs, subqueries, set or window operations, table functions, comments, volatile/unknown functions, multiple statements, and unauthorized tables or columns.

Aliased SUM/COUNT/MIN/MAX/AVG and explicit-source-column GROUP BY are allowed. Other selected columns must be grouping keys. Remove nested/wrapped aggregates, DISTINCT aggregates, HAVING, grouping expressions/ordinals and grouping sets. Sensitive-name source references remain blocked for grouped/aggregate queries, even with renamed outputs. An accepted aggregate profile is not permission to fetch result rows or automatically infer a dependency-preserving generation spec.

The query file, AST, projected fields, and adapter work must remain inside all configured budgets. A changed file, unsupported type, malformed backend metadata, schema drift, or budget exhaustion fails closed and leaves no profile. Errors intentionally omit SQL text, literals, endpoints, and backend messages; inspect the local reviewed file and allowlists instead.

Transformation Rejected¶

Stable 1.6.0 provides the common-profile CLI/MCP workflow. See the CLI workflow. Published 1.5.0 does not include this command. Registration grants no dataset permission. The finite fictional transformation/session campaign is recorded in stable evidence; it grants no blanket dataset consent.

If the snapshot no longer matches, review the saved inputs, policies and mappings again; validate and execute with the newly returned digest. A receipt for an earlier snapshot cannot authorize the changed one. When preservation is selected, obtain a matching receipt through the separate local terminal workflow; an agent or MCP client cannot issue one.

For a budget refusal, inspect the declared input, review and output limits before selecting another bounded run. Do not interpret partial work or elapsed process time as successful acceptance. If cleanup is incomplete, inspect the reported retained artifacts before retrying into a new destination. Existing files are not permission to overwrite or resume a failed publication.

GigaChat Advice Failed¶

Check the fixed local category first: missing extra, authentication, scope, TLS/CA bundle, rate limit, timeout, filtered response, invalid response, or unavailable service. Remote response bodies and SDK exception text are intentionally suppressed because they may reflect credentials or request metadata.

Configure exactly one of GIGACHAT_CREDENTIALS and GIGACHAT_ACCESS_TOKEN. Match GIGACHAT_SCOPE to the API project, keep TLS verification enabled, and use GIGACHAT_CA_BUNDLE_FILE only for a reviewed readable CA bundle. Do not work around a certificate failure with an insecure SDK example. A failed provider call leaves the workspace awaiting review and does not create generated rows; retry only after correcting the local cause.

GigaChat's structured-output feature is currently beta. The adapter performs a single local baseline-compatibility pass only after initial structured validation fails, then reruns every normal validation. If invalid response persists, the remaining provider proposal is not safe to review; use another supported model or retry later instead of weakening validation.

Command Not Found¶

Symptom:

test-data-agent: command not found

Activate the environment where the package was installed:

source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip show agent-paranoid-android

On Windows PowerShell:

.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python -m pip show agent-paranoid-android

Output Already Exists¶

Folder workflows without overwrite support require a new or empty directory. For example, choose a new path for generate-from-example:

test-data-agent generate-from-example data/example_dataset \
  --count 25 \
  --seed 12345 \
  --format csv \
  --output out/run-002

DatasetSpec generate --overwrite replaces the entire output folder, including obsolete files, after generation and validation. Review the destination first; see folder replacement and rollback.

Single-entity file bundles use separate ownership checks. A different primary filename or format, invalid or missing manifest, stale sidecar, or unrelated sibling is rejected before replacement. Use a new output folder instead of deleting evidence from an incomplete or mixed file bundle. Never point output at a source file or source folder.

Missing Optional Dependency¶

Optional commands print a version-pinned installation command and exit 69. Run that command in the same environment as test-data-agent, then verify the capability locally:

python -m pip install "agent-paranoid-android[postgres]==PACKAGE_VERSION"
test-data-agent doctor --require-extra postgres

Replace the extra and version with the exact values from the error. A passing local doctor check does not verify credentials or contact a remote service.

Malformed Input Or Unexpected Traceback¶

Malformed YAML/JSON and invalid models are normal input failures: they exit 2, publish no success artifact, and do not show a traceback. Use --json in automation to branch on error.code.

Unexpected internal failures exit 70 with a fixed bounded message. Retry with --debug only in a trusted terminal where technical paths and exception context are safe to display. Provider response bodies and credentials remain redacted even in normal provider errors.

Cancelled Operation¶

Ctrl+C exits 130 after catchable staging cleanup or bundle rollback. The message confirms that no successful final bundle was published. Inspect an agent workspace with agent-status; for a non-agent command, keep any unexpected destination for investigation and retry into a new path.

Agent Approval Was Interrupted¶

Inspect the workspace:

test-data-agent agent-status out/agent

When it reports recovery_required, run the exact agent-recover command it prints. Recovery requires the previously reviewed DatasetSpec SHA-256, revalidates the existing generated bundle, and does not generate new rows.

Do not edit files under generated/ before recovery. A changed checkpoint, manifest, report, spec, profile, or row file causes recovery to fail closed.

Process Or Host Stopped During Publication¶

For an agent workspace, run agent-status first. Use agent-recover only when the status reports recovery_required; it revalidates the existing generated bundle before publishing missing completion metadata.

For a non-agent generation command, do not treat a hidden staging directory or a destination without its expected manifest and validation report as success. Confirm that no generation process is still running, retain the incomplete files for investigation when needed, and rerun with the same reviewed inputs and seed into a new destination.

Where an atomic state writer or staged bundle publication is used, replacement prevents readers from observing its partial state during normal operation. Standalone artifact commands are not one global transaction. Shared atomic single-file writes and owned directory publication use fsync, but complete multi-file crash consistency is not guaranteed. A hard process stop, host or storage failure, or power loss can still leave staging data or an incomplete bundle. Use storage with the durability and backup guarantees required by the deployment.

Input Limit Exceeded¶

The error names the failed limit. Prefer splitting an oversized source or reducing requested rows before raising the corresponding environment variable.

When a limit must change, set the smallest value that supports the reviewed workload and keep output and wall-clock limits in proportion.

See Configuration.

Sensitive Value Rejected¶

Profiles and business rules reject values that resemble PII, credentials, tokens, or private keys.

Do not bypass the detector by encoding or fragmenting a production value. Replace it with a semantic rule, a reserved example value, or a generator strategy.

Validation Failed¶

Open:

• validation_report.json;
• business_validation_report.json, when present;
• the effective spec and rule file.

Check the first failing section before changing generation settings. Common causes are an incorrect inferred relationship, impossible field ranges, conflicting formulas, and a business rule that references the wrong field.

Negative and mixed modes can fail validation intentionally. Keep their output separate and label it as invalid test data.

Results Are Not Reproducible¶

Confirm that both runs use the same:

• package version;
• DatasetSpec and its fingerprint;
• business-rule file and fingerprint;
• seed;
• row count, mode, invalid ratio, and format.

File ordering and output encoding should also be compared on the same supported platform.

Trino Allowlists Are Required¶

Set both variables:

export TRINO_ALLOWED_CATALOGS=hive,iceberg
export TRINO_ALLOWED_SCHEMAS=test_data,staging

Do not use TRINO_ALLOW_UNRESTRICTED=true merely to silence configuration errors.

Plain HTTP Is Disabled¶

Use HTTPS for remote Trino. For an isolated local integration instance only:

export TRINO_HTTP_SCHEME=http
export TRINO_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP=true

MCP Path Rejected¶

Move the input or output below TEST_DATA_AGENT_WORKSPACE_ROOT. A textual path that appears to be inside the workspace can still be rejected when an existing symlink resolves outside it.

Use a real directory with no symlink boundary and request a new output path.

Reporting A Security Problem¶

Do not open a public issue containing exploit details, source data, PII, or credentials. Follow the repository security policy.

Known Issues¶

English · Русский

Stable 1.6.0 completed public verification. External acceptance feedback was reconciled against current main on 2026-10-22; the feedback work plan separates historical fixes, current limitations and unverified observations.

• CSV numeric strings can remain phone-like and sensitive. Do not bypass privacy checks or switch exact measures to float to suppress an error; reviewed numeric profiling is planned. Exact decimal generation keeps its existing reviewed --decimal-fields contract.
• Trino already supports explicit runtime authentication over verified HTTPS. The external authentication failure still needs configuration/version evidence; fake-driver tests do not establish acceptance against a particular server.
• Numeric shape supports optional zero/subunit frequencies and a minimum subunit exponent. Older profiles can omit that evidence; reprofile before assuming it exists. A negative exponent is valid for values below one. Parquet distinct counts can be unavailable; missing statistics do not mean zero distinct values.
• Relationship validation checks declared relationships. Missing logical edges, source orphan rates and temporal granularity are not established by a passing validation report. Use reviewed declarations and explicit entity row counts.

These are development follow-ups, not changes already published in 1.6.0.

The separate transformation/session acceptance campaign remains open, including genuine local-terminal preservation acceptance where required. Existing automated and historical RC results do not establish its completion or private-data suitability. Provider adapters remain experimental; resource and artifact durability limits remain in their respective guides.

Resolved findings and their original risk dispositions are retained in Historical Security Findings.
