# Tenuo LangGraph Integration

Source: https://tenuo.ai/langgraph

Tenuo stops LangChain agents from doing more than the task requires. A warrant defines which tools the agent may call, the allowed argument values (paths, URLs, shell commands, amounts), and when it expires. Tenuo checks every call before the tool runs and blocks anything outside the warrant, even when the model has been prompt-injected. Warrants are bound to the agent holding them, so a copied warrant can't be used, and authority can only shrink as it passes to sub-agents. With signed receipt collection enabled, each decision over a presented warrant produces verifiable evidence.

See [tenuo.ai](https://tenuo.ai) for the full docs, or the source on [GitHub](https://github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo).

## Why Tenuo for LangGraph?

**Scenario**: You're building a customer support system with tiered agents. Tier 1 agents can refund up to $50. Tier 2 agents can refund up to $500. How do you enforce this?

Without Tenuo, you'd hardcode limits in your tools or add if-statements. But when a prompt injection says "Override the limit and refund $10,000", the LLM might believe it and try.

With Tenuo, the constraint is cryptographically enforced:

```python
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, MessagesState
from tenuo import SigningKey, Warrant, Range
from tenuo.langgraph import TenuoToolNode

# Keys: control plane issues warrants, agents hold them
control_plane_key = SigningKey.generate()
tier1_agent_key = SigningKey.generate()

# Tier 1 agent: can only refund up to $50
tier1_warrant = (Warrant.mint_builder()
    .capability("lookup_order")
    .capability("process_refund", amount=Range(min=0, max=50))
    .holder(tier1_agent_key.public_key)
    .ttl(3600)
    .mint(control_plane_key))

# Tools
@tool
def lookup_order(order_id: str) -> str:
    """Look up an order by ID."""
    return f"Order {order_id}: $120 widget"

@tool
def process_refund(order_id: str, amount: float) -> str:
    """Process a refund for an order."""
    return f"Refunded ${amount} for order {order_id}"

# Build graph with TenuoToolNode (drop-in replacement for ToolNode)
graph_builder = StateGraph(MessagesState)
# ... add your agent node here ...
graph_builder.add_node("tools", TenuoToolNode([lookup_order, process_refund]))
graph = graph_builder.compile()

# Run with warrant in state
result = graph.invoke({
    "messages": [HumanMessage("refund order 123 for $75")],
    "warrant": str(tier1_warrant),
})
```

**What happens when the LLM calls `process_refund(amount=75)`?**

```
1. LLM decides to call process_refund(order_id="123", amount=75)
         ↓
2. TenuoToolNode intercepts the tool call
         ↓
3. Extracts warrant from state, binds signing key from KeyRegistry
         ↓
4. Checks: Is process_refund in warrant? Does amount=75 satisfy Range(min=0, max=50)?
         ↓
5. NO → Returns error ToolMessage. The refund never executes.
```

The warrant is the authority, not the LLM's judgment. Even if the model is tricked into calling `process_refund(amount=10000)`, the warrant says `Range(min=0, max=50)` and the call fails. Period.

## Quick Start

For a LangGraph `StateGraph`, use `TenuoToolNode` as a drop-in replacement for `ToolNode`. For LangChain 1.x `create_agent()`, use `TenuoMiddleware` below.

```python
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, MessagesState
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage
from tenuo import SigningKey, Warrant
from tenuo.langgraph import TenuoToolNode, load_tenuo_keys

# 1. Load keys from environment
load_tenuo_keys()  # Loads TENUO_KEY_DEFAULT, TENUO_KEY_WORKER_1, etc.

issuer = SigningKey.generate()
agent_key = SigningKey.generate()

# 2. Define tools
@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search the web."""
    return f"Results for {query}"

@tool
def read_file(path: str) -> str:
    """Read a file."""
    return open(path).read()

# 3. Build graph with TenuoToolNode (replaces ToolNode)
graph_builder = StateGraph(MessagesState)
# ... add your agent node here ...
graph_builder.add_node("tools", TenuoToolNode([search, read_file]))
graph = graph_builder.compile()

# 4. Mint a warrant and invoke
warrant = (Warrant.mint_builder()
    .capability("search")
    .capability("read_file")
    .holder(agent_key.public_key)
    .ttl(3600)
    .mint(issuer))

result = graph.invoke({
    "messages": [HumanMessage("search for AI papers")],
    "warrant": str(warrant),
})
```

### TenuoToolNode vs TenuoMiddleware

| Feature | TenuoToolNode | TenuoMiddleware |
|---------|---------------|-----------------|
| **Use when** | Existing `StateGraph` / `ToolNode` | LangChain 1.x `create_agent()` |
| **Status** | Stable | Stable |
| **Integration** | Drop-in replacement for `ToolNode` | Native LangChain middleware API |
| **Tool filtering** | No | Auto-hides unauthorized tools from LLM |
| **Requires** | langgraph | `langchain>=1.0` |

Both use the same `enforce_tool_call` path.

---

## TenuoMiddleware (LangChain 1.x `create_agent()`)

> Recommended for `create_agent()`. Requires `langchain>=1.0`. For a custom `StateGraph`, use `TenuoToolNode`.

A runnable example is [`create_agent_middleware.py`](https://github.com/tenuo-ai/tenuo/blob/main/tenuo-python/examples/langchain/create_agent_middleware.py).

```python
from typing import Any

from langchain.agents import create_agent
from langchain.agents.middleware import AgentState
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from tenuo import HolderIdentity, Pattern, Runtime, SigningKey, Warrant
from tenuo.keys import KeyRegistry
from tenuo.langgraph import TenuoMiddleware


@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search customer records. Use the query format ``customers:<term>``."""
    return f"3 records match {query!r}"


@tool
def delete_record(record_id: str) -> str:
    """Delete a customer record."""
    return f"record {record_id} deleted"


class TenuoAgentState(AgentState):
    warrant: Any  # TenuoMiddleware reads the warrant from agent state


issuer_key = SigningKey.generate()  # issues warrants
holder = HolderIdentity.generate()  # the agent's key, used for proof of possession
KeyRegistry.get_instance().register("support-agent", holder.signing_key)

# Collect signed receipts for authorization decisions made over the warrant.
runtime = Runtime(
    identity=holder,
    trusted_roots=[issuer_key.public_key],
    receipts="collect",
)

agent = create_agent(
    model="openai:gpt-4.1",
    tools=[search, delete_record],
    state_schema=TenuoAgentState,
    middleware=[
        TenuoMiddleware(
            key_id="support-agent",
            trusted_roots=[issuer_key.public_key],  # only accept warrants from this issuer
        )
    ],
)

# search is allowed only for customer queries; delete_record is not granted
warrant = (
    Warrant.mint_builder()
    .holder(holder.public_key)
    .capability("search", query=Pattern("customers:*"))
    .ttl(3600)
    .mint(issuer_key)
)

with runtime.bind():
    result = agent.invoke({
        "messages": [HumanMessage("Search customer records for customers:acme")],
        "warrant": str(warrant),  # base64 token; safe to checkpoint
    })

signed_receipts = runtime.peek_receipts()
```

Calls outside the warrant (an ungranted tool, or `search` with a query that does not match `customers:*`) come back to the model as an error `ToolMessage`, and the tool body never runs. The linked example is the deterministic run: it allows `search("customers:acme")`, denies `delete_record`, and verifies the signed allow and deny receipts. This snippet calls a live model, which may choose a different tool call, so `signed_receipts` can be empty.

## Key Concepts

### Keys Stay Out of State

**The Problem**: LangGraph checkpoints state to databases (Redis, Postgres, etc.). If you put a `SigningKey` in state, your private key gets persisted --a serious security risk.

**The Solution**: Warrants travel in state (they're just signed claims, no secrets). Keys stay in `KeyRegistry` (in-memory only). Only a string `key_id` flows through config.

```python
# CORRECT: Warrant as string in state, key_id in config
state = {"warrant": str(warrant), "messages": [...]}  # str() = base64, safe for JSON
config = {"configurable": {"tenuo_key_id": "worker"}}  # Just a string ID
graph.invoke(state, config=config)

# At execution, TenuoToolNode looks up the key from KeyRegistry
# Key never leaves memory, never hits the checkpoint database

# WRONG: Key in state (gets persisted to database!)
state = {"warrant": warrant, "key": signing_key}  # Security risk!
```

### Convention Over Configuration

Load keys automatically from environment variables:

```python
from tenuo.langgraph import load_tenuo_keys

# Before app startup, set env vars:
# TENUO_KEY_DEFAULT=base64encodedkey...
# TENUO_KEY_WORKER_1=base64encodedkey...
# TENUO_KEY_ORCHESTRATOR=base64encodedkey...

load_tenuo_keys()  # Registers all TENUO_KEY_* vars

# Keys are now available:
# - "default" (from TENUO_KEY_DEFAULT)
# - "worker-1" (from TENUO_KEY_WORKER_1)
# - "orchestrator" (from TENUO_KEY_ORCHESTRATOR)
```

---

## API Reference

### `TenuoToolNode`

**Recommended**: drop-in replacement for LangGraph's `ToolNode` with automatic authorization:

```python
from tenuo.langgraph import TenuoToolNode
from langchain_core.tools import tool

@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    return f"Results for {query}"

@tool
def calculator(expression: str) -> str:
    # Use a sandboxed arithmetic parser (e.g. `simpleeval`) in real code.
    # Never pass LLM-provided strings to eval() / exec() / compile().
    from simpleeval import simple_eval
    return str(simple_eval(expression))

# Create secure tool node
tool_node = TenuoToolNode([search, calculator])

# With constraint requirement
tool_node = TenuoToolNode([search, calculator], require_constraints=True)

graph.add_node("tools", tool_node)
```

**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `tools` | `List[BaseTool]` | required | Tools to make available |
| `require_constraints` | `bool` | `False` | Require constraints for sensitive tools |
| `trusted_roots` | `List[PublicKey]` | `None` | Trusted issuer keys to anchor verification on |
| `warrant_chain` | `List[Warrant]` | `None` | Default parents for graphs without a `warrant_chain` state field |
| `key_id` | `str` | `None` | Signing key to use, overriding the config value |

**How it works:**
1. Extracts warrant from state, plus any parents in `warrant_chain`
2. Gets key from registry (via `key_id` in config or "default")
3. Authorizes each tool call via shared enforcement logic
4. Returns error ToolMessage if authorization fails

### `TenuoMiddleware`

Recommended for LangChain 1.x `create_agent()`. Requires `langchain>=1.0`.

```python
from tenuo.langgraph import TenuoMiddleware

# Basic usage
middleware = TenuoMiddleware()

# With configuration
middleware = TenuoMiddleware(
    key_id="worker",      # Explicit key (default: from config or "default")
    filter_tools=True,    # Hide unauthorized tools from LLM (default: True)
    require_constraints=False,  # Require constraints for sensitive tools
)

# Use with create_agent()
from langchain.agents import create_agent

agent = create_agent(
    model="gpt-4.1",
    tools=[search, calculator],
    middleware=[middleware],
)
```

**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `key_id` | `str` | `None` | Key ID to use (overrides config) |
| `filter_tools` | `bool` | `True` | Filter tools shown to LLM based on warrant |
| `require_constraints` | `bool` | `False` | Require constraints for sensitive tools |

**Hooks:**

| Hook | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `wrap_model_call` | Filters tools to only those in warrant |
| `wrap_tool_call` | Authorizes each tool call with PoP |

### `load_tenuo_keys()`

Load signing keys from environment variables matching `TENUO_KEY_*`.

```python
from tenuo.langgraph import load_tenuo_keys

# Naming convention: TENUO_KEY_{NAME} -> key_id="{name}" (lowercase, underscores to hyphens)
# TENUO_KEY_WORKER_1 -> "worker-1"
# TENUO_KEY_DEFAULT -> "default"

load_tenuo_keys()
```

### `KeyRegistry`

Thread-safe in-memory singleton for key management. **Essential for LangGraph** because it keeps private keys out of checkpointed state.

```python
from tenuo import KeyRegistry, SigningKey

registry = KeyRegistry.get_instance()

# At startup: register keys (keys live in memory only)
registry.register("worker", SigningKey.from_env("WORKER_KEY"))
registry.register("orchestrator", SigningKey.from_env("ORCH_KEY"))

# At execution: lookup by ID (the ID is just a string, safe anywhere)
key = registry.get("worker")

# Multi-tenant: namespace keys per tenant
registry.register("worker", key1, namespace="tenant-a")
registry.register("worker", key2, namespace="tenant-b")
```

> See [API Reference](./api-reference#keyregistry) for full method documentation.

### `guard_node(node, key_id=None, inject_warrant=False)`

Wrap a pure node function with Tenuo authorization.

```python
from tenuo.langgraph import guard_node

# Basic usage - key_id from config or "default"
def my_node(state):
    return {"result": "done"}

graph.add_node("my_node", guard_node(my_node))

# Explicit key_id
graph.add_node("worker", guard_node(worker_node, key_id="worker-1"))

# Inject BoundWarrant for advanced use. The injected warrant carries the roots
# from tenuo.configure(trusted_roots=[...]); validate() fails closed without one.
def node_with_warrant(state, bound_warrant):
    if bound_warrant.validate("search", {"query": "test"},
                              warrant_chain=state.get("warrant_chain")):
        return {"authorized": True}
    return {"authorized": False}

graph.add_node("checker", guard_node(node_with_warrant, inject_warrant=True))
```

**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| `node` | `Callable` | The node function to wrap |
| `key_id` | `str` | Key ID to use (default: from config or "default") |
| `inject_warrant` | `bool` | If True, inject `bound_warrant` parameter |

### `@tenuo_node`

Decorator for nodes that need explicit BoundWarrant access:

```python
from tenuo.langgraph import tenuo_node

@tenuo_node
def my_agent(state, bound_warrant):
    # Check permissions
    if bound_warrant.allows("search"):
        # ...
        pass

    # Delegate to sub-agent
    child = bound_warrant.grant(
        to=worker_pubkey,
        allow=["search"],
        ttl=60
    )
    return {"messages": [...], "warrant": str(child)}

graph.add_node("agent", my_agent)
```

---

## Patterns

### Pattern 1: TenuoToolNode (Recommended)

The cleanest integration for any LangGraph graph:

```python
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, MessagesState
from langchain_core.tools import tool
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage
from tenuo import SigningKey, Warrant, Range
from tenuo.langgraph import TenuoToolNode, load_tenuo_keys

load_tenuo_keys()

issuer = SigningKey.generate()
agent_key = SigningKey.generate()

@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search the web."""
    return f"Results for {query}"

@tool
def read_file(path: str) -> str:
    """Read a file."""
    return open(path).read()

@tool
def write_file(path: str, content: str) -> str:
    """Write a file."""
    open(path, "w").write(content)
    return f"Wrote {path}"

# Build graph with TenuoToolNode
graph_builder = StateGraph(MessagesState)
# ... add your agent node here ...
graph_builder.add_node("tools", TenuoToolNode([search, read_file, write_file]))
graph = graph_builder.compile()

# Run with different warrants for different access levels
readonly_warrant = (Warrant.mint_builder()
    .capability("search")
    .capability("read_file")
    .holder(agent_key.public_key)
    .ttl(3600)
    .mint(issuer))

readwrite_warrant = (Warrant.mint_builder()
    .capability("search")
    .capability("read_file")
    .capability("write_file")
    .holder(agent_key.public_key)
    .ttl(3600)
    .mint(issuer))

# Read-only user
result = graph.invoke({
    "messages": [HumanMessage("read config.yaml")],
    "warrant": str(readonly_warrant),
})

# Read-write user
result = graph.invoke({
    "messages": [HumanMessage("write to /tmp/output.txt")],
    "warrant": str(readwrite_warrant),
})
```

### Pattern 2: Pure Nodes with `guard_node()`

Keep your node functions pure (no Tenuo imports):

```python
# nodes.py - Pure business logic
def researcher(state):
    query = state["messages"][-1].content
    results = web_search(query)
    return {"results": results}

def writer(state):
    content = generate_content(state["results"])
    return {"output": content}

# graph.py - Wire up with security
from tenuo.langgraph import guard_node

graph.add_node("researcher", guard_node(researcher, key_id="worker"))
graph.add_node("writer", guard_node(writer, key_id="worker"))
```

### Pattern 3: Nodes that Need Warrant Access

Use `inject_warrant=True` or `@tenuo_node`:

```python
from tenuo.langgraph import guard_node

def smart_router(state, bound_warrant):
    # Route based on available permissions
    if bound_warrant.allows("write_file"):
        return {"next": "writer"}
    elif bound_warrant.allows("search"):
        return {"next": "researcher"}
    else:
        return {"next": "fallback"}

graph.add_node("router", guard_node(smart_router, inject_warrant=True))
```

### Pattern 4: Delegation

A delegated warrant is signed by the agent that delegated it, not by a trusted
root. Presented on its own it is denied with **`Root warrant issuer is not
trusted`**, because the only warrant the verifier sees was issued by a key it
has no reason to trust. The sub-agent must also present the path back to a
trusted root.

Carry that path in a `warrant_chain` state field, root-first and **excluding**
the leaf in `warrant`:

```python
from typing import Annotated, Any, TypedDict
from langgraph.graph.message import add_messages

class State(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]
    warrant: Any        # the agent's own (possibly delegated) warrant
    warrant_chain: list # its parents, root-first, excluding `warrant`
```

Each delegating node appends its own warrant to the chain it received:

```python
from tenuo import Pattern
from tenuo.langgraph import tenuo_node

@tenuo_node
def orchestrator(state, bound_warrant):
    worker_warrant = bound_warrant.grant(
        to=worker_pubkey,
        allow=["search"],
        ttl=60,
        query=Pattern("safe*"),
    )
    return {
        "messages": [...],
        "warrant": worker_warrant,
        "warrant_chain": [*state.get("warrant_chain", []), bound_warrant.warrant],
    }
```

`TenuoToolNode` and `TenuoMiddleware` read the field automatically and verify
the full chain. Entries may be `Warrant` objects or base64 tokens. A chain that
does not hash-link to the leaf, or that does not root in one of
`trusted_roots`, is denied: supplying a chain cannot widen authority, only
prove it.

You only get away without a chain when the delegating agent is itself a trusted
root, which stops being true as soon as a third level appears.

#### Supplying the chain outside state

When a graph cannot thread the field through state, set a default once at
construction:

```python
researcher_tools = TenuoToolNode([search_tool], warrant_chain=[root_warrant])
```

Or wrap the invocation in a chain scope:

```python
from tenuo import SigningKey, Warrant, chain_scope, warrant_scope, key_scope

issuer = SigningKey.generate()
orchestrator = SigningKey.generate()
worker = SigningKey.generate()

root = (Warrant.mint_builder()
    .capability("search").capability("read_file")
    .holder(orchestrator.public_key).ttl(3600).mint(issuer))

child = (root.grant_builder()
    .capability("search")
    .holder(worker.public_key).ttl(1800).grant(orchestrator))

with chain_scope([root]):
    with warrant_scope(child):
        with key_scope(worker):
            # Tool calls here use check_chain for full chain verification
            pass
```

The state field takes precedence over the constructor default, which takes
precedence over `chain_scope()`.

### Pattern 5: Multi-Tenant Key Isolation

Use namespaced keys for tenant isolation:

```python
from tenuo import KeyRegistry

registry = KeyRegistry.get_instance()

# Register tenant-specific keys
registry.register("worker", tenant_a_key, namespace="tenant-a")
registry.register("worker", tenant_b_key, namespace="tenant-b")

# In your node, determine namespace from state/context
def tenant_aware_node(state, bound_warrant):
    tenant_id = state.get("tenant_id", "default")
    key = registry.get("worker", namespace=tenant_id)
    # ...
```

---

## Error Handling

Authorization errors return `ToolMessage` with `status="error"` and canonical wire codes:

```python
# TenuoToolNode returns error messages, not exceptions
result = graph.invoke(state)

for msg in result["messages"]:
    if hasattr(msg, "status") and msg.status == "error":
        print(f"Authorization denied: {msg.content}")
        # Content includes request_id for log correlation
        # Parse wire code from content if needed for programmatic handling
```

### Wire Code Support

For programmatic error handling, all `TenuoError` exceptions include canonical wire codes:

```python
from tenuo.exceptions import TenuoError, ConstraintViolation

try:
    result = graph.invoke(state)
except ConstraintViolation as e:
    print(f"Wire code: {e.get_wire_code()}")  # 1501
    print(f"Wire name: {e.get_wire_name()}")  # "constraint-violation"
    print(f"HTTP status: {e.get_http_status()}")  # 403
```

### Common Errors

| Error | Wire Code | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-----------|-------|-----|
| `ConfigurationError` | 1201 | Missing 'warrant' field in state | Add warrant to state: `{"warrant": str(warrant), ...}` |
| `ConfigurationError` | 1201 | Key not registered | Register key or use `load_tenuo_keys()` |
| `ConfigurationError` | 1201 | No trusted roots configured | Pass `trusted_roots=[...]` or call `tenuo.configure(trusted_roots=[...])` |
| `ToolNotAuthorized` | 1500 | Tool not in warrant | Check warrant constraints with `why_denied()` |
| Denied: `Root warrant issuer is not trusted` | 1400 | Delegated warrant presented without its parents | Add `warrant_chain` to state (see [Pattern 4](#pattern-4-delegation)) |
| Denied: `chain broken: child parent_hash mismatch` | 1405 | `warrant_chain` does not hash-link to the leaf | Present the real parents, root-first, excluding the leaf |
| `ConstraintViolation` | 1501 | Argument violates constraint | Request within bounds |
| `ExpiredError` | 1300 | TTL exceeded | Request fresh warrant |

See [wire format specification](./spec/wire-format-v1#appendix-a-error-code-reference) for the complete list.

---

## Security Notes

### Error Messages are Opaque

By default, authorization errors don't reveal constraint details:

```python
# Client sees: "Authorization denied (ref: abc123)"
# Logs show: "[abc123] Tool 'search' denied: query=/etc/passwd, expected=Pattern(/data/*)"
```

This prevents attackers from learning your constraint boundaries.

### BoundWarrant is Never Serialized

`BoundWarrant` contains a private key and will raise `TypeError` if serialization is attempted:

```python
# This will fail
state["bound_warrant"] = bound_warrant  # TypeError on checkpoint

# Correct: unbind before storing
state["warrant"] = bound_warrant.warrant  # Just the warrant (serializable)
```

### `allows()` is Not Authorization

 
 `allows()` is for UX hints only:
 
 ```python
 # OK for UI hints
 if bound_warrant.allows("delete"):
     show_delete_button()
 
 # WRONG: Not a security check!
 if bound_warrant.allows("delete"):
     delete_database()  # No PoP verification, no issuer check!
 
 # Correct: validate() checks issuer trust, PoP, and constraints
 if bound_warrant.validate("delete", args,
                           warrant_chain=state.get("warrant_chain")):
     delete_database()
 ```

### Lazy Key Binding

`BoundWarrant.bind(key)` performs **lazy validation**. It does not verify that the key matches the warrant's `holder` at binding time.

Instead, validation happens at **usage time** (inside `validate()`). The `validate()` method generates a Proof-of-Possession signature using the bound key. If the key is incorrect, the core Rust logic will reject the signature, and `validate()` will return a failed `ValidationResult`. This ensures security without requiring stateful validation during graph transitions.

`validate()` also checks that the warrant's issuer chains back to a trusted root, so it needs an anchor: the `trusted_roots` argument, the roots given at bind time, `tenuo.configure(trusted_roots=[...])`, or the active `Runtime`. With none of those it raises `ConfigurationError` rather than trusting the warrant's own issuer. Warrants injected by `guard_node` and `@tenuo_node` inherit the configured roots.

---

## Migration from Context-Based API

If you were using `@tenuo_node(Capability(...))` with `mint()`:

```python
# OLD (context-based)

## Human Approval

Add human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive tool calls. Approval gates are defined in the warrant, and `approval_handler` is passed to the adapter. See [Human Approvals](approvals.md) for the full guide.

```python
from tenuo import cli_prompt

# Approval gates are in the warrant:
#   .approval_gates({"delete_database": None})
#   .required_approvers([approver_key.public_key])

# TenuoToolNode (StateGraph)
tool_node = TenuoToolNode(
    tools,
    approval_handler=cli_prompt(approver_key=approver_key),
)

# TenuoMiddleware (create_agent)
middleware = TenuoMiddleware(
    approval_handler=cli_prompt(approver_key=approver_key),
)
```
