History and Logs

Call

class Call(ICall, ArbitraryModel)

A Call represents a single execution of a Guard. One Call is created each time the user invokes the Guard.__call__, Guard.parse, or Guard.validate method.

Attributes:

  • iterations Stack[Iteration] - A stack of iterations for the initial validation round and one for each reask that occurs during a Call.
  • inputs CallInputs - The inputs as passed in to Guard.__call__, Guard.parse, or Guard.validate
  • exception Optional[Exception] - The exception that interrupted the Guard execution.

@property
def prompt_params() -> Optional[Dict]

The prompt parameters as provided by the user when initializing or calling the Guard.

messages

@property
def messages() -> Optional[Union[Messages, list[dict[str, str]]]]

The messages as provided by the user when initializing or calling the Guard.

@property
def compiled_messages() -> Optional[list[dict[str, str]]]

The initial compiled messages that were passed to the LLM on the first call.

def reask_messages() -> Stack[Messages]

The compiled messages used during reasks.

Does not include the initial messages.

logs

@property
def logs() -> Stack[str]

Returns all logs from all iterations as a stack.

tokens_consumed

@property
def tokens_consumed() -> Optional[int]

Returns the total number of tokens consumed during all iterations with this call.

def prompt_tokens_consumed() -> Optional[int]

Returns the total number of prompt tokens consumed during all iterations with this call.

@property
def completion_tokens_consumed() -> Optional[int]

Returns the total number of completion tokens consumed during all iterations with this call.

raw_outputs

@property
def raw_outputs() -> Stack[str]

The outputs from the LLM after undergoing parsing but before validation.

validation_response

@property
def validation_response() -> Optional[Union[str, List, Dict, ReAsk]]

The aggregated responses from the validation process across all iterations within the current call.

This value could contain ReAsks.

fixed_output

@property

guarded_output

@property
def guarded_output() -> Optional[Union[str, List, Dict]]

The complete validated output after all stages of validation are completed.

This property contains the aggregate validated output after all validation stages have been completed. Some values in the validated output may be "fixed" values that were corrected during validation.

This will only have a value if the Guard is in a passing state OR if the action is no-op.

reasks

@property
def reasks() -> Stack[ReAsk]

Reasks generated during validation that could not be automatically fixed.

These would be incorporated into the prompt for the next LLM call if additional reasks were granted.

@property
def validator_logs() -> Stack[ValidatorLogs]

The results of each individual validation performed on the LLM responses during all iterations.

error

@property
def error() -> Optional[str]

failed_validations

@property
def failed_validations() -> Stack[ValidatorLogs]

The validator logs for any validations that failed during the entirety of the run.

status

@property
def status() -> str

Returns the cumulative status of the run based on the validity of the final merged output.

tree

@property
def tree() -> Tree

The output from the LLM after undergoing parsing but before validation.

validation_response

@property
def validation_response() -> Optional[Union[ReAsk, str, List, Dict]]

The response from a single stage of validation.

Validation response is the output of a single stage of validation and could be a combination of valid output and reasks. Note that a Guard may run validation multiple times if reasks occur. To access the final output after all steps of validation are completed, check out Call.guarded_output."

guarded_output

@property
def guarded_output() -> Optional[Union[str, List, Dict]]

Some values in the validated output may be "fixed" values that were corrected during validation. This property may be a partial structure if field level reasks occur.
