π¦ LangChain
Wrap LangChain agents with kernel-level governance β No code rewrites required
Overview
The Agent OS LangChain integration provides a seamless way to wrap your existing LangChain agents, chains, and tools with kernel-level governance. This integration intercepts all agent actions, tool calls, and LLM requests to enforce policies before executionβwithout requiring any changes to your existing code.
- Zero Code Changes: Wrap existing agents with a single line
- Full Coverage: Intercept agents, chains, tools, and callbacks
- Policy Enforcement: Automatic compliance with organizational policies
- Audit Trail: Complete logging via the Flight Recorder
- Streaming Compatible: Works with LangChain's streaming APIs

Basic Usage
The simplest way to add governance to your LangChain agents is to wrap
the AgentExecutor with the kernel wrapper.
Wrapping AgentExecutor
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, create_openai_functions_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain.tools import Tool
from langchain import hub
from agent_os.integrations import langchain_kernel
# Create your standard LangChain agent
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4", temperature=0)
prompt = hub.pull("hwchase17/openai-functions-agent")
tools = [
Tool(
name="search",
func=lambda q: f"Search results for: {q}",
description="Search the web for information"
),
Tool(
name="calculator",
func=lambda x: eval(x),
description="Perform mathematical calculations"
)
]
agent = create_openai_functions_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools, verbose=True)
# Wrap with Agent OS governance - ONE LINE
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(agent_executor)
# Execute with full kernel protection
result = governed_agent.invoke({"input": "What is 25 * 4?"})
print(result["output"])
With Policy Configuration
from agent_os.integrations import langchain_kernel
from agent_os.policies import Policy
# Define a custom policy
policy = Policy(
name="data-analysis-policy",
rules={
"max_iterations": 10,
"allowed_tools": ["search", "calculator", "python_repl"],
"blocked_tools": ["shell", "file_delete"],
"require_human_approval": ["file_write", "api_call"],
"timeout_seconds": 60
}
)
# Wrap with policy
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent_executor,
policy=policy,
audit_log=True,
on_violation="raise" # or "warn", "block_silent"
)
# All actions now validated against policy
try:
result = governed_agent.invoke({"input": "Delete all files in /tmp"})
except langchain_kernel.PolicyViolationError as e:
print(f"Blocked: {e.violation_reason}")
print(f"Attempted tool: {e.tool_name}")
print(f"Policy rule: {e.rule_violated}")
Quick Start Patterns
from agent_os.integrations import langchain_kernel
# Pattern 1: Strict mode - block all violations
governed = langchain_kernel.wrap(agent, policy="strict")
# Pattern 2: Permissive mode with logging
governed = langchain_kernel.wrap(agent, policy="permissive", audit_log=True)
# Pattern 3: Custom policy file
governed = langchain_kernel.wrap(agent, policy="./policies/my-policy.yaml")
# Pattern 4: Environment-based policy
governed = langchain_kernel.wrap(agent, policy_env="AGENT_POLICY")
# Pattern 5: With callback integration
governed = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent,
callbacks=[my_callback_handler],
emit_kernel_events=True
)
LCEL Chain Integration
Agent OS provides first-class support for LangChain Expression Language (LCEL) chains.
Wrap any Runnable to add governance to your chain pipelines.
Wrapping LCEL Chains
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from agent_os.integrations import langchain_kernel
# Build an LCEL chain
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
("system", "You are a helpful assistant that summarizes text."),
("user", "Summarize the following text:\n\n{text}")
])
chain = prompt | ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4") | StrOutputParser()
# Wrap the entire chain with governance
governed_chain = langchain_kernel.wrap_chain(chain)
# Invoke with kernel protection
result = governed_chain.invoke({"text": "Long document content here..."})
Wrapping Individual Runnables
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnablePassthrough, RunnableLambda
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import GovernedRunnable
# Wrap specific components in your chain
def sensitive_operation(data: dict) -> dict:
# This function handles PII
return {"processed": data["input"].upper()}
# Create governed runnable
governed_op = GovernedRunnable(
runnable=RunnableLambda(sensitive_operation),
policy={
"pii_detection": True,
"log_inputs": False, # Don't log PII
"log_outputs": True
}
)
# Use in chain
chain = (
{"input": RunnablePassthrough()}
| governed_op
| prompt
| llm
| StrOutputParser()
)
Chain Composition with Governance
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import (
GovernedChain,
ChainPolicy,
InputValidator,
OutputFilter
)
# Define chain-level policies
chain_policy = ChainPolicy(
name="summarization-chain",
input_validators=[
InputValidator.max_length(10000),
InputValidator.no_pii(),
InputValidator.language("en")
],
output_filters=[
OutputFilter.max_tokens(500),
OutputFilter.no_harmful_content(),
OutputFilter.add_disclaimer("AI-generated summary")
],
execution_limits={
"timeout_seconds": 30,
"max_retries": 2,
"rate_limit": "10/minute"
}
)
# Build governed chain
governed_chain = GovernedChain(
chain=prompt | llm | parser,
policy=chain_policy
)
# Automatic validation on invoke
result = governed_chain.invoke({"text": input_text})
# Access governance metadata
print(governed_chain.last_execution.validation_report)
print(governed_chain.last_execution.filters_applied)
Parallel Chain Governance
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableParallel
from agent_os.integrations import langchain_kernel
# Parallel chains with independent governance
analysis_chain = prompt_analysis | llm | parser_analysis
summary_chain = prompt_summary | llm | parser_summary
sentiment_chain = prompt_sentiment | llm | parser_sentiment
parallel = RunnableParallel(
analysis=langchain_kernel.wrap_chain(analysis_chain, policy="analysis"),
summary=langchain_kernel.wrap_chain(summary_chain, policy="summary"),
sentiment=langchain_kernel.wrap_chain(sentiment_chain, policy="sentiment")
)
# Each branch governed independently
results = parallel.invoke({"text": document})
# {
# "analysis": "...",
# "summary": "...",
# "sentiment": "..."
# }
Tool Call Interception
The LangChain kernel provides fine-grained control over tool execution, allowing you to validate, modify, or block tool calls before they execute.
Tool Allowlists and Blocklists
from agent_os.integrations import langchain_kernel
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import ToolPolicy
# Define tool-level policies
tool_policy = ToolPolicy(
# Explicitly allowed tools
allowlist=["search", "calculator", "weather"],
# Explicitly blocked tools
blocklist=["shell", "file_delete", "exec"],
# Tools requiring human approval
approval_required=["file_write", "send_email", "database_write"],
# Default action for unlisted tools
default_action="block" # or "allow", "prompt"
)
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent_executor,
tool_policy=tool_policy
)
Input/Output Validation
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import ToolInterceptor
class CustomToolInterceptor(ToolInterceptor):
"""Custom interceptor for sensitive tools."""
def before_tool_call(self, tool_name: str, tool_input: dict) -> dict:
"""Validate and potentially modify tool inputs."""
# Log the attempted call
self.kernel.emit("tool:call:attempt", {
"tool": tool_name,
"input": tool_input,
"agent_id": self.agent_id
})
# Validate search queries
if tool_name == "search":
query = tool_input.get("query", "")
# Check for blocked terms
blocked_terms = ["password", "secret", "api_key"]
for term in blocked_terms:
if term in query.lower():
raise langchain_kernel.ToolBlockedError(
f"Search query contains blocked term: {term}"
)
# Sanitize query
tool_input["query"] = self.sanitize_query(query)
return tool_input
def after_tool_call(self, tool_name: str, tool_output: str) -> str:
"""Filter tool outputs before returning to agent."""
# Filter PII from outputs
filtered_output = self.pii_filter.filter(tool_output)
# Log the result
self.kernel.emit("tool:call:complete", {
"tool": tool_name,
"output_length": len(filtered_output),
"pii_filtered": filtered_output != tool_output
})
return filtered_output
# Use custom interceptor
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent_executor,
tool_interceptor=CustomToolInterceptor()
)
Per-Tool Policies
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import ToolGovernor
# Define granular per-tool policies
tool_governor = ToolGovernor({
"search": {
"rate_limit": "30/minute",
"max_query_length": 500,
"blocked_domains": ["malware.com", "phishing.net"],
"require_attribution": True
},
"calculator": {
"allowed_operations": ["+", "-", "*", "/", "**", "sqrt"],
"max_value": 1e15,
"timeout_ms": 1000
},
"python_repl": {
"sandbox": "restricted",
"allowed_imports": ["math", "statistics", "datetime"],
"blocked_functions": ["exec", "eval", "open", "os.system"],
"max_execution_time": 5,
"max_memory_mb": 256
},
"file_read": {
"allowed_paths": ["/data/public/*", "/tmp/agent/*"],
"blocked_extensions": [".env", ".key", ".pem"],
"max_file_size_mb": 10
},
"database_query": {
"read_only": True,
"allowed_tables": ["products", "categories", "reviews"],
"max_rows": 1000,
"timeout_seconds": 30
}
})
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent_executor,
tool_governor=tool_governor
)
Dynamic Tool Authorization
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import DynamicToolAuth
class ContextAwareAuth(DynamicToolAuth):
"""Authorization based on runtime context."""
async def authorize(
self,
tool_name: str,
tool_input: dict,
context: dict
) -> bool:
"""Determine if tool call should be allowed."""
user_role = context.get("user_role", "guest")
data_classification = context.get("data_classification", "public")
# Role-based access control
tool_permissions = {
"admin": ["*"], # All tools
"analyst": ["search", "calculator", "database_query"],
"viewer": ["search"],

}
allowed = tool_permissions.get(user_role, [])
if "*" not in allowed and tool_name not in allowed:
return False
# Data classification checks
if data_classification == "confidential":
if tool_name in ["search", "send_email"]:
return False
return True
async def on_denied(
self,
tool_name: str,
reason: str,
context: dict
):
"""Handle denied tool calls."""
await self.audit_log.record({
"event": "tool_access_denied",
"tool": tool_name,
"reason": reason,
"user": context.get("user_id"),
"timestamp": datetime.utcnow()
})
# Use dynamic authorization
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent_executor,
tool_auth=ContextAwareAuth(),
context={"user_role": "analyst", "data_classification": "internal"}
)
Streaming Support
Agent OS fully supports LangChain's streaming APIs, allowing you to stream governed responses in real-time while maintaining policy enforcement.
Basic Streaming
from agent_os.integrations import langchain_kernel
# Wrap agent with streaming support
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent_executor,
streaming=True
)
# Stream tokens
async for chunk in governed_agent.astream({"input": "Write a poem about AI safety"}):
print(chunk, end="", flush=True)
# Stream events
async for event in governed_agent.astream_events(
{"input": "Analyze this data"},
version="v2"
):
if event["event"] == "on_chat_model_stream":
print(event["data"]["chunk"].content, end="")
elif event["event"] == "on_tool_start":
print(f"\n[Tool: {event['name']}]")
elif event["event"] == "on_kernel_violation":
print(f"\n[BLOCKED: {event['data']['reason']}]")
Streaming with Content Filtering
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import StreamingGovernor
# Configure streaming-aware content filtering
streaming_governor = StreamingGovernor(
# Buffer tokens to detect multi-token violations
buffer_size=50,
# Real-time content filters
filters=[
"pii_detector", # Detect SSN, credit cards, etc.
"profanity_filter", # Block inappropriate language
"prompt_injection", # Detect injection attempts
],
# Action on violation during stream
on_violation="truncate", # or "replace", "stop"
# Replacement text when filtering
replacement="[FILTERED]"
)
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent_executor,
streaming=True,
streaming_governor=streaming_governor
)
# Stream with automatic filtering
async for chunk in governed_agent.astream({"input": query}):
# Chunks are already filtered
print(chunk.content, end="")
Event Streaming with Kernel Events
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import KernelEventStream
# Enable kernel event injection into stream
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent_executor,
streaming=True,
emit_kernel_events=True
)
# Process mixed stream of LangChain and Kernel events
async for event in governed_agent.astream_events({"input": query}, version="v2"):
event_type = event["event"]
# Standard LangChain events
if event_type == "on_chat_model_stream":
yield event["data"]["chunk"].content
elif event_type == "on_tool_start":
yield f"\nπ§ Using tool: {event['name']}\n"
# Agent OS Kernel events
elif event_type == "on_kernel_policy_check":
policy_result = event["data"]
if policy_result["allowed"]:
yield f"β
Policy check passed: {policy_result['rule']}\n"
else:
yield f"β Policy violation: {policy_result['reason']}\n"
elif event_type == "on_kernel_audit":
yield f"π Audit: {event['data']['message']}\n"
elif event_type == "on_kernel_rate_limit":
yield f"β±οΈ Rate limit: {event['data']['wait_seconds']}s\n"
Batch Streaming
# Process multiple inputs with streaming
inputs = [
{"input": "Summarize document A"},
{"input": "Summarize document B"},
{"input": "Summarize document C"}
]
# Batch with individual streams
async for batch_idx, stream in governed_agent.astream_batch(inputs):
print(f"\n--- Document {batch_idx + 1} ---")
async for chunk in stream:
print(chunk.content, end="")
# Or collect all with governance
results = await governed_agent.abatch(
inputs,
config={"max_concurrency": 3}
)
# Each result includes governance metadata
for i, result in enumerate(results):
print(f"Result {i}: {result['output']}")
print(f"Governance: {result['_kernel_metadata']}")

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Issue: PolicyViolationError on legitimate tool calls
Symptom: Tools that should be allowed are being blocked.
# Check which policy is blocking the tool
from agent_os.integrations import langchain_kernel
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(agent, policy="strict")
# Enable debug mode
governed_agent.debug = True
# See policy evaluation
result = governed_agent.evaluate_tool_call("search", {"query": "test"})
print(result.decision) # "allow" or "deny"
print(result.matched_rule) # Which rule triggered
print(result.explanation) # Human-readable explanation
# Solution: Update tool allowlist
governed_agent.update_tool_policy(allowlist_add=["search"])
Issue: Streaming not working with governance
Symptom: Stream returns all at once or hangs.
# Ensure streaming is enabled at wrap time
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent,
streaming=True, # Must be True
stream_buffer_size=20 # Reduce if latency is high
)
# Use async streaming methods
async for chunk in governed_agent.astream({"input": query}):
print(chunk.content, end="")
# NOT sync iteration (won't work properly)
# for chunk in governed_agent.stream({"input": query}): # β
Issue: High latency with governance wrapper
Symptom: Governed agent is significantly slower than unwrapped.
# Diagnose latency
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import PerformanceProfiler
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent,
profiler=PerformanceProfiler(enabled=True)
)
result = governed_agent.invoke({"input": query})
# Get timing breakdown
profile = governed_agent.last_execution_profile
print(f"Total time: {profile.total_ms}ms")
print(f" Policy checks: {profile.policy_check_ms}ms")
print(f" Tool validation: {profile.tool_validation_ms}ms")
print(f" Audit logging: {profile.audit_ms}ms")
print(f" LangChain execution: {profile.langchain_ms}ms")
# Solutions:
# 1. Disable unnecessary features
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent,
audit_log=False, # Disable if not needed
telemetry=False,
streaming_governor=None # Skip stream filtering
)
# 2. Use async for better throughput
result = await governed_agent.ainvoke({"input": query})
# 3. Batch requests
results = await governed_agent.abatch(inputs, max_concurrency=5)
Issue: Memory/conversation not persisting
Symptom: Agent doesn't remember previous interactions.
# Memory isolation is ON by default for security
# To enable persistence, configure memory explicitly
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory
from agent_os.integrations.langchain import GovernedMemory
# Wrap memory with governance
memory = ConversationBufferMemory(return_messages=True)
governed_memory = GovernedMemory(
memory=memory,
max_history=50,
pii_filter=True,
session_isolation=True # Isolate by session ID
)
# Use with agent
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent,
memory=governed_memory,
memory_isolation=False # Allow persistence
)
# Different sessions are isolated
result1 = governed_agent.invoke(
{"input": "My name is Alice"},
config={"session_id": "session_1"}
)
result2 = governed_agent.invoke(
{"input": "What's my name?"},
config={"session_id": "session_2"} # Different session
)
# result2 won't know the name from session_1
Debug Mode
# Enable comprehensive debugging
import logging
# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logger = logging.getLogger("agent_os.langchain")
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
# Enable debug mode on wrapper
governed_agent = langchain_kernel.wrap(
agent,
debug=True,
verbose=True
)
# Inspect internal state
print(governed_agent.kernel.state)
print(governed_agent.policy_engine.active_rules)
print(governed_agent.tool_governor.permissions)
# Get detailed execution trace
result = governed_agent.invoke({"input": query})
trace = governed_agent.last_execution_trace
for event in trace.events:
print(f"{event.timestamp} | {event.type} | {event.data}")
