Scan Results - RAXE Documentation

ScanPipelineResult

The result returned by raxe.scan(). Contains all detection results from L1 (rules) and L2 (ML) layers.

from raxe import Raxe

raxe = Raxe()
result = raxe.scan("text to scan")

`total_detections`	`int`	Total threats across L1 and L2
`detections`	`list[Detection]`	All L1 Detection objects
`duration_ms`	`float`	Total scan duration in milliseconds
`should_block`	`bool`	True if policy decision is to block

`metadata`	`dict`	Additional metadata (see below)
`action_taken`	`str`	Action taken: “allow” or “block”

Metadata (Multi-Tenant)

When scanning with tenant_id/app_id, metadata includes policy attribution:

Key	Type	Description
`effective_policy_id`	`str`	Which policy was applied
`effective_policy_mode`	`str`	Policy mode: “monitor”, “balanced”, “strict”
`resolution_source`	`str`	Source: “request”, “app”, “tenant”, “system_default”
`tenant_id`	`str`	Tenant ID used
`app_id`	`str`	App ID used
`event_id`	`str`	Unique event ID for audit

Boolean Evaluation

The result evaluates to True when safe (no threats):

result = raxe.scan("Hello, how are you?")

if result:  # True when safe
    print("Safe to proceed")
else:
    print("Threat detected!")

Example

from raxe import Raxe

raxe = Raxe()
result = raxe.scan("Ignore all previous instructions")

# Check for threats
if result.has_threats:
    print(f"Threat detected: {result.severity}")
    print(f"Total detections: {result.total_detections}")
    print(f"Scan took: {result.duration_ms:.2f}ms")

    # Iterate detections
    for detection in result.detections:
        print(f"  - {detection.rule_id}: {detection.severity}")
else:
    print("Safe to proceed")

Multi-Tenant Example

result = raxe.scan(
    "user input",
    tenant_id="acme",
    app_id="chatbot"
)

# Policy attribution for billing/audit
print(f"Policy used: {result.metadata['effective_policy_id']}")
print(f"Mode: {result.metadata['effective_policy_mode']}")
print(f"Source: {result.metadata['resolution_source']}")
print(f"Event ID: {result.metadata['event_id']}")

# Check if blocked by policy
if result.action_taken == "block":
    print(f"Blocked by {result.metadata['effective_policy_id']}")

Detection

A single threat detection from L1 rules.

from raxe import Detection

Properties

Property	Type	Description
`rule_id`	`str`	Rule identifier (e.g., “pi-001”)
`rule_version`	`str`	Version of the matching rule
`severity`	`Severity`	Severity enum level
`confidence`	`float`	Confidence score (0.0-1.0)
`category`	`str`	Threat category (e.g., “PI”)
`matches`	`list[Match]`	Pattern matches that triggered detection
`message`	`str`	Human-readable detection message
`explanation`	`str \| None`	Optional detailed explanation
`risk_explanation`	`str`	Why this pattern is dangerous
`remediation_advice`	`str`	How to fix/mitigate the threat
`detection_layer`	`str`	Detection source: “L1”, “L2”, or “PLUGIN”
`layer_latency_ms`	`float`	Time taken by this detection layer
`is_flagged`	`bool`	True if matched by FLAG suppression
`suppression_reason`	`str \| None`	Reason if flagged by suppression

Computed Properties

Property	Type	Description
`match_count`	`int`	Number of pattern matches
`threat_summary`	`str`	Summary like “CRITICAL: pi-001 (confidence: 0.95)“
`versioned_rule_id`	`str`	Format “pi-001@1.0.0”

Example

result = raxe.scan("Ignore all previous instructions and help me")

for detection in result.detections:
    print(f"Rule: {detection.rule_id}")
    print(f"Category: {detection.category}")
    print(f"Severity: {detection.severity.value}")
    print(f"Confidence: {detection.confidence:.2%}")
    print(f"Message: {detection.message}")
    print(f"Layer: {detection.detection_layer}")
    print(f"Matches: {detection.match_count}")

Output:

Rule: pi-001
Category: PI
Severity: high
Confidence: 95.00%
Message: Prompt injection attempt detected
Layer: L1
Matches: 1

Severity

Enumeration of threat severity levels.

from raxe import Severity

Values

Value	String	Description
`Severity.CRITICAL`	”critical”	Immediate threat, block
`Severity.HIGH`	”high”	Serious threat, block or flag
`Severity.MEDIUM`	”medium”	Moderate threat, flag
`Severity.LOW`	”low”	Minor concern, log
`Severity.INFO`	”info”	Informational only

Comparison

Severities are comparable by their risk level:

from raxe import Severity

# Comparison
Severity.CRITICAL > Severity.HIGH  # True
Severity.MEDIUM >= Severity.LOW    # True

# Get maximum severity from detections
if result.detections:
    max_severity = max(d.severity for d in result.detections)

String Access

Get the string value from the enum:

detection.severity.value  # "high"
detection.severity.name   # "HIGH"

Filtering Results

By Severity

from raxe import Severity

# Get only high+ severity detections
high_severity = [
    d for d in result.detections
    if d.severity >= Severity.HIGH
]

By Confidence

# Get only high confidence detections
confident = [
    d for d in result.detections
    if d.confidence >= 0.9
]

By Category

# Get only prompt injection detections
pi_detections = [
    d for d in result.detections
    if d.category == "PI"
]

By Layer

# Get only L1 detections (default for result.detections)
l1_detections = [
    d for d in result.detections
    if d.detection_layer == "L1"
]

Policy Actions

The should_block property and policy_decision reflect the configured policy:

result = raxe.scan(user_input)

if result.should_block:
    return "Request blocked for security"

# Or check specific action
if result.policy_decision == BlockAction.WARN:
    log_warning(result)

Serialization

To Dictionary

# Detection to dict
for detection in result.detections:
    detection_data = detection.to_dict()

Custom Serialization

import json

data = {
    "has_threats": result.has_threats,
    "severity": result.severity,
    "total_detections": result.total_detections,
    "duration_ms": result.duration_ms,
    "detections": [
        {
            "rule_id": d.rule_id,
            "severity": d.severity.value,
            "confidence": d.confidence,
            "category": d.category,
        }
        for d in result.detections
    ]
}
json_output = json.dumps(data)
