# Scan Results

> Result objects and detection models

## ScanPipelineResult

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

```python theme={null}
from raxe import Raxe

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

### Boolean Evaluation

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

```python theme={null}
result = raxe.scan("Hello, how are you?")

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

### Example

```python theme={null}
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

```python theme={null}
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']}")
```

***

```

***

## Severity

Enumeration of threat severity levels.

```python theme={null}
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:

```python theme={null}
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:

```python theme={null}
detection.severity.value  # "high"
detection.severity.name   # "HIGH"
```

***

## Filtering Results

### By Severity

```python theme={null}
from raxe import Severity

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

### By Confidence

```python theme={null}
# Get only high confidence detections
confident = [
    d for d in result.detections
    if d.confidence >= 0.9
]
```

### By Category

```python theme={null}
# Get only prompt injection detections
pi_detections = [
    d for d in result.detections
    if d.category == "PI"
]
```

### By Layer

```python theme={null}
# 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:

```python theme={null}
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

```python theme={null}
# Detection to dict
for detection in result.detections:
    detection_data = detection.to_dict()
```

### Custom Serialization

```python theme={null}
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)
```

***

## Type Hints

Full type support for IDE autocompletion:

```python theme={null}
from raxe import Raxe, Detection
from raxe import Severity
from raxe import ScanPipelineResult

def analyze_result(result: ScanPipelineResult) -> dict:
    detections: list[Detection] = result.detections

    return {
        "has_threats": result.has_threats,
        "severity": result.severity,
        "count": result.total_detections,
    }
```
