Getting Started

OpenBox integrates with your existing workflow engine by wrapping the worker process. All trust configuration happens in the OpenBox dashboard - your code stays clean.

Prerequisites​

  • A workflow engine (currently Temporal Python is supported)
  • An OpenBox account with API key
  • Python 3.9+

The SDK does one thing: wraps your workflow engine worker to intercept events and apply trust controls. Everything else - policies, guardrails, approvals, monitoring - is configured in the dashboard.
