Pending verification of agentTrust configuration option but can add later

ryanbas21

@ancheetah Can we just get a confirmation that we do not intend to release the signals SDK here?

This would be considered a major change i'd think.

cerebrl

Just a few questions and suggestions.

+# PingOne Protect

-The Ping Protect module is intended to be used along with the ForgeRock JavaScript SDK to provide the Ping Protect feature.
+The PingOne Protect module provides an API for interacting with the PingOne Signals (Protect) SDK to perform risk evaluations. It can be used with either a PingOne AIC/PingAM authentication journey with Protect callbacks or with a PingOne DaVinci flow with Protect connectors.


To keep things symmetric, I'd use Nodes and Connectors, or use Callbacks and Collectors. In the above sentence your using terms from different categories.

Good point. I'll change this to callbacks and collectors here. I do use the term connectors in the DaVinci section but I think it is more clear there the relationship between collectors and connectors.

ping-javascript-sdk/packages/protect/README.md

Line 183 in a7e22ea

Alternatively, you can delay the initialization until you receive the instruction from the server by way of the `ProtectCollector`. To do this, you would call the `start` method when the collector is present in the flow. The Protect collector is returned from the server when it is configured with either a PingOne Forms connector or HTTP connector with Custom HTML Template.

cerebrl · 2025-08-06T15:02:45Z

packages/protect/README.md

+```js
+// PingOneProtectInitializeCallback methods
+callback.getConfig();
+callback.setClientError();
+```
+
+```js
+// PingOneProtectEvaluationCallback methods
+callback.setData();
+callback.setClientError();
+callback.getPauseBehavioralData();
+```


This may be a bit confusing for readers. This example block of APIs are really about this module but about the callback methods from the legacy SDK. We should probably preface this with a bit of explanation and also distinguish it from DaVinci Collectors.

What about removing this from the Full API section and moving it into a section at the bottom of the AIC quickstart with the title Protect Callback Methods. It would have some description like Relevant callback methods for PingOneProtectInitializeCallback and PingOneProtectEvaluationCallback.

We could even just remove these lines altogether since they're already covered in the quickstart.

If we already cover it in a different section, let's go with your second statement.

cerebrl · 2025-08-06T15:05:53Z

packages/protect/README.md

 ```

-The `@pingidentity/protect` module has a `protect()` function that accepts configuration options and returns a set of methods for interacting with Protect. The two main responsibilities of the Ping Protect module are the initialization of the profiling and data collection and the completion and preparation of the collected data for the server. You can find these two methods on the API returned by `protect()`.

You can find these two methods on the API returned by `protect()`.


What was the reason for converting Ping to PingOne? I also noticed the one above. PingOne specifically refers to the multi-tenant, server product, of which this module doesn't directly relate to it.

My bad, didn't know this. I can change it back everywhere. I updated it to PingOne because that is how I saw Protect being referred to everywhere in the docs. But I suppose the module isn't necessarily the same thing.
https://docs.pingidentity.com/sdks/latest/sdks/integrations/integrate-with-pingone-protect.html
https://docs.pingidentity.com/connectors/p1_protect_connector.html

Yeah, in the context of building a DaVinci flow, the Protect feature is configured and comes from the PingOne server and implemented wit that connector. But, from an SDK standpoint, PingOne itself is never directly used, and all interaction is with DaVinci.

Changed it back to just 'Ping' everywhere where it should be. Let me know if I missed one.

packages/protect/README.md

 let data;

 if (step.getCallbacksOfType('PingOneProtectEvaluationCallback')) {
  try {


I'd like to prevent the wrapping of these methods with a try-catch. I wonder if we should at least have an internal try-catch to prevent this burden on the user.

We could add an internal try-catch to each method in our module to ensure they only return an error object instead of throwing. This does simplify the error handling section as well since we would be able to remove the try catches there too.

I think this would be good as it would help align this module more with our other modules where "throwing errors" is completely avoided.

cerebrl · 2025-08-06T15:14:31Z

packages/protect/README.md

    // Asynchronous call
-    data = await protectAPI.getData();
+    data = await protectApi.getData();
+    if (typeof data !== 'string' && 'error' in data) {


The convention I have in my head for recommended patterns is something like this (which you're very close to):

const result = api.method(); if ('error' in result) { // handle error and return early } // handle success

My intent is for all errors to have an error property, so this can be relied on across all of our modules. If this is present, they have an error, if not, they have a success.

We can do this for most of the methods except for getData because the return type is a string instead of void. If you remove the typeof data !== 'string' check then you'll get a typescript error:

Type 'string | { error: unknown; }' is not assignable to type 'object'. Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'object'.

Hmm, yeah, makes sense. I wonder if it's worth it to have a discussion around functions that return a primitive but also return errors. That would prevent the need to handle two different kinds of data types.

+
+When calling `protect()`, you have many different options to configure what and how the data is collected. The most important and required of these settings is the `envId`. All other settings are optional.
+
+The `start` method can be called at application startup, or when you receive the `ProtectCollector` from the server. We recommend you call `start` as soon as you can to collect as much data as possible for higher accuracy.


I'd like to emphasize this a bit more than this paragraph. Can we use headers for the different approaches and place "(recommended)" in the header text for startup time approach?
