roam-sdk

Python SDK for the OAM (Object Agent Mapping) framework. Connects Python applications to the OAM runtime over gRPC with SQLAlchemy model registration and all three schema modes.

Installation

pip install roam-sdk
# or with uv
uv add roam-sdk

Quick Start

from roam_sdk import RoamClient
from roam_sdk.v1.agent import service_pb2

client = RoamClient(address="localhost:50051", api_key="your-api-key")
client.connect()

# Register as a DATA_FIRST agent (read-only, DB introspection)
client.register("my-agent", "1.0.0", service_pb2.SchemaMode.DATA_FIRST)

# Execute a query
response = client.execute_query("SELECT * FROM organizations LIMIT 10")

client.close()

Schema Modes

from roam_sdk.v1.agent import service_pb2

# DATA_FIRST — Discovery mode. Read-only. Backend introspects DB schema.
client.register("agent", "1.0", service_pb2.SchemaMode.DATA_FIRST)

# CODE_FIRST — App extension mode. Only registered models are queryable. Read-write.
client.register("agent", "1.0", service_pb2.SchemaMode.CODE_FIRST)

# HYBRID — Registered models first, introspection fallback. Read-only.
client.register("agent", "1.0", service_pb2.SchemaMode.HYBRID)

Mode	Description	Access
DATA_FIRST	DB introspection — no model registration needed	Read-only
CODE_FIRST	Registered models only — code-defined validation	Read-write
HYBRID	Registered models + introspection fallback	Read-only

SQLAlchemy Model Registration

Use RoamDeclarativeBase as the base for your SQLAlchemy models to enable CODE_FIRST or HYBRID registration:

from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase
from roam_sdk import RoamClient, RoamDeclarativeBase
from roam_sdk.v1.agent import service_pb2

class Base(RoamDeclarativeBase, DeclarativeBase):
    pass

class Organization(Base):
    """Tenant organization model."""
    __tablename__ = "organizations"

    id: int
    name: str
    slug: str

client = RoamClient(address="localhost:50051")
client.connect()
client.register("my-agent", "1.0.0", service_pb2.SchemaMode.CODE_FIRST)
client.register_model(Organization)

# Only registered tables are queryable in CODE_FIRST mode
response = client.execute_query("SELECT * FROM organizations")

Runtime Context Headers

Attach request context before calling execute_query:

client.query_context = {
    "organization_id": "org-123",
    "user_id": "user-456",
    "tool_name": "data-explorer",
    "tool_intent": "read",
    "domain_tags": ["identity"],
    "table_names": ["organizations"],
}

These map to the standard ROAM runtime headers (x-roam-organization-id, x-roam-user-id, etc.) and are forwarded on every gRPC call.

Testing

# Unit tests (no backend required)
pytest tests/unit/

# Integration tests (requires running OAM backend)
make grpc-start   # from repo root
