Agent Environment

Overview

AgentEnvironment is a lightweight Python-based testing environment designed to validate and experiment with agent implementations. Created as an active development project, it provides a minimal, secure sandbox for iterating on agent behavior and testing strategies.

Stack

• Language: Python
• Testing Framework: pytest
• Code Quality Tools: pre-commit hooks with gitleaks (secret scanning), end-of-file fixer, trailing-whitespace remover
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions with CodeQL, Dependabot, SBOM scorecard, and dependency review

Project Structure

How It Works

This is a minimal, bootstrapped testing framework. Tests run via pytest, with security gates managed through pre-commit hooks and GitHub Actions. The setup is designed as a sandbox for iterating on agent implementations.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+ installed on your system
• pip (comes with Python)
• Git for cloning the repository

Installation (Optional)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Git-Hub-Chris/AgentEnvironment.git
   cd AgentEnvironment

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running Tests

Execute the test suite using pytest:

pytest test_example.py

For verbose output with detailed test information:

pytest test_example.py -v

For running tests with coverage:

pytest test_example.py --cov

Setting Up Pre-commit Hooks

Pre-commit hooks automatically run security checks and code formatting on each commit:

1. Install pre-commit:

   pip install pre-commit

2. Install the git hook scripts:

   pre-commit install

3. Run hooks manually (optional):

   pre-commit run --all-files

Hooks will now automatically run on git commit. This includes:

• gitleaks: Secret detection
• trailing-whitespace: Whitespace cleanup
• end-of-file-fixer: File formatting

Next Steps

• Review test_example.py to understand the test structure
• Modify or add your own tests for agent implementations
• Push to GitHub to trigger CI/CD workflows
