LlamaFirewall compatibility with FastAPI

[mayankemind]

1. Compatibility with langchain and other related frameworks:
   • Package version issue.
2. Compatibility with FastAPI:
   • I attempted to create a separate FastAPI server to utilize the llama firewall and expose it to my original Langchain project. But here it is having issues with FastAPI too. We found the package (rich and rich-toolkit) version Issue and async issue. As FastAPI is based on ASGI(Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface), but the llamafirewall.scan() is itself an asyncio.run. Now even though, I ignored the package version issue, I can't keep an async function directly.

aftere adding async
@app.post("/prompt_guard")
async def run_llamafirewall_scan(user_text:str):

# Initialize LlamaFirewall with Prompt Guard scanner
llamafirewall = LlamaFirewall(
    scanners={
        Role.USER: [ScannerType.PROMPT_GUARD],
    }
)
# Create a UserMessage from the input
user_input = UserMessage(
    content=user_text,
)

# Scan the user input
scan_result = await llamafirewall.scan(user_input)
print("User input scan result:")
print(scan_result)
return scan_result

if name == "main":
uvicorn.run("main:app", host="127.0.0.1", port=8000, reload=True )

it gives this

However I solved this using anyio :

@app.post("/prompt_guard")
async def run_llamafirewall_scan(user_text: str):
def sync_scan():
llamafirewall = LlamaFirewall(
scanners={Role.USER: [ScannerType.PROMPT_GUARD]}
)
user_input = UserMessage(content=user_text)
return llamafirewall.scan(user_input) # This internally uses asyncio.run()

scan_result = await anyio.to_thread.run_sync(sync_scan)
return scan_result

if name == "main":
uvicorn.run("main:app", host="127.0.0.1", port=8000, reload=True )
