QueryAssure

Quality gates for SQL and enterprise Agents.

Catch hallucinated columns, unsafe SQL and tool calls, permission drift, missing approvals, semantic regressions, and policy violations before they reach production.

Try the zero-key playground · Run the 30-second demo · Read the enterprise security reference

QueryAssure is an open-source Agent playground plus a contract-testing, security, and CI quality-gate toolkit. The flagship SQL Agent catches data and query failures; the Microsoft 365 reference agent demonstrates delegated OAuth scopes, Outlook and Teams integrations, human approvals, and audit-ready workflow evidence.

If QueryAssure helps you catch a SQL Agent regression, consider starring the repository and sharing the failing trace. That signal helps prioritize the next adapters and validators.

v0.6.0: adds deny-by-default enterprise policy-as-code, multi-tenant isolation, RBAC/resource authorization, classification clearance, approval and break-glass obligations, plus tamper-evident redacted audit bundles.

30-second proof

No clone, Docker Engine, API key, or database setup is required:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/Victoria824/QueryAssure queryassure demo

QueryAssure generates deterministic retail data, runs five golden contracts, injects a plausible customers.lifetime_value hallucination, blocks it at the schema gate, and opens a self-contained HTML report you can share with your team.

5 golden paths passed
1 schema hallucination caught
Verdict: BLOCKED FROM MERGE

Prove the enterprise-agent controls without a Microsoft tenant or API key:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/Victoria824/QueryAssure queryassure m365-demo

This runs four Outlook/Teams contracts covering mail triage, draft creation, blocked unapproved sends, approved Teams notifications, OAuth scope minimization, and audit completeness.

Exercise the enterprise governance layer without an identity provider or KMS:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/Victoria824/QueryAssure queryassure enterprise-demo

This runs six policy decisions covering same-tenant access, cross-tenant denial, classification clearance, approval-gated side effects, and audited break-glass access. It produces a redacted, tamper-evident evidence bundle and a shareable HTML report.

Why this project exists

Text-to-SQL demos are easy. Reliable SQL Agents are not.

A production SQL Agent must survive prompt changes, model upgrades, schema drift, ambiguous metrics, sensitive columns, invalid joins, runaway queries, and unexpected tool traces. QueryAssure treats those behaviours as testable software contracts.

Question → metadata retrieval → SQL generation → policy validation
         → read-only execution → result → trace
                                  ↓
                  QueryAssure contract tests + CI gate

Quickstart

One command

git clone https://github.com/Victoria824/QueryAssure.git
cd QueryAssure
docker compose up --build

Open http://localhost:3000 for the chat experience and http://localhost:8000/docs for the reference Agent API. The web container talks to the API container, so the trace, SQL validation, and DuckDB execution are real rather than mocked.

The API health endpoint is http://localhost:8000/api/health. The full stack is smoke-tested with Docker Engine in GitHub Actions and is compatible with Docker Desktop and Colima on macOS.

Python development

Requires Python 3.10+.

Install the verified wheel from the latest GitHub Release:

pip install https://github.com/Victoria824/QueryAssure/releases/download/v0.6.0/queryassure-0.6.0-py3-none-any.whl
queryassure --version

Or install an editable checkout for development:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e '.[dev]'

# Generate deterministic retail data
queryassure seed
queryassure validate-data

# Run the included agent against the golden suite
queryassure test --suite evals/retail.yml

# Open the self-contained evidence report
open reports/latest.html

# Start the reference agent API
queryassure serve

The API is available at http://127.0.0.1:8000, with interactive documentation at /docs.

Run the web experience separately:

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

The hosted playground is a zero-key interactive walkthrough. For real query execution, run queryassure serve; the same questions, metadata retrieval, SQL gates, and result traces are available through POST /api/chat.

Put the quality gate in every pull request

QueryAssure is also a composite GitHub Action. It can evaluate the bundled reference agent or any HTTP endpoint that returns an AgentTrace-shaped response.

name: SQL Agent quality gate
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  data-agent-contracts:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: Victoria824/QueryAssure@v0.6.0
        with:
          suite: evals/retail.yml

The action writes a human-readable job summary, fails unsafe regressions, and uploads both the machine-readable JSON result and a self-contained HTML evidence report. Omit agent-url to run the included reference agent and fixture as a zero-configuration smoke test.

To scaffold the starter contracts and workflow into an existing repository:

queryassure init .

A test case is a contract

- id: revenue_by_region
  question: Which region generated the most net revenue in 2026?
  expect:
    required_tables: [analytics_orders]
    forbidden_columns: [customers.email, customers.phone]
    gold_sql: |
      select region, round(sum(net_revenue), 2) as net_revenue
      from analytics_orders
      where ordered_at >= date '2026-01-01'
      group by region
      order by net_revenue desc
  budgets:
    max_latency_ms: 5000
    max_tool_calls: 5

QueryAssure compares result sets instead of requiring exact SQL text, because two valid queries can express the same answer.

Ground agents with PostgreSQL and dbt

DuckDB remains the zero-configuration evaluation runtime. Production metadata can now be imported from PostgreSQL or dbt without sending schemas to an external service.

# dbt models, sources, descriptions, tags, lineage, and metrics
queryassure catalog import-dbt \
  --manifest target/manifest.json \
  --output metadata/dbt-catalog.yml

# PostgreSQL tables, columns, comments, and foreign keys
pip install -e '.[postgres]'
export DATABASE_URL='postgresql://...'
queryassure catalog import-postgres \
  --schema public \
  --schema analytics \
  --output metadata/postgres-catalog.yml

Credentials are used only for live introspection and are never written to the generated catalog. Schema-qualified tables are supported by the SQL validator.

Build a reproducible benchmark

Rank agents from their versioned JSON reports. Correctness and safety are deliberately ranked ahead of latency.

queryassure benchmark \
  --report reference=reports/reference.json \
  --report candidate=reports/candidate.json \
  --output benchmarks/leaderboard.json \
  --markdown benchmarks/leaderboard.md

The leaderboard reports pass rate, schema hallucinations, policy violations, p50/p95 latency, tool calls, and estimated model cost. See the checked-in Northstar benchmark for the current reproducible snapshot.

Reference dataset: Northstar Retail

The included dataset is deterministic and synthetic. It models an omnichannel Canadian grocery business across:

• customers and behavioural segments
• stores and operating regions
• products, categories, prices, and costs
• orders, line items, promotions, and refunds
• weekly inventory snapshots
• product reviews with realistic missingness
• curated analytics views and business metrics

It intentionally includes seasonality, promotion lift, refund patterns, stock-out scenarios, cancelled orders, sparse fields, PII-classified columns, and tenant boundaries. This provides both clean golden paths and meaningful failure cases without distributing personal or proprietary data.

Additional data adapters on the roadmap

Source	Purpose	Distribution approach
dbt Jaffle Shop	dbt manifest and lineage tests	setup script / attribution
DuckDB TPC-H	scalable execution and cost tests	generated locally with dbgen
Chinook	cross-dialect compatibility	optional download adapter
Open Food Facts	messy real-world product metadata	optional adapter; ODbL attribution
Spider 2.0 / BIRD	external benchmark compatibility	user-provided benchmark download

Large third-party datasets are not vendored into this repository. Discover the supported matrix or generate a local TPC-H database with:

queryassure dataset list
queryassure dataset install tpch --output data/tpch.duckdb --scale 0.1

Northstar Retail is the default because it is deterministic, redistributable, fast enough for CI, and intentionally contains signals that ordinary random-data generators miss. Run queryassure validate-data to check referential integrity, price/refund bounds, synthetic-only PII, time/category coverage, a designed stock-out pattern, and a reproducibility fingerprint.

The core package has no LangChain or LangGraph dependency. Agent frameworks connect through adapters rather than becoming mandatory runtime dependencies.

To evaluate an existing HTTP agent that accepts { "question": "..." } and returns an AgentTrace-shaped object:

queryassure test-http \
  --url http://localhost:8000/api/chat \
  --database data/retail.duckdb \
  --suite evals/retail.yml

Optional live model

Demo mode is intentionally deterministic and free. To exercise a live OpenAI model:

pip install -e '.[openai]'
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key-in-your-shell
export QUERYASSURE_LIVE_ENABLED=true
export QUERYASSURE_API_TOKEN="$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
queryassure serve

Call the protected endpoint with Authorization: Bearer $QUERYASSURE_API_TOKEN. Live API access is fail-closed: both QUERYASSURE_LIVE_ENABLED=true and an API token are required. Never commit model keys or API tokens. .env files are ignored.

Safety model

• exactly one parsed query is accepted; writes and non-query statements are rejected
• DuckDB runs read-only with external file/network access and extension loading disabled
• execution has row, time, memory, temporary-storage, and thread limits
• restricted columns are resolved through aliases and SELECT * before execution
• JSON/HTML evidence reports remove result rows and redact common credential fields
• live model API access is disabled by default and supports bearer-token protection
• live Microsoft Graph access is disabled by default and uses delegated scopes
• Outlook sends and Teams posts can be contractually blocked until human approval
• workflow traces exclude access tokens and retain approval-ticket evidence
• local containers run as non-root, drop Linux capabilities, and bind to loopback only
• CI runs tests, static analysis, dependency audits, and immutable action revisions
• no production data or model key is required for the included demo

This is a defense-in-depth evaluation toolkit, not a complete authorization or multi-tenant isolation system. Run untrusted SQL in a separately isolated worker or container, expose the reference API only behind authentication and rate limiting, and enforce least-privilege permissions in the warehouse itself.

Security-sensitive reports should follow SECURITY.md instead of using a public issue.
