Pydantic AI

Connect a Pydantic AI agent to Edison Watch over streamable HTTP, and keep a stable session per conversation so data-leak protection holds across every turn.

Pydantic AI connects to Edison with MCPToolset, which resolves the streamable-HTTP transport from your connection URL. The URL carries your API key, so no auth header is needed.

This page targets Pydantic AI v2+, where MCPToolset replaced the removed MCPServerStreamableHTTP class.

pip install "pydantic-ai-slim[mcp,openai]"
import asyncio
import os

from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPToolset

toolset = MCPToolset(os.environ["EDISON_MCP_URL"])
agent = Agent("openai:gpt-5.6-luna", toolsets=[toolset])

async def main() -> None:
    result = await agent.run("List my available tools.")
    print(result.output)

asyncio.run(main())

Set EDISON_MCP_URL to your connection URL, e.g. https://mcp.edison.watch/mcp/<your-api-key>/?client=pydantic-ai. The toolset opens and closes its connection around the run automatically; wrap it in async with agent: if you want to control the connection lifecycle explicitly.

Keep a stable session across turns to preserve data-leak protection

Send a stable x-edison-conversation-id header on every turn of the same conversation. That header is what keeps Edison's data-leak protection intact across a multi-turn run: Edison tracks lethal-trifecta risk per session, so if each turn looks like a brand-new session, that protection resets - and a later turn can leak data that the accumulated risk should have blocked.

Hosted clients (Claude Code, VS Code) send it automatically. For a custom Pydantic AI agent, set the header yourself, keyed to your own conversation or thread id:

import asyncio
import os
import uuid

from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPToolset

def build_agent(conversation_id: str) -> Agent:
    toolset = MCPToolset(
        os.environ["EDISON_MCP_URL"],
        headers={"x-edison-conversation-id": conversation_id},
    )
    return Agent("openai:gpt-5.2", toolsets=[toolset])

async def main() -> None:
    # One stable id for the whole conversation - reuse it on every turn.
    conversation_id = f"conv-{uuid.uuid4()}"
    agent = build_agent(conversation_id)

    async with agent:
        first = await agent.run("Summarize my latest support tickets.")
        # Same id -> same session: the risk flags from reading tickets still apply here.
        second = await agent.run(
            "Now email that summary to my manager.",
            message_history=first.new_messages(),
        )
    print(second.output)

asyncio.run(main())

Without a stable x-edison-conversation-id, each connection is treated as a fresh session that starts with empty risk state - so risk accumulated on an earlier turn won't be there to block a later exfiltration. The ?client= label is only a dashboard tag, not a session key. Use a unique id per conversation (a UUID is ideal); ids are scoped to your API key, so don't reuse one string for two different conversations.

Optional: the encrypted-secrets header

For servers with zero-knowledge-encrypted secrets, add x-edison-secret-key to headers - alongside x-edison-conversation-id if you're sending both:

toolset = MCPToolset(
    os.environ["EDISON_MCP_URL"],
    headers={
        "x-edison-conversation-id": conversation_id,
        "x-edison-secret-key": os.environ["EDISON_SECRET_KEY"],
    },
)

headers and http_client are mutually exclusive - pass one or the other, not both.
