Dry-Run / Observe Mode

Dry-Run / Observe Mode

Send requests through the gateway without enforcing decisions, ideal for testing policies before enabling them in production. Add the X-Xybern-Dry-Run: true header to any gateway request.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="sk-...",
    base_url="https://www.xybern.com/gateway/openai",
    default_headers={
        "X-Xybern-API-Key": "xb_live_...",
        "X-Xybern-Dry-Run": "true",   # observe only — no enforcement
    },
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
)

In dry-run mode the enforcement result is appended to the response as a xybern_dry_run field, you can inspect what decision would have been taken without blocking or escalating the request.
