Stop Writing Your Own Validators

Every AI dev eventually hits this wall:

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting ',' delimiter

So you write a validator. Then another. Then you realize half your project is glue code just to catch malformed outputs.

1. The Validator Tax

Here's what "rolling your own" usually looks like:

• A dozen try/except json.loads() blocks
• Manual type checks (if not isinstance(data["age"], int))
• Retry loops with time.sleep
• Ad-hoc logging sprinkled everywhere

Now multiply that across every agent, every project. That's the validator tax.

2. What If It Were One Line?

Instead of reinventing validation every time, what if you could just do this:

from agent_validator import validate, Schema

schema = Schema({"name": str, "age": int})
result = validate(agent_output, schema, retries=2)

That's it.

3. Features That Replace Your Boilerplate

Agent Validator handles the ugly stuff for you:

• 🔍 Schema Validation → define with plain Python dicts
• 🔄 Automatic Retries → exponential backoff & timeouts
• 🔧 Type Coercion → "42" → 42, "true" → True
• 📝 Logging → JSONL logs with automatic redaction
• ☁️ Dashboard → optional cloud monitoring for teams

4. CLI Included

Not just a library — it ships with a CLI:

# Validate inputs
agent-validator test schema.json input.json --mode COERCE

# View recent logs
agent-validator logs -n 20

5. For Indie Devs & Small Teams

• Free tier → SDK + local logs
• $9/mo Starter → indie devs get cloud logging & dashboard
• $29/mo Pro → small teams with alerts & templates
• $99/mo Team → larger projects with RBAC & analytics

6. TL;DR

Stop burning hours on custom validators.
Drop in one SDK, validate everything, move on.
