# Tensorus: Agentic Tensor Database/Data Lake

Tensorus is a specialized data platform focused on the management and agent-driven manipulation of tensor data. It offers a streamlined environment for storing, retrieving, and operating on tensors, laying the groundwork for advanced AI and machine learning workflows.

The core purpose of Tensorus is to simplify and enhance how developers and AI agents interact with tensor datasets. By providing dedicated tools for tensor operations and a framework for agentic integration, Tensorus aims to accelerate tasks like automated data ingestion, reinforcement learning from stored experiences, and AutoML processes, ultimately enabling more efficient and intelligent data utilization in AI projects.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

*   Python 3.10+
*   PyTorch
*   FastAPI
*   Uvicorn
*   Streamlit
*   Pydantic v2
*   Requests
*   Pillow (for image preprocessing)
*   Matplotlib (optional, for plotting RL rewards)

### Installation

1.  Clone the repository:

    ```bash

    git clone https://github.com/tensorus/tensorus.git

    cd tensorus

    ```


2.  Create a virtual environment (recommended):

    ```bash

    python3 -m venv venv

    source venv/bin/activate  # On Linux/macOS

    venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows

    ```


3.  Install dependencies using the provided setup script:

    ```bash

    ./setup.sh

    ```

    This installs Python requirements from `requirements.txt` and

    `requirements-test.txt`, using CPU wheels for PyTorch and

    pinning `httpx` to a compatible version. The test requirements

    also install `fastapi>=0.110` for compatibility with Pydantic v2.

    The script also installs test requirements for running the Python test suite.

    Heavy machine-learning libraries (e.g. `xgboost`, `lightgbm`, `catboost`,

    `statsmodels`, `torch-geometric`) are not installed by default. Install

    them separately using `pip install tensorus[models]` or by installing the

    `tensorus-models` package if you need the built-in models.

    The audit logger writes to `tensorus_audit.log` by default. Override the

    path with the `TENSORUS_AUDIT_LOG_PATH` environment variable if desired.


### Running the API Server

1.  Navigate to the project root directory (the directory containing the `tensorus` folder and `pyproject.toml`).
2.  Ensure your virtual environment is activated if you are using one.
3.  Start the FastAPI backend server using:

    ```bash

    uvicorn tensorus.api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 7860

    ```


    *   This command launches Uvicorn with the `app` instance defined in `tensorus/api.py`.
    *   Access the API documentation at `http://localhost:7860/docs` or `http://localhost:7860/redoc`.
    *   All dataset and agent endpoints are available once the server is running.

### Running the Streamlit UI

1.  In a separate terminal (with the virtual environment activated), navigate to the project root.
2.  Start the Streamlit frontend:

    ```bash

    streamlit run app.py

    ```


    *   Access the UI in your browser at the URL provided by Streamlit (usually `http://localhost:8501`).

### Running the MCP Server

Tensorus provides a lightweight Python implementation of the Model Context Protocol server using `fastmcp`. It exposes the FastAPI endpoints as tools so you can run an MCP server without Node.js.

**Starting the MCP Server:**

1. Install dependencies (includes `fastmcp`):
   ```bash

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   ```
2. Ensure the FastAPI backend is running.
3. Start the server from the repository root:
   ```bash

   python -m tensorus.mcp_server

   ```
   Add `--transport sse` to use SSE transport.


### Running the Agents (Examples)

You can run the example agents directly from their respective files:

*   **RL Agent:**

    ```bash

    python tensorus/rl_agent.py

    ```


*   **AutoML Agent:**

    ```bash

    python tensorus/automl_agent.py

    ```


*   **Ingestion Agent:**

    ```bash

    python tensorus/ingestion_agent.py

    ```


    *   Note: The Ingestion Agent will monitor the `temp_ingestion_source` directory (created automatically if it doesn't exist in the project root) for new files.

### Docker Usage

Tensorus can also be run inside a Docker container. Build the image from the project root:

```bash

docker build -t tensorus .

```

Run the container and expose the API server on port `7860`:

```bash

docker run -p 7860:7860 tensorus

```

The FastAPI documentation will then be available at `http://localhost:7860/docs`.

If your system has NVIDIA GPUs and the [NVIDIA Container Toolkit](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker) installed, you can pass `--gpus all` to `docker run` and modify `setup.sh` to install CUDA-enabled PyTorch wheels for GPU acceleration.

### Test Suite Dependencies

The Python tests rely on packages from both `requirements.txt` and
`requirements-test.txt`. Make sure these dependencies are installed
before running `pytest` by executing the provided setup script:

```bash

./setup.sh

```

### Running Tests

Tensorus includes Python unit tests. To set up the environment and run them:

1. Install all dependencies using:

    ```bash

    ./setup.sh

    ```


    This script installs packages from `requirements.txt` and `requirements-test.txt` (which pins `fastapi>=0.110` for Pydantic v2 support).


2. Run the Python test suite:

    ```bash

    pytest

    ```


    To specifically verify the Model Context Protocol components, run the MCP

    server and client tests:


    ```bash

    pytest tests/test_mcp_server.py tests/test_mcp_client.py

    ```



## Using Tensorus

### API Endpoints

The API provides the following main endpoints:

*   **Datasets:**
    *   `POST /datasets/create`: Create a new dataset.
    *   `POST /datasets/{name}/ingest`: Ingest a tensor into a dataset.
    *   `GET /datasets/{name}/fetch`: Retrieve all records from a dataset.
    *   `GET /datasets/{name}/records`: Retrieve a page of records. Supports `offset` (start index, default `0`) and `limit` (max results, default `100`).
    *   `GET /datasets`: List all available datasets.
*   **Querying:**
    *   `POST /query`: Execute an NQL query.
*   **Agents:**
    *   `GET /agents`: List all registered agents.
    *   `GET /agents/{agent_id}/status`: Get the status of a specific agent.
    *   `POST /agents/{agent_id}/start`: Start an agent.
    *   `POST /agents/{agent_id}/stop`: Stop an agent.
    *   `GET /agents/{agent_id}/logs`: Get recent logs for an agent.
*   **Metrics & Monitoring:**
    *   `GET /metrics/dashboard`: Get aggregated dashboard metrics.

### Dataset Schemas

Datasets can optionally include a schema when created. The schema defines
required metadata fields and expected tensor `shape` and `dtype`. Inserts that
violate the schema will raise a validation error.

Example:

```python

schema = {

    "shape": [3, 10],

    "dtype": "float32",

    "metadata": {"source": "str", "value": "int"}

}

storage.create_dataset("my_ds", schema=schema)

storage.insert("my_ds", torch.rand(3, 10), {"source": "sensor", "value": 5})

```

## Metadata System

Tensorus includes a detailed metadata subsystem for describing tensors beyond their raw data. Each tensor has a `TensorDescriptor` and can be associated with optional semantic, lineage, computational, quality, relational, and usage metadata. The metadata storage backend is pluggable, supporting in-memory storage for quick testing or PostgreSQL for persistence. Search and aggregation utilities allow querying across these metadata fields. See [metadata_schemas.md](docs/metadata_schemas.md) for schema details.

### Streamlit UI


The Streamlit UI provides a user-friendly interface for:

*   **Dashboard:** View basic system metrics and agent status.
*   **Agent Control:** Start, stop, and view logs for agents.
*   **NQL Chat:** Enter natural language queries and view results.
*   **Data Explorer:** Browse datasets, preview data, and perform tensor operations.

## Natural Query Language (NQL)

Tensorus ships with a simple regex‑based Natural Query Language for retrieving
tensors by metadata. You can issue NQL queries via the API or from the "NQL
Chat" page in the Streamlit UI.

### Enabling LLM rewriting

Set `NQL_USE_LLM=true` before starting the API server or Streamlit UI to enable
experimental LLM rewriting of natural language queries. Optionally specify a
model with `NQL_LLM_MODEL=<model-name>` (e.g., `google/flan-t5-base`). This
feature relies on the heavy `transformers` dependency and may trigger a model
download the first time it runs, which can take some time.

## Agent Details

### Tensorus Models

The collection of example models previously bundled with Tensorus now lives in
a separate repository: [tensorus/models](https://github.com/tensorus/models).
Install it with:

```bash

pip install tensorus-models

```

When the package is installed, Tensorus will automatically import it. Set the
environment variable `TENSORUS_MINIMAL_IMPORT=1` before importing Tensorus to
skip this optional dependency and keep startup lightweight.

## MCP Server Details

The Tensorus Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server allows external AI agents, LLM-based applications, and other MCP-compatible clients to interact with Tensorus functionalities in a standardized way. It acts as a bridge, translating MCP requests into calls to the Tensorus Python API.

### Overview

*   **Protocol:** Implements the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction).
*   **Language:** Python, using the `fastmcp` library.
*   **Communication:** Typically uses stdio for communication with a single client.
*   **Interface:** Exposes Tensorus capabilities as a set of "tools" that an MCP client can list and call.

### Available Tools

The MCP server provides tools for various Tensorus functionalities. Below is an overview. For detailed input schemas and descriptions, an MCP client can call the standard `tools/list` method on the server, or you can inspect the tool definitions in `tensorus/mcp_server.py`.

*   **Dataset Management:**
    *   `tensorus_list_datasets`: Lists all available datasets.
    *   `tensorus_create_dataset`: Creates a new dataset.
    *   `tensorus_delete_dataset`: Deletes an existing dataset.
*   **Tensor Management:**
    *   `tensorus_ingest_tensor`: Ingests a new tensor (with data provided as JSON) into a dataset.
    *   `tensorus_get_tensor_details`: Retrieves the data and metadata for a specific tensor.
    *   `tensorus_delete_tensor`: Deletes a specific tensor from a dataset.
    *   `tensorus_update_tensor_metadata`: Updates the metadata of a specific tensor.
*   **Tensor Operations:** These tools allow applying operations from the `TensorOps` library to tensors stored in Tensorus.
    *   `tensorus_apply_unary_operation`: Applies operations like `log`, `reshape`, `transpose`, `permute`, `sum`, `mean`, `min`, `max`.
    *   `tensorus_apply_binary_operation`: Applies operations like `add`, `subtract`, `multiply`, `divide`, `power`, `matmul`, `dot`.
    *   `tensorus_apply_list_operation`: Applies operations like `concatenate` and `stack` that take a list of input tensors.
    *   `tensorus_apply_einsum`: Applies Einstein summation.

*Note on Tensor Operations via MCP:* Input tensors are referenced by their `dataset_name` and `record_id`. The result is typically stored as a new tensor, and the MCP tool returns details of this new result tensor (like its `record_id`).

### Example Client Interaction (Conceptual)

```javascript

// Conceptual MCP client-side JavaScript

// Assuming 'client' is an initialized MCP client connected to the Tensorus MCP Server



async function example() {

  // List available tools

  const { tools } = await client.request({ method: 'tools/list' }, {});

  console.log("Available Tensorus Tools:", tools.map(t => t.name)); // Log only names for brevity



  // Create a new dataset

  const createResponse = await client.request({ method: 'tools/call' }, {

    name: 'tensorus_create_dataset',

    arguments: { dataset_name: 'my_mcp_dataset' }

  });

  console.log(JSON.parse(createResponse.content[0].text).message);



  // Ingest a tensor

  const ingestResponse = await client.request({ method: 'tools/call' }, {

    name: 'tensorus_ingest_tensor',

    arguments: {

      dataset_name: 'my_mcp_dataset',

      tensor_shape: [2, 2],

      tensor_dtype: 'float32',

      tensor_data: [[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]],

      metadata: { source: 'mcp_client_example' }

    }

  });

  // Assuming the Python API returns { success, message, data: { record_id, ... } }

  // And MCP server stringifies this whole object in the text content

  const ingestData = JSON.parse(ingestResponse.content[0].text);

  console.log("Ingest success:", ingestData.success, "Record ID:", ingestData.data.record_id);

}

```

You can also interact with the server using the included Python helper:

```python

from tensorus.mcp_client import TensorusMCPClient

## Completed Features

*   **Tensor Storage:** Efficiently stores and retrieves PyTorch tensors with associated metadata, including in-memory and optional file-based persistence. Supports dataset creation, tensor ingestion, querying, sampling, and metadata updates.
*   **Natural Query Language (NQL):** Provides a basic regex-based natural language interface for querying tensor data, supporting retrieval and simple filtering.
*   **Agent Framework:** Includes several operational agents:
    *   **Data Ingestion Agent:** Monitors local directories for CSV and image files, preprocesses them, and ingests them into TensorStorage.
    *   **RL Agent:** Implements a DQN agent that learns from experiences (stored in TensorStorage) in a dummy environment.
    *   **AutoML Agent:** Performs random search hyperparameter optimization for a dummy MLP model, storing trial results in TensorStorage.
*   **API-Driven:** A comprehensive FastAPI backend offers RESTful endpoints for dataset management, NQL querying, tensor operations, and agent control (live for Ingestion Agent, simulated for RL/AutoML).
*   **Streamlit UI:** A multi-page user interface for dashboard overview, agent control, NQL interaction, data exploration, and API interaction.
*   **Tensor Operations:** A library of robust tensor operations (arithmetic, matrix ops, reductions, reshaping, etc.) accessible via the API.
*   **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server:** A Python server built with `fastmcp` exposes Tensorus capabilities (storage and operations) via the Model Context Protocol.
*   **Extensible Design:** The project is structured with modular components, facilitating future extensions.

## Future Implementation

*   **Enhanced NQL:** Integrate a local or remote LLM for more robust natural language understanding.
*   **Advanced Agents:** Develop more sophisticated agents for specific tasks (e.g., anomaly detection, forecasting).
*   **Persistent Storage Backend:** Replace/augment current file-based persistence with more robust database or cloud storage solutions (e.g., PostgreSQL, S3, MinIO).
*   **Scalability & Performance:**
    *   Implement tensor chunking for very large tensors.
    *   Optimize query performance with indexing.
    *   Asynchronous operations for agents and API calls.
*   **Security:** Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms for the API and UI.
*   **Real-World Integration:**
    *   Connect Ingestion Agent to more data sources (e.g., cloud storage, databases, APIs).
    *   Integrate RL Agent with real-world environments or more complex simulations.
*   **Advanced AutoML:**
    *   Implement sophisticated search algorithms (e.g., Bayesian Optimization, Hyperband).
    *   Support for diverse model architectures and custom models.
*   **Model Management:** Add capabilities for saving, loading, versioning, and deploying trained models (from RL/AutoML).
*   **Streaming Data Support:** Enhance Ingestion Agent to handle real-time streaming data.
*   **Resource Management:** Add tools and controls for monitoring and managing the resource consumption (CPU, memory) of agents.
*   **Improved UI/UX:** Continuously refine the Streamlit UI for better usability and richer visualizations.
*   **Comprehensive Testing:** Expand unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
