Alberto Schiabel f67d565743 refactor(python): consolidate path construction from untrusted input (#4144)
This PR:

- centralizes filesystem path construction for API-provided slugs and
filenames in `composio.utils.safe_path`
- rejects traversal, Windows-invalid names, invalid Unicode, and
overlong encoded filenames before creating directories or writing files
- normalizes trusted roots consistently and routes both Python download
paths through the shared helpers
- adds a fail-closed AST guard for new dynamic path construction,
including direct `Path(...)` calls
- isolates provider initialization from the real home directory and
makes the home-write guard report changes without deleting them
- removes the obsolete download filename wrapper

## Verification

- `pytest -q`: 1,248 passed, 47 skipped
- repository-configured Ruff checks and formatting passed for every
changed Python file
- targeted mypy checks passed for the changed helpers and tests

AGENTS.md

Python SDK guidance for AI agents.

Scope

python/ contains the Python SDK, provider packages, tests, nox sessions, release scripts, and Python docs.

Skill Routing

  • Use python-sdk for core SDK code under python/composio/.
  • Use python-providers for python/providers/*.
  • Use python-testing for Ruff, mypy, pytest, nox, and Makefile verification.
  • Use python-release for build, bump, and publishing workflow changes.
  • Use cross-sdk-parity when matching TypeScript SDK behavior.

Setup

Run from python/:

make env
source .venv/bin/activate

Commands

make fmt
make chk
make tst
make snt
make type_inference
make build

Rules

  • Use Ruff for formatting/linting and mypy for type checks.
  • Add pytest coverage for behavior changes.
  • Keep provider-specific changes under the relevant python/providers/<provider>/ package.
  • When bumping composio-client, update python/pyproject.toml, python/setup.py, and root uv.lock together.

Trust boundary

Every field of an API response is untrusted input — including slugs, IDs, and filenames. The SDK's threat model assumes the backend may be compromised or the connection MITM'd, and that a third-party toolkit can return anything.

When untrusted directory components such as slugs or IDs become part of a filesystem path, use composio.utils.safe_path.secure_join(root, *components). For an untrusted filename, use secure_basename_join(base, filename, root=root) so ordinary extensions remain valid while the write stays anchored to the trusted root. Both helpers enforce two rules:

  1. Anchor containment on a constant. Checking a derived path against a directory that untrusted input helped build compares tainted against tainted and always passes. A directory built as root / untrusted_a / untrusted_b and then validated against that same built directory is checked against a reference the input was free to move.
  2. Validate before touching the filesystem. No mkdir or open until the final path is known to be inside the root, so a rejected write leaves no attacker-chosen directories behind.

tests/test_path_join_guardrail.py enforces this: any path join whose right-hand side is not a literal or module constant must be listed there with a reason.
