egisai.shutdown() -> None
Stop background workers (live updates and audit delivery), close the underlying HTTP client, and flush any pending events. Idempotent.

​
When to use it

You usually don’t have to call shutdown() explicitly — egisai.init() registers it with atexit so it runs at process exit. Call it manually if:
  • Your process orchestrator terminates without firing atexit handlers (some containers do this on SIGKILL-like signals).
  • You want to deactivate the SDK in the middle of a long-running process — for example in a unit test, or before reinitializing with new credentials.

​
Parameters

None.

​
Returns

None.

​
Behavior

  • Stops the policy refresher worker if running.
  • Stops the audit logger worker if running, draining its queue first.
  • Closes the HTTP client used to talk to the control plane.
  • Releases any cached judge-side resources.
  • Safe to call multiple times — each subsequent call is a no-op.
shutdown() does not undo the import-time patches applied to provider SDKs. To resume governance after a shutdown(), call egisai.init() again.

​
Example

import egisai

egisai.init(api_key="…", app="my-bot")
try:
    run_application()
finally:
    egisai.shutdown()

​
What’s next

init

Activate the SDK.
