Classifier
Bases: RunnableSerializable[DecisionRequest, DecisionResponse]
Typed decision model with LCEL, tools, batching and native asynchronous I/O.
Credentials/options resolve explicit values, then FINIC_* environment defaults. Use a context manager to reuse owned connection pools. Outside a context, owned pools live for one invocation (including configurable-field clones). An injected FinicClient remains caller-owned. Streaming yields one complete decision, not token deltas.

Inherited Runnable methods such as batch, abatch, bind, and with_config
follow the LangChain Runnable interface.
See the usage guide for resource lifetime and invocation behavior.
HTTP client and errors
Synchronous/asynchronous Finic transport with bounded retries and owned-client cleanup.
Configure credentials explicitly or through FINIC_API_KEY. Injected HTTP clients remain caller-owned. Use context managers for deterministic resource cleanup.

Choose once per invocation, then use that chat model throughout its tool loop.
Classifies the latest human message. On classifier errors or low probability, use the explicitly configured fallback; otherwise stop the run. Selection is stored in graph state, never on this shared middleware instance.

AutoModeMiddleware

Classifier errors fail closed. Unlisted tools are passed through without assessment. This is probabilistic screening, not an authorization system or approval workflow.
