It works by defining named hook points in your application (e.g., before/after tool invocation, prompt fetching, agent execution), then registering plugins that attach to those hooks and run automatically when triggered. Plugins can allow, block, or modify payloads; they execute in ordered phases (sequential, transform, audit, concurrent, fire-and-forget) to support different enforcement and observability patterns.\n\nThe framework comes with built-in hooks for common AI operations (tool_pre_invoke, tool_post_invoke, prompt_pre_fetch, etc.) and lets you define custom hooks with your own payload types. It handles plugin registration, ordering, timeouts, and error isolation automatically. With 14 runtime dependencies including fastapi, pydantic, prometheus-client, and rich, it's designed for production agent systems that need structured policy pipelines and observability.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building AI agents or toolchains that need policy enforcement, security, or governance without tight coupling to application logic. The framework is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive license. However, it is early-stage (0.1.3, released 2026-03-05) with 12 GitHub stars\u2014evaluate stability and API maturity for your use case before committing to production."},"id":"cpex","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cpex","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/cpex.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/cpex/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-06","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"cpex","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"CPEX - ContextForge Plugin Extensibility Framework"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":76505,"position":14621,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.3"}
