feat: add OrcaRouter as a first-class AI provider - #2430
Conversation
Adds native support for the OrcaRouter OpenAI-compatible gateway. Models using the orcarouter/ prefix are rewritten to openai/ and routed to https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1 through LiteLLM's OpenAI-compatible path, mirroring how Robusta-hosted models are handled. Includes docs and tests. Signed-off-by: zsanig22-dotcom <zsanig22-dotcom@users.noreply.github.com>

WalkthroughChangesOrcaRouter provider integration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds OrcaRouter routing, but the documented API-key-only setup cannot authenticate through the rewritten provider path. It also presents default-deny prompt and tool protections without requiring or verifying the necessary gateway policy, and permits custom endpoints to receive the provider credential. These correctness and security risks make the PR unsafe to merge until addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

mkdocs-material 9.5.39 material-orca icon Material Design Icons
💡 Result:
In Material for MkDocs (including version 9.5.39), "material-orca" is not a standard, built-in icon provided by the theme's bundled Material Design Icons set [1][2][3]. The theme's "material" icon namespace maps to the @mdi/svg library [1]. If you are trying to use an "orca" icon, you have two options: 1. Check for alternative naming: Ensure you are using the correct shortcode. You can search the available icons via the official Material for MkDocs icon search to see if a similar or correctly named icon exists under the material/ namespace [1][2]. 2. Add a custom icon: If no such icon is included, you can add an custom SVG of an orca to your project [2][3]: - Create a folder named .icons inside your project's custom directory (e.g., overrides/.icons/) [4][3]. - Place your orca.svg file within this directory (e.g., overrides/.icons/custom/orca.svg) [5][3]. - Update your mkdocs.yml to register the custom icon directory [3][6]: yaml markdown_extensions: - pymdownx.emoji: emoji_index: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.twemoji emoji_generator: !!python/name:material.extensions.emoji.to_svg options: custom_icons: - overrides/.icons Once configured, you can reference the custom icon in your Markdown files using the :custom-orca: syntax (replacing / with - in the path) [3][6]. If you are using it in your configuration (e.g., for the site logo), you would use custom/orca [3][6].

| OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible AI gateway for models and agents. Like OpenRouter, it exposes a provider/model namespace across many models — but it also combines adaptive routing, automatic failover, zero-markup inference, observability, guardrails, and agent-tool governance behind the same endpoint. It also runs gateway-level, zero-trust security for AI agents on the same endpoint — screening every prompt/response and governing every tool call on a default-deny basis, with no application code changes. |

site:docs.orcarouter.ai/security/concepts/securing-ai-agents OrcaRouter policy resolution default deny audit
💡 Result:
OrcaRouter operates on a zero-trust model where security policies are enforced via a default-deny architecture for critical actions [1]. Key aspects of its policy resolution and auditing include: - Default-Deny Architecture: OrcaRouter enforces a default-deny posture on actions that carry risk, requiring explicit allow-lists for intended behaviors [1]. This ensures that requests are not implicitly trusted based on their origin [1]. - Policy Resolution via Autonomy Levels: Users can manage their security posture by selecting an autonomy level, which simplifies the application of Firewall and Guardrail rules [1]. For example, the tight level enforces default-deny, blocks destructive tools, and prevents SSRF egress [1]. - Audit Trail: Every decision—including matches, verdicts, and approvals—is logged and correlated to the specific agent run that initiated the request, creating a comprehensive audit trail [1]. Requests are processed through a structured control stack, starting with identity verification, followed by input screening, model execution, tool-call/egress judgment, output screening, and finally, audit logging [1].

site:docs.orcarouter.ai/security/concepts/securing-ai-agents "no policy" OR "workspace default" OR "audit" firewall verdict
💡 Result:
The phrase no policy workspace default audit firewall verdict appears to be related to the configuration of the OrcaRouter platform, an AI security gateway [1]. In this context, if no specific firewall policy is assigned to a workspace or an API key, the system typically defaults to an audit mode [1]. Specifically, OrcaRouter utilizes an autonomy level system to manage security postures [1]: 1. Tight: Operates on a default-deny basis, blocking destructive tools and SSRF egress while enabling PII and secrets guardrails [1]. 2. Balanced: Operates with audit by default, where actions are monitored and logged rather than blocked, while still denying destructive shell commands and flagging PII [1]. 3. Permissive: Nothing is actively enforced, but all activity is observed and logged so that agent behavior remains visible [1]. When a workspace is set to a level like Balanced or Permissive, the default behavior for the firewall verdict is to audit (log) activity rather than block it, ensuring that every match, verdict, and approval is recorded in the audit trail [1].

LiteLLM completion custom base_url HTTPS validation redirect behavior API key forwarded on cross-host redirects
💡 Result:
LiteLLM’s behavior regarding custom base_url configurations, HTTPS redirects, and header forwarding is characterized by a reliance on environment-specific configurations and specific security mechanisms to prevent credential leakage [1][2]. Custom base_url and Redirect Behavior When deploying LiteLLM behind a reverse proxy (e.g., in Kubernetes or Docker), LiteLLM may incorrectly generate redirect URLs (e.g., for /ui or SSO) pointing to internal container IPs or using HTTP instead of HTTPS [3][4][5]. To mitigate this, you must explicitly set PROXY_BASE_URL in your environment to the public-facing URL (e.g., https://your-domain.com) [6][4][5]. LiteLLM utilizes this variable to generate externally correct URLs for redirects and form actions [7]. If issues persist after setting PROXY_BASE_URL, administrators often work around the behavior by implementing Location header rewrites at the reverse proxy level (e.g., in Nginx or Caddy) to force the correct scheme and host [4]. Recent versions of LiteLLM have also faced challenges with standard ASGI middleware and framework-level changes (e.g., Starlette CVE fixes) affecting how request.base_url is reconstructed; in these cases, the system may rely on the bound socket address if headers are not correctly passed [5]. HTTPS Validation LiteLLM uses httpx for network requests and respects standard SSL verification [2]. By default, it uses the certifi CA bundle [2]. You can override SSL verification for specific services or globally using the ssl_verify setting in config.yaml or via the SSL_VERIFY environment variable [2]. If custom CA bundles are required, the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable is supported [2]. API Key Forwarding on Cross-Host Redirects/Requests LiteLLM enforces strict security rules regarding header forwarding to upstream LLM providers to prevent credential leakage [1]. 1. Default Protection: By default, sensitive headers used to authenticate with the LiteLLM proxy itself (such as Authorization, x-api-key, and other proxy-level credentials) are never forwarded to upstream providers, even if forward_client_headers_to_llm_api is enabled [8][1]. 2. Exceptions: For Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) scenarios, specific provider-native authentication headers (e.g., x-api-key for Anthropic, api-key for Azure) can be forwarded if forward_llm_provider_auth_headers is explicitly set to true [1]. 3. Known Limitations: Users have reported that generic pass_through_endpoints with forward_headers: true may not always correctly strip proxy-level authentication headers, leading to potential leaks in specific configurations [8][9]. Additionally, in some cases, LiteLLM may fail to forward valid BYOK keys from specific deployment configurations due to internal logic errors in credential resolution [10]. It is recommended to always use PROXY_BASE_URL for ingress deployments and to verify that proxy authentication headers are not included in any custom pass-through routing logic [4][8][1].

site:github.com/BerriAI/litellm "follow_redirects" "api_key" httpx
💡 Result:
When using the httpx library in Python, the follow_redirects parameter is used to control whether the client automatically follows HTTP redirects (such as 301, 302, 307, or 308 responses). By default, httpx does not follow redirects [1]. To enable this behavior, you can set follow_redirects=True when initializing an httpx.Client or httpx.AsyncClient [1][2]: import httpx # Enable automatic redirect following client = httpx.Client(follow_redirects=True) response = client.get("https://example.com/redirect-endpoint") If you are encountering issues where an API call fails with a 307 Temporary Redirect, it is often because the client is not configured to handle the redirect automatically [1]. Enabling this setting allows the client to navigate to the new location transparently [1]. Regarding API keys, they are typically passed via request headers (e.g., Authorization: Bearer ) [3][4]. While some high-level libraries like LiteLLM abstract this process [4], when using httpx directly, you should include the header explicitly [3]: import httpx api_key = "your_api_key_here" headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"} # Pass headers during the request response = httpx.get("https://api.example.com/v1/resource", headers=headers) If you are working with systems (like LiteLLM) that use httpx internally, you may occasionally need to provide custom headers using the extra_headers argument if the library supports it, or by injecting a custom configured httpx client if the API architecture allows it [5][6].

LiteLLM 1.89.0 completion OpenAI custom base_url httpx follow_redirects source
💡 Result:
In LiteLLM 1.89.0, managing httpx client configurations such as follow_redirects and custom base_url settings is handled through specific mechanisms depending on whether you are using the LiteLLM library directly or the OpenAI-compatible proxy interface [1][2]. For standard litellm.completion() calls: 1. Global Customization: You can set a global httpx.Client (or AsyncClient for acompletion) by assigning it to litellm.client_session or litellm.aclient_session [2]. This allows you to define parameters like verify=False or custom limits [2]. 2. Internal Handler: LiteLLM uses an internal HTTPHandler that typically defaults follow_redirects=True for its own networking calls to ensure compatibility with API providers that use redirects [3][4][5]. 3. Custom Base URL: You can set the api_base globally via litellm.api_base = "..." or pass it dynamically as an argument to the completion() call [2][6]. For OpenAI-compatible proxy usage: 1. When using the openai Python SDK against a LiteLLM Proxy, you manage the httpx client via the standard OpenAI() client constructor [7][2]. You can pass an http_client argument to the OpenAI client instance with your desired configuration, such as follow_redirects=True [3]: python import httpx from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( api_key="your-key", base_url="http://your-litellm-proxy-url", http_client=httpx.Client(follow_redirects=True) ) If you are encountering issues with redirects, ensure your httpx.Client is explicitly configured with follow_redirects=True, as this is a common requirement for APIs that utilize HTTP 307 redirects for load balancing or endpoint migration [3][8]. Note that while LiteLLM has internal mechanisms for handling custom HTTP sessions, explicitly providing an http_client via the OpenAI SDK is the recommended approach when interacting with the LiteLLM proxy to maintain full control over the underlying transport configuration [2][9].

💡 Result:
Yes, HTTPX automatically strips the Authorization header when following redirects to a different origin (a different host, port, or scheme) [1][2][3]. This is an intentional security feature designed to prevent the accidental leakage of sensitive credentials to third-party domains [2][4][5]. In the HTTPX source code, this behavior is implemented in the _redirect_headers method within the client [3]. When a redirect occurs, the library checks if the new location matches the origin of the initial request [3]. If the origins differ, it explicitly removes the Authorization header using headers.pop("Authorization", None) before proceeding with the redirected request [3]. Key technical details: - Scope: This stripping only applies to cross-origin redirects [2][3]. Redirects that remain within the same origin will continue to preserve the Authorization header [2][4]. - Other Headers: In addition to Authorization, HTTPX also strips the Cookie header during cross-origin redirects to further protect user state [6][3]. - Limitations: HTTPX only recognizes standard headers like Authorization and Cookie as sensitive [6][5]. If your application uses custom authentication headers (such as x-api-key or Authorization-Token), HTTPX will not automatically strip them when redirecting to a different host [6][5]. In such cases, developers must manually manage or clear these headers if cross-origin redirects are expected [6]. If you need to maintain authentication headers across cross-origin redirects, you must handle the redirect manually by setting follow_redirects=False, inspecting the location header, and making a new request explicitly with the required credentials [7].

Require HTTPS for custom API bases.
ORCAROUTER_API_BASE accepts an http:// value, and LiteLLM sends the API key as an Authorization header. Reject non-HTTPS custom bases or document that only HTTPS values are supported. Cross-host redirects strip this header.

Add a blank line after the OrcaRouter heading.
Line 15 starts the list immediately after the heading on Line 14. Add a blank line so MkDocs renders the section consistently.
As per coding guidelines, lists after headers must have a blank line.

LiteLLM 1.89.0 validate_environment openai api_key OPENAI_API_KEY source completion environment variable
💡 Result:
In LiteLLM, validate_environment is a utility function used to verify that the necessary environment variables and credentials are set for a specific model provider before executing a completion call [1][2]. For OpenAI models, the function primarily checks for the presence of the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable [1][3]. Key details regarding validate_environment: - Purpose: It returns a dictionary containing the status of required environment variables [4][1]. Specifically, it reports whether the required keys are present (keys_in_environment: bool) and provides a list of any missing keys (missing_keys: list) [4][5]. - Usage: You can invoke it by passing the model name, for example: from litellm import validate_environment; print(validate_environment("openai/gpt-4o")) [1]. - Behavior: While it is intended to help diagnose configuration issues, developers should be aware that internal implementations have been subject to bug fixes regarding how missing keys are reported for complex providers [4][5]. For standard OpenAI API calls via LiteLLM, the library expects the OPENAI_API_KEY to be set in your environment (e.g., via os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] or an export command) or passed directly as an api_key argument to the completion function [6][1][7]. If you are using OpenAI-compatible endpoints, you may also need to configure the api_base [6][7]. Top results: [4][6][1][2][5]

Resolve ORCAROUTER_API_KEY before validation. DefaultLLM receives api_key=None when only ORCAROUTER_API_KEY is set. The rewritten openai/... path checks OPENAI_API_KEY, and completion() forwards api_key=None, so the documented CLI setup cannot authenticate.

Remove the duplicate navigation entry from mkdocs.yml.
docs/ai-providers/.nav.yml already owns the provider navigation. Keeping the same page in mkdocs.yml creates two navigation sources that can drift.
As per coding guidelines, navigation is controlled by .nav.yml files in each docs/ subdirectory, not by the nav: section in mkdocs.yml.

Summary
HolmesGPT is an open-source AI agent for investigating production incidents and finding root causes — and like many of its users, you already reach for a gateway to get the model that fits each investigation across providers. Today that means configuring OpenRouter (or an anonymous OpenAI-compatible base URL) by hand.
This PR makes OrcaRouter a first-class AI provider, mirroring how HolmesGPT already ships OpenRouter support.
OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible AI gateway built for both models and agents. Like OpenRouter, it exposes a provider/model namespace across many models — but it also combines adaptive routing, automatic failover, zero-markup inference, observability, guardrails, and agent-tool governance behind the same endpoint. Adding
orcarouteras a first-class provider means HolmesGPT users can use that stack directly, without treating OrcaRouter as an anonymous custom base URL.It also runs gateway-level, zero-trust security for AI agents on the same endpoint — screening every prompt/response and governing every tool call on a default-deny basis, with no application code changes.
What changed
holmes/core/llm.py— models using theorcarouter/prefix are now rewritten toopenai/<model>and routed tohttps://api.orcarouter.ai/v1through LiteLLM's OpenAI-compatible path (the same approach Robusta-hosted models use inget_litellm_corrected_name_for_robusta_ai). A baremodel: orcarouter/<model>entry inmodel_list.yamlnow works out of the box — no explicitapi_baserequired. An explicitapi_basestill wins if you self-host or override.tests/core/test_llm_orcarouter.py— new unit tests covering the prefix rewrite, the default base URL, explicit-base override, non-OrcaRouter models being untouched, and cost-map name normalization.docs/ai-providers/orcarouter.md— new provider page mirroring the existing OpenRouter page: nativeorcarouter/prefix method plus the OpenAI-compatible method, for CLI, Holmes Helm chart, and Robusta Helm chart.docs/ai-providers/index.md,docs/ai-providers/.nav.yml,mkdocs.yml— OrcaRouter added to the AI Providers index and navigation.docs/reference/environment-variables.md—ORCAROUTER_API_KEYandORCAROUTER_API_BASEdocumented.How to use it
