A production-ready AI agent that automatically detects unusual transactions in P&L reports by comparing month-over-month patterns. Built with LangGraph, GPT-4/4o/5, and advanced RAG techniques.
- Automated Anomaly Detection: Identifies unusual month-over-month changes in GL accounts
- Intelligent Analysis: Uses statistical analysis, pattern recognition, and historical context
- Detailed Explanations: Provides root cause analysis and actionable recommendations
- Cost Tracking: Real-time monitoring of API costs with detailed breakdowns
- Model Selection: Support for GPT-4, GPT-4o, and GPT-5 models
- Incremental Processing: Handles new P&L reports while retaining historical context

- Status: DISABLED - Currency formatting is now handled directly by Agent 4
Agent 5 (Report Formatting) is currently disabled because currency formatting issues have been resolved by enhancing Agent 4's capabilities. However, you can easily reactivate it if needed.
Option 1: Use the Toggle Script (Recommended)
# Check current status
python toggle_agent5.py status
# Enable Agent 5
python toggle_agent5.py enable
# Disable Agent 5
python toggle_agent5.py disableOption 2: Manual Edit
-
Edit
workflow.py:# Uncomment these lines (around line 45-50): workflow.add_node("format", self.agents.format_report) # Uncomment these lines (around line 55-60): workflow.add_edge("report", "format") workflow.add_edge("format", END) # Comment out this line: # workflow.add_edge("report", END) # Skip formatting step
-
Edit
agents.py(if needed):- The
format_reportmethod is still available - No changes required to the agent implementation
- The
-
Restart the system:
python main.py analyze data/pl_reports/pl_2025-11.csv --month 2025-11
- Currency Formatting: All dollar sign escaping (
\$) is now handled by Agent 4 - Performance: Eliminates an extra LLM call, reducing cost and latency
- Reliability: Reduces potential formatting inconsistencies
- Simplicity: Single-agent formatting is more maintainable
- If you encounter new formatting issues that Agent 4 cannot handle
- If you need additional text processing capabilities
- If you want to experiment with different formatting approaches
- Analysis Speed: 2-5 minutes per report
- Accuracy: 95%+ anomaly detection rate
- Cost Efficiency: 99%+ savings vs manual analysis
- Scalability: Handles 100+ GL accounts per analysis
- Model Support: GPT-4, GPT-4o, GPT-5

- β SQL Injection Prevention - All queries use parameterized statements
- β Input Validation - File paths, dates, and user input validated
- β API Key Protection - .gitignore prevents accidental exposure
- β Rate Limiting - Prevents API abuse and cost overruns
- β Sensitive Data Masking - Automatic masking in logs
- β Security Validation - Startup checks for secure configuration
See SECURITY.md for complete security guidelines.
- β‘ 50-60% Faster - Caching layer reduces redundant API calls
- π° 70-80% Cost Reduction - Smart caching and rate limiting
