A system, method and program product for processing software development kits (SDKs). A system is provided that includes a container creation system that wraps an inputted SDK in a penalty container to create a wrapped SDK, wherein the wrapped SDK includes re-instrumented code that redirects application programming interface (API) calls between the SDK and an associated App and operating system through a wrapper in order to monitor runtime behavior; wherein the container creation system instantiates a policy module that is configurable by an SDK provider and App developer to implement a mutual policy configuration for the penalty container; and wherein the penalty container includes a penalty manager that assesses penalties to the SDK provider based on SDK violations of the mutual policy configuration.
