agent-guardrails skillB

agent-guardrails is agent-read markdown (skill) from akillness/jeo-skills: Layered agent safety — prompt-injection defense, data exfiltration prevention, tool-misuse blocking via NeMo Guardrails + Lakera / LLM Guard / Llama Guard. Use before any agent reads untrusted input or executes tools with real-world side effects..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent Guardrails

## Overview

A single LLM call cannot be trusted to police itself. Production agents need **layered** defenses: input filters, output filters, tool allow-lists, and behavioral policies. This skill picks the libraries and wires them in at the right points.

## When to use

- Agent reads untrusted input (web pages, emails, user uploads)
- Agent has tools that touch real systems (DB, API, money, send messages)
- Compliance requires PII redaction or content policy enforcement
- You've seen prompt injection or data exfiltration attempts in logs
- LLM-as-judge alone has been bypassed in red-team tests

## Threat model (2026)

| Threat | Example | Defense layer |
|--------|---------|---------------|
| Direct prompt injection | "Ignore previous instructions" | Input filter |
| Indirect injection | Malicious instruction in a fetched web page | Provenance + scoped tools |
| Data exfiltration | Agent emails secrets to attacker | Output filter + tool allow-list |
| Tool misuse | Agent calls `delete_db` on bad reasoning | Policy gate + HITL |
| Jailbreak | Roleplay bypass | Llama Guard / NeMo Colang |
