Use this to add safety and security guardrails to an LLM/agent app - blocking prompt injection, PII leakage, jailbreaks, toxic output, off-topic responses, or invalid structured output. Trigger on "add guardrails", "prevent prompt injection", "stop PII leaks", "validate the model's output", "make this safe for production", especially for regulated/finance/enterprise use.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Add guardrails to an LLM app

Guardrails are validation layers on the **input** (before the model) and **output** (before the user/downstream). They're mandatory for regulated and enterprise deployments. Treat them as tested code, and *observe* them (a guardrail that fires silently is useless).

## Two layers, distinct jobs

**Input guardrails** (run before the LLM):
- **Prompt-injection / jailbreak detection** - reject or sanitize inputs trying to override instructions.
- **PII detection** - flag/redact sensitive data before it reaches a third-party model (see the `redact-pii-for-tracing` skill for the tracing side).
- **Topic / policy** - reject off-scope requests.

**Output guardrails** (run before returning):
- **Structured-output validation** - enforce the schema (JSON/enum/type); repair or reject on failure.
- **Toxicity / safety** - block harmful content.
- **Groundedness / hallucination** - check the answer is supported by the retrieved context (for RAG).
- **Sensitive-data egress** - ensure the response isn't leaking secrets/PII.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add contextjet-ai/awesome-llm-observability/add-llm-guardrails@sha256:fc29bb67c9ae848b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.76d5de4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
