LLM input, output, and tool-call guardrails

Screen a message before it reaches an LLM and screen the resulting text before it reaches a user or tool.

POLICY

def guard_decision(response) -> str:
    jailbreak = response.answers["is_jailbreak"].noul
    sensitive = response.answers["has_sensitive_data"].noul
    violation = response.answers["is_policy_violation"].noul
    harm = response.answers["harm_if_complied"].score

    if jailbreak >= 0.85 or violation >= 0.85 or harm >= 1.8:
        return "block_or_safe_refusal"
    if sensitive >= 0.60 or min(jailbreak, violation) >= 0.40:
        return "redact_and_review"
    return "pass"

Run the guard on the input and on the generated output. Keep the policy outside the prompt so it is reviewable and version-controlled. A guardrail is a signal, not proof of safety; retain a human escalation path for ambiguous or high-impact cases.
