Input guardrails are the first line of defense. They validate and sanitize inputs before processing to block malicious payloads, oversized requests, and sensitive data leaks.
Why Input Validation?
- •Stop attacks early: Block injection attacks before they reach the LLM
- •Prevent resource waste: Reject oversized inputs that waste API calls
- •Protect privacy: Detect and block PII before it enters the system

Toggle guardrail rules on/off and test inputs to see which ones are blocked. Notice how disabling rules lets malicious inputs through.
