The premise
Guardrails platforms catch issues prompts miss, but add latency and false positives — tune for your risk profile.
What AI does well here
- Block prompt-injection patterns before model call.
- Filter PII from outputs.
- Apply policy rules consistently across model versions.
What AI cannot do
- Catch novel attacks not in their detector library.
- Eliminate false positives at acceptable recall.
