Guard

Enforce policies

Run the detector pipeline for one or more policies against a list of messages. Returns whether the content is flagged, whether it should be denied, any redactions/corrections, and a per-detector breakdown.

POST/v1/guard

Body Parameters

messagesMessage[]required

Conversation to evaluate. May be empty only if tools is provided (tools-only inventory scan). Each message is { role, content, tool_calls?, tool_call_id?, name? }.

sessionstring

Stable conversation/agent ID for session-level risk accumulation. Fingerprinted if omitted.

applicationstring

Application slug bound to a policy (e.g. guardion-application-default).

policystring

Explicit policy ID (e.g. guardion-policy-default). Not needed if application is set; falls back to the workspace default if both omitted.

metadataobject

Free-form metadata for the dashboard (e.g. customer_id, internal_id).

toolsToolDefinition[]

Tools/skills/MCP definitions; their descriptions are scored for tool-poisoning, rug-pulls and shadowing before any call.

fail_fastboolean

Stop on the first policy violation. Default false.

breakdown_allboolean

Return every detector breakdown, not just flagged ones. Default false. (OpenAPI alias: all_breakdown.)

breakdown_all_detailsboolean

Include policy_id and detector_id UUIDs in the breakdown. Default false.

logboolean

Store this evaluation in the log/telemetry queue. Default true.

Response

idstring

Evaluation ID.

objectstring

Always "eval".

timenumber

Evaluation latency in ms.

creatednumber

Unix timestamp.

flaggedboolean

true if any detector tripped.

denyboolean

true if the policy action is block (stop the request).

redactedboolean

true if any message content was redacted.

breakdownBreakdown[]

Per-detector results: { policy, detector, detected, threshold, score, top_label, labels, label_scores }. Flagged only, unless breakdown_all.

correctionCorrection

Suggested replacement messages (redacted content or override response): { choices: Message[] }.

redaction_spansRedactionSpan[]

Precise offsets per redaction: { index, start, end, label, token }.

session_risk_scorenumber

Accumulated session risk (0.0–1.0).
