Three layers of policy on every agent message: input rails, runtime checks, output rails. Eleven rail types, configurable per-agent.
Inline. Not advisory. Not after-the-fact.
8 rail types 13 PII entity types 7 content categories Colang 2.0 + NeMo NIMs
Six attack classes regulators, security teams, and red-teamers pressure-test an agent against. Each one of them has a specific rail in this stack designed to catch it. None of them are caught after the fact in a log.
Crafted inputs that try to override system instructions or extract them.
✓ caught by: Input rail · regex + NeMo classifier
Sensitive data flowing into the model or out to the user.
✓ caught by: Input + Output rails · 13 entity types
Agents drawn outside their scope into questions they shouldn't handle.
✓ caught by: Input rail · per-org allowed/blocked topics
Output that drifts from the retrieved context the agent was given.
✓ caught by: Output rail · grounding score
Known patterns engineered to bypass safety. 17,000 known variants.
✓ caught by: Input + Output · NeMo Self-check + Jailbreak NIM
Agent calls a tool it shouldn't, with arguments it shouldn't pass.
✓ caught by: Governance proxy · 6 actions × 5 risk levels
Layer 1 reads the input. Layer 2 wraps the agent and the governance proxy. Layer 3 reads the output. Every layer has a budget; every rail in every layer fires before the next stage starts. Together: under 500 milliseconds end to end on the longest path.
The full pipeline · annotated
Each agent version references a guardrail profile with independent configuration for all eleven rails. Four cover user input, four cover model output, three validate tool arguments before execution. Three templates ship by default: strict (all on), moderate (most on), and minimal (only injection check). Customize per profile.

Request blocked before agent execution
The user receives a policy-denied response. The agent never ran. The blocked input plus rationale is written to your private audit store. A sanitized event also goes to the shared analytics store (180-day retention) so you can spot patterns across teams.
Deterministic rails
<10ms
Regex, Presidio PII scanning, topic list matching. Fast enough that users don't notice the check happened.
NeMo self-check
~500ms
Colang 2.0 semantic rules catch nuanced safety issues. Runs in parallel with deterministic rails, not in series.
Profiles at /guardrails. Edit per-rail config in the same page. Test any input or tool call against a profile before deploying. The chrome below matches what your security team sees on day one.

ℹEach agent version pins to a specific profile. Promote dev → test → prod with the same profile, or change profile when promoting (e.g., moderate in dev, strict in prod).
/guardrails in your sandbox today. Real templates: strict · moderate · minimal. Real Test API: POST /v1/guardrails/evaluate.Prompt-level guardrails tell the model what not to say. They don't stop a tool from executing. The governance proxy does. Every MCP tool call is evaluated against wildcard-matched policies on tenant, team, server, tool, and risk level before it is allowed to run.

Six policy actions · pick the right verdict for each policy
ALLOW
Tool call proceeds immediately.
BLOCK
Denied. Agent receives a policy-denied response with the reason.
REQUIRES_APPROVAL
Queued for human review with configurable expiry. Approver sees full context.
RATE_LIMIT
Limit calls per user, agent, or tool within a rolling window.
PII_SCAN
Scan arguments for PII before execution. Log findings, decide to proceed.
REDACT_OUTPUT
Execute the tool but strip PII from the result before returning.
Five risk levels · Policies match on min_risk_level
Can I prove we caught the PII?
Yes. The platform scans inputs and outputs for 13 entity types with per-entity action overrides. Every redaction is logged with timestamps, what was caught, and what action was taken. Exportable to your SIEM.
Can I prove we followed policy?
Every tool call decision is logged with actor, agent, server, tool, arguments (PII-scrubbed), risk level, policy matched, and outcome. 180-day retention on analytics, configurable on full audit.
Can I tune this per team?
Each agent version references its own guardrail profile. Policies support wildcard matching on tenant, team, MCP server, tool, and min_risk_level. No single global config to fight over.
Can you show me the record?
Yes. Trace IDs link every policy event back to the agent session that triggered it. Full context, full rationale, full operator decisions. EU AI Act logging, audit-ready from day one.
The model is the rail.
Frontier models include refusals and content filters. They are not deterministic, not configurable per-org, not auditable, not specific to your topic boundaries, and not a substitute for tool-call gating.
Hope is the strategy.
System prompts that tell the model what not to do. Easy to bypass with crafted inputs, no defense against tool misuse, no record of what was caught and what slipped through.
Inline. Bidirectional. Auditable.
Eight rail types across input rails, agent + governance proxy, output rails. Per-agent guardrail profile. Every decision is logged. Tool calls separately gated by policy.
Production traces feed evaluation. Eval results gate promotion. Hyperparameter and prompt optimization tune configs against the eval. Fine-tuned models register with full lineage. Agents improve over time, with quality scores enforced as the gate.
How the loop closes
Trace
OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation captures every LLM call, tool call, and rail decision. Streamed to your observability tools and the shared audit store.
Evaluate
Seven evaluators score traces: faithfulness, relevancy, context precision, context recall, trajectory, safety check, LLM-as-judge.
Optimize
Production examples drive Optuna prompt search and GRPO/DPO fine-tuning. Red teaming runs adversarial scenarios against the candidate.
Promote
Eval gate enforced: agent versions cannot promote dev → prod if scores drop below threshold. Approved versions hot-reload with zero downtime.
Guardrails that run at the model are advisory. Guardrails that run in line with the runtime are enforceable. The difference between an audit you're proud to show a regulator and one that becomes the news story is whether the rails stopped the request or just logged that something happened.
Sandbox access in 24 hours. Includes a guardrail profile pre-loaded with the strict defaults, a sample agent, and a red-team script that proves the rails fire.
Audit-ready from day one. Your first compliance review will not include surprises.
