Overview

This repository contains custom providers for Llama Stack, including:

• Question Validity Shield: Ensures queries are related to OpenShift/Ansible topics (It can be Configured for other Platforms).
• Redaction Shield: Automatically detects and redacts sensitive information from user messages
• Additional safety and content filtering providers

Building and publishing

Manual procedure, assuming an existing PyPI API token available:

## Generate distribution archives to be uploaded into Python registry
pdm run python -m build
## Upload distribution archives into Python registry
pdm run python -m twine upload --repository ${PYTHON_REGISTRY} dist/*

Features

Redaction Shield

• Pattern-based redaction: YAML-configurable regex patterns for flexible content filtering
• Automatic detection: Detects credit card numbers, API keys, tokens, passwords, and custom patterns

Question Validity Shield

• Topic validation: Ensures queries are related to specified topics (OpenShift/Ansible) (It can be configured for other Platforms)
• LLM-powered classification: Uses AI to determine query relevance
• Customizable responses: Configure custom messages for invalid queries

Local Setup

Method 1: Using with Existing Llama Stack

1. Install the Python package

   pip install lightspeed_stack_providers
   

2. Configure your run.yaml (see Configuration section below)

Configuration

1. Register External Providers

Add to your run.yaml file:

# External providers configuration
external_providers_dir: ${env.EXTERNAL_PROVIDERS_DIR:/providers.d}

# Changes in the providers

providers:
  safety:
  - provider_id: llama-guard
    provider_type: inline::llama-guard
    config:
      excluded_categories: []

# For Redaction shields

  - provider_id: lightspeed_redaction
    provider_type: inline::lightspeed_redaction
    config:
        case_sensitive: false
        rules:
          - pattern: "(?i)(password|passwd)[\\s:=]+[^\\s]+"
            replacement: "[REDACTED_PASSWORD]"
          
          - pattern: "(?i)(registry|image):\\s*([\\w\\d\\.-]+)(:[\\w\\d\\.-]+)?"
            replacement: "\\1: [REDACTED_IMAGE]"
          
          - pattern: "(?i)(url|endpoint):\\s*https?://[\\w\\.-]+(:\\d+)?(/[\\w\\d\\.-]*)*"
            replacement: "\\1: [REDACTED_URL]"

        
          - pattern: "\\b(?:\\d{1,3}\\.){3}\\d{1,3}\\b"
            replacement: "[REDACTED_IP]"
        
          - pattern: "(?i)(api_key|secret)[\\s:=]+[a-zA-Z0-9\\-_]{16,}"
            replacement: "[REDACTED_SECRET]"
          
          - pattern: "(?i)(ssh-rsa|ssh-ed25519)\\s+[A-Za-z0-9+/=]+"

# changes in the agents : 

shields:
  - shield_id: lightspeed_question_validity-shield

  - shield_id: redaction-shield
    provider_id: lightspeed_redaction
    provider_shield_id: lightspeed-redaction-shield

Usage Examples

Testing Redaction

# Test the redaction shield
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8321/v1/safety/run-shield" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "shield_id": "redaction-shield",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "My API key is abc123xyz and password is secret456"
      }
    ]
  }'

Adding New Providers

1. Create provider directory

   mkdir -p ./providers.d/inline/safety/
   curl -o ./providers.d/inline/safety/lightspeed_question_validity.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lightspeed-core/lightspeed-            providers/refs/heads/main/resources/external_providers/inline/safety/lightspeed_question_validity.yaml
   curl -o ./providers.d/inline/safety/lightspeed_question_validity.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lightspeed-core/lightspeed-            providers/refs/heads/main/resources/external_providers/inline/safety/lightspeed_redaction.yaml   
   

2. Add external provider definition

   # resources/external_providers/your_provider.yaml
   module: lightspeed_stack_providers.providers.inline.safety.your_provider
   config_class: lightspeed_stack_providers.providers.inline.safety.your_provider.config.YourProviderConfig
   pip_packages: ["lightspeed_stack_providers"]
   api_dependencies:
     - safety
