open-guardrail (Python)

309 guards. Zero dependencies. Pure Python. <0.1ms latency.

Install

pip install open-guardrail

Quick Start

from open_guardrail import pipe, prompt_injection, pii, keyword

pipeline = pipe(
    prompt_injection(action="block"),
    pii(entities=["email", "phone"], action="mask"),
    keyword(denied=["hack", "exploit"], action="block"),
)

result = pipeline.run("user input text here")
if not result.passed:
    print(f"Blocked: {result.action}")
# result.output contains masked text when PII is detected

Guard Composition

from open_guardrail import compose, when, parallel

# Bundle guards
security = compose("security",
    prompt_injection(action="block"),
    sql_injection(action="block"),
)

# Conditional execution
long_text_check = when(lambda t: len(t) > 200, toxicity(action="block"))

# Parallel execution
fast = parallel(prompt_injection(action="block"), toxicity(action="block"))
