Agent security & threat detection

NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails

Open-source Python toolkit that intercepts LLM application inputs, outputs and custom action calls, applying configurable rails written in YAML and Colang to block or modify content. The guardrail catalogue includes jailbreak detection, PII handling and agentic security checks; the repository labels the release beta and not production-recommended.

Ask for a demonstration

Show me NeMo Guardrails applying an execution rail around a tool-calling action plus jailbreak detection, and explain the beta production caveat in the repository.

Capabilities and evidence

Support labels reflect the supplied research. Documentation and vendor claims are not independent product tests. “Not established” means the researcher did not find support; it does not prove a capability is absent.

Documented by provider

NeMo Guardrails intercepts inputs and outputs of LLM applications, applies configurable safety checks and blocks or modifies content based on defined policies, configured with YAML files, Colang flows and custom actions.

Limit: Rail effectiveness depends on operator configuration and chosen models; no benchmark is provided on the fetched pages.

Limit: Agentic security catalogue entry is listed without detailed threat coverage on the fetched pages.
