How to Attach Guardrails to Agentspublic

DigitalOcean GenAI Platform lets you build GPU-powered AI agents with fully-managed deployment. Agents can use pre-built or custom foundation models, incorporate function and agent routes, and implement RAG pipelines with knowledge bases.

Guardrails are security components you can attach to GenAI Platform agents. A guardrail overrides the agent’s output when it detects sensitive or inappropriate content in the input or response. For example, it can block the agent from sharing login credentials or credit card information. For details, see our list of supported guardrails.

GenAI supports three guardrails: sensitive data, jailbreak, and content moderation. You can further customize these guardrails by duplicating and editing them.

Note
If your agent handles sensitive data, we recommend reviewing our data privacy page for information about how we manage your data.

Attach Guardrails using the Control Panel

You can attach guardrails to agents in two ways. To simultaneously attach multiple guardrails to the same agent, use the agent’s Resource page. To simultaneously attach multiple agents to the same guardrail, use the Guardrails page.
