Guardrail
A multi-layered constraint mechanism built into large language models during training and inference. It encompasses RLHF-based value alignment, input/output content filtering layers, and system-prompt behavioral rules, designed to prevent the model from generating harmful outputs.
Core Facts
The pattern of generating answers and citing sources helps alleviate trust issues caused by AI hallucinations.
The Guardrail mechanism is a system for validating and filtering model inputs and outputs, capable of intercepting sensitive information, illegal requests, or non-compliant content before input enters the model or before output is returned to the user.

Timeline (last 90 days)
A guardrail itself is usually a lightweight agent that uses structured output to make a binary judgment, so it adds the overhead of one extra LLM call.
The Guardrail mechanism of the Agents SDK throws an InputGuardrailTripwireTriggered or OutputGuardrailTripwireTriggered exception when it determines a policy violation, immediately halting the agent's run rather than merely returning a warning.
The Guardrail simultaneously assumes three responsibilities: checking input, filtering output, and limiting budget.
The Reflection Loop corresponds to self-healing, the Human Loop to authorization, and the Guardrail to boundaries; none of the three can be omitted.
The Guardrail intercepts prompt injection attacks on the input side, reviews generated content on the output side, and sets a cost cap for each session on the budget side, terminating when the cap is reached.
Guards sit between the model and the tool functions, bearing responsibility for safety validation by checking before any tool is called, and are a key mechanism for defending against prompt injection and abnormal operations.
The guardrail mechanism sets three rules: AI is not allowed to fabricate information, must say it doesn't know when it doesn't, and must always cite sources when answering.
The new version allows customization of the prompt message displayed when an output guardrail is triggered.

In the AI systems field, guardrail broadly refers to a constraint layer imposed on model or agent outputs and behaviors.
