Hi Hacker News! Matvey, one of the authors, is here. While building enterprise agents, we ran into a problem: the more tools you connect to the AI, the higher the chance it will run out of control and leak sensitive data. Guardrails, in theory, should prevent this, but the situation is worrying: - Non-deterministic guardrails (LLM as a judge, auto modes, etc.) are vulnerable to prompt injections, or they lack knowledge of the data, making them inefficient (~10% data leaks on our benchmarks). - Existing deterministic guardrails (Cedar, OPA, FIDES, Dogwood) require massive case-specific IF-E
