AI Summary
•System acts as a control plane around LLM pipelines, detecting and blocking prompt injections including obfuscation attempts in real time
•Enforces structured tool calls with policy validation and prevents unauthorized data leakage of PII and sensitive information
•Architecture includes gateway layer, context inspection, Open Policy Agent for policies, runtime enforcement with sandboxing, and Apache Kafka/Flink streaming pipeline
•Addresses critical gap in production LLM systems where models have tool access and decision-making capabilities but lack dedicated security controls
