Guardrails: Protect your Agents, Data, and Costs

OpenRouter workspaces offer a suite of configurable security and governance tools known as guardrails, which aid in budget enforcement, zero data retention (ZDR), model and provider restrictions, prompt injection defense, and data loss prevention (DLP). These guardrails can be layered to govern entire workspaces or customized for specific team members or API keys without altering existing code. Budget enforcement allows for setting financial limits to prevent overspending, while ZDR and model/provider restrictions help manage data retention and access to vetted services. Prompt injection defense utilizes regex patterns to detect and handle attempts at unauthorized access or manipulation, offering actions such as flagging, redacting, or blocking requests. DLP features detect and manage sensitive information, using built-in or custom regex patterns, and offer actions like redaction or blocking to maintain compliance with data handling protocols. Guardrails can be assigned across various API keys or organizational members, with the ability to customize and automate their application using the management API, providing a flexible and comprehensive approach to security and cost management.
