- It lays out six layers: input guardrails, tool guardrails, output guardrails, action approval gates, a runtime policy engine, and continuous monitoring with automatic rollback.
- The post frames guardrails as a product feature for production agents, especially against prompt injection, PII leaks, jailbreaks, and risky side effects.
