//! Safety layer for prompt injection defense. //! //! This module provides protection against prompt injection attacks by: //! - Detecting suspicious patterns in external data //! - Sanitizing tool outputs before they reach the LLM //! - Validating inputs before processing //! - Enforcing safety policies //! - Detecting secret leakage in outputs mod credential_detect; mod leak_detector; mod policy; mod sanitizer; mod validator; pub use credential_detect::params_contain_manual_credentials; pub use leak_detector::{ LeakAction, LeakDetectionError, LeakDetector, LeakMatch, LeakPattern, LeakScanResult, LeakSeverity, }; pub use policy::{Policy, PolicyAction, PolicyRule, Severity}; pub use sanitizer::{InjectionWarning, SanitizedOutput, Sanitizer}; pub use validator::{ValidationResult, Validator}; use crate::config::SafetyConfig; /// Unified safety layer combining sanitizer, validator, and policy. pub struct SafetyLayer { sanitizer: Sanitizer, validator: Validator, policy: Policy, leak_detector: LeakDetector, config: SafetyConfig, } impl SafetyLayer { /// Create a new safety layer with the given configuration. pub fn new(config: &SafetyConfig) -> Self { Self { sanitizer: Sanitizer::new(), validator: Validator::new(), policy: Policy::default(), leak_detector: LeakDetector::new(), config: config.clone(), } } /// Sanitize tool output before it reaches the LLM. pub fn sanitize_tool_output(&self, tool_name: &str, output: &str) -> SanitizedOutput { // Check length limits — keep the beginning so the LLM has partial data if output.len() > self.config.max_output_length { // Find a safe truncation point on a char boundary let mut cut = self.config.max_output_length; while cut > 0 && !output.is_char_boundary(cut) { cut -= 1; } let truncated = &output[..cut]; let notice = format!( "\n\n[... truncated: showing {}/{} bytes.
