What is JGuardrails and how does it work?

Java library for LLM input/output pipelines. Rails inspect/modify/block before/after model calls. Blocks prompt injection, PII, more.

Does JGuardrails work with Spring AI or LangChain4j?

Yes—adapters included. Framework-agnostic otherwise via callbacks. Java 17+.

Is JGuardrails enough to secure production LLMs?

Strong start, not complete. Patterns catch most; tune for your threats. Combine with monitoring.
