AI Guardrails
Guide language and model behavior
- Filter unsafe prompts or outputs.
- Apply content, safety, policy, or data-loss rules.
- Help models stay within approved response boundaries.
- Reduce harmful or inappropriate generation.
SMERC
Govern proposed actions before execution
- Scores whether the action is recoverable enough to execute.
- Returns ALLOW, THROTTLE, FREEZE, DENY, or ESCALATE.
- Preserves reason codes, controls, replay IDs, and ledger evidence.
- Complements IAM, OPA, AI gateways, approval systems, SIEM, and human review.
Clean Positioning
The practical difference
Guardrails help answer, "Should the model produce this?" SMERC helps answer, "Should this action execute now, and what happens if it is wrong?"
