A four-layer detection pipeline that scans untrusted text before it reaches your LLM. Catches instruction overrides, jailbreaks, and semantic evasion in milliseconds.
Each layer only activates when the previous layer reaches no definitive verdict, keeping latency near zero for clearly clean or clearly malicious inputs.
Each category is tuned with weighted signals so a single strong indicator overrides multiple weak ones.
<|im_start|>, [INST], ### model tokensNo API key required. Send a POST request to /v1/scan and receive a verdict in milliseconds.
