Enable Input/Output Scanners¶
Input and output scanners help evaluate prompts and responses within your application.
- Input scanners assess user inputs or prompts sent to an AI node.
- Output scanners evaluate the responses returned from the LLM.
Note
All system scanners are pre-deployed and available by default. You simply enable the scanners you want to use.
The steps below describe how to enable an input scanner. The steps for enabling an output scanner are similar.
Steps to enable an input scanner:
-
Log in to your account and click Tools under Agent Platform Modules.

-
In the Tools section, select the tool where you want to enable scanners.
-
On the Tool flow page, click Guardrails in the left navigation pane.
-
In the Input Scanners section, review the list of pre-deployed scanners and turn on the toggle to each scanner you want to apply.

-
Click the added scanner to configure its settings, which vary depending on the scanner type. For example, Toxicity includes options such as Risk Threshold and Detection Sensitivity.
