ReleasePort's take

Light signal
editorial:auto 13d

Armorer-Guard v0.2.1 ships Rust-native local scanning for LLM threats: credential redaction, prompt injection, exfiltration, and safety bypass detection via semantic lanes. Supports LangChain, CrewAI, MCP with Python wrapper and structured JSON verdicts.

Why it matters: Development teams can implement offline LLM threat detection: credential redaction for API keys and tokens, semantic lanes for injection/exfiltration/bypass detection. Achieves 0.0247 ms latency with no external calls.

Full changelog

Armorer Guard is a local Rust scanner for AI-agent runtimes. It inspects prompts, retrieved content, model output, and tool-call arguments before they become context, logs, outbound messages, or executed actions.

Highlights:

  • Rust-native scanner core with no scanner network calls
  • 0.0247 ms average exported classifier latency
  • structured JSON verdicts with sanitized_text, suspicious, reasons, and confidence
  • credential redaction for common API keys, bot tokens, passwords, and generic secrets
  • semantic lanes for prompt injection, exfiltration, system prompt extraction, safety bypass, sensitive-data requests, and destructive commands
  • policy/tool-call context through inspect-json
  • thin Python wrapper around the same Rust binary
  • examples for LangChain, CrewAI, MCP, Node/Express-style handlers, NanoClaw, and CI smoke tests
