WalkthroughA new GuardrailValidator component is introduced to validate input text against multiple security and safety guardrails using LLM-based detection. The component includes checks for PII, tokens, jailbreak attempts, offensive content, malicious code, prompt injection, and custom guardrails. Component index and hash history are updated to register the new component. Changes

In `@src/lfx/src/lfx/_assets/component_index.json`:
- Around line 85635-85651: In _check_guardrail change the behavior when the LLM
response cannot be parsed: instead of defaulting to decision = "NO" (pass),
treat an unparseable response as a failure (fail-closed). Update the fallback
branch in _check_guardrail (the block that currently sets decision = "NO" and
logs a warning) to set decision = "YES" or otherwise mark passed = False, set
explanation to a clear parsing/error message, and log an error (use
logger.error) so callers (_run_validation, process_fail) will record the failure
and add the fixed justification; ensure the returned tuple reflects a failing
result so the component does not "fail open."
- Around line 85635-85651: The heuristic in _heuristic_jailbreak_check uses the
overly broad pattern r"act as" which will false-positive normal role requests;
update the patterns list in _heuristic_jailbreak_check to replace that entry
with a stricter pattern (e.g., require word boundaries and contextual qualifiers
like r\"\\bact as\\b.*(unrestricted|no rules|without restrictions|without
limits)\" or combine with nearby jailbreak terms) so only explicit jailbreak
phrasing is matched; modify the patterns array in the GuardrailsComponent class
and run unit/manual tests on examples like \"act as a translator\" and \"act as
if you have no rules\" to verify correct behavior.
- Around line 85635-85651: The _pre_run_setup method resets cached validation
state but is never called; update _run_validation to call self._pre_run_setup()
at its start (before using or checking self._validation_result and
self._failed_checks) so each run begins with a fresh state, or alternatively
remove _pre_run_setup if you prefer not to use it; reference the _pre_run_setup
and _run_validation methods when making the change.
- Around line 85635-85651: The _check_guardrail method only catches KeyError and
AttributeError, leaving network/timeouts/rate-limit and other LLM errors
uncaught; change the final exception handler in _check_guardrail to catch
Exception (e.g., except Exception as e:) and handle it by logging a clear error
via logger.error including check_type and the exception, append a helpful
message to self._failed_checks (e.g., "LLM Error: ..."), set an appropriate
self.status and self._validation_result (False), and re-raise a wrapped
RuntimeError/ValueError with context so callers like _run_validation can surface
the failure instead of crashing unexpectedly.
In `@src/lfx/src/lfx/components/llm_operations/guardrails.py`:
- Around line 128-143: In update_build_config, the current conversion
bool(field_value) incorrectly treats string "False" as True; instead explicitly
parse field_value into a boolean (handle actual booleans, numeric/empty values,
and string forms like "false", "False", "0", "no") when setting enable_custom
from the incoming field_value (field_name == "enable_custom_guardrail"). Update
the branch in update_build_config that computes enable_custom (and any use of
getattr(self, "enable_custom_guardrail", False)) to normalize the value to a
real bool before assigning build_config["custom_guardrail_explanation"]["show"]
so the explanation field is shown/hidden correctly.
- Around line 170-173: The docstring for _check_guardrail violates Ruff
D205/D415; update its triple-quoted docstring so the summary line ends with a
period and add a blank line between that summary and the longer
description—e.g., change """Check a specific guardrail using LLM. Returns
(passed, reason)""" to a multi-line docstring with a period after the summary
and an empty line before the "Returns..." paragraph to satisfy D205/D415.
- Around line 535-549: The call to self._check_guardrail can raise exceptions
which currently bubble up and abort the component; wrap the call to
self._check_guardrail(llm, input_text, check_name, check_desc) in a try/except,
catch broad exceptions (e.g., Exception), log the error, set passed = False and
reason to the exception message (or a generic message), then use the existing
failure handling: compute fixed_justification via
self._get_fixed_justification(check_name), append to self._failed_checks, set
self.status to the FAILED message and logger.warning, and continue the existing
fail-fast behavior so the component emits fail output instead of crashing.
- Around line 516-520: When enable_custom_guardrail is true but
custom_guardrail_explanation is empty the guardrail is silently skipped; add an
explicit warning/status emission in that branch so users know it was skipped.
Inside the same block where you check getattr(self, "enable_custom_guardrail",
False) and compute custom_explanation, if custom_explanation is empty call the
component's logging/status facility (e.g., self.logger.warning or
self._emit_status) with a clear message like "Custom guardrail enabled but no
description provided; skipping custom guardrail" and/or append a visible status
entry to checks_to_run so the skipped state is surfaced to callers; keep the
existing behavior of appending the check only when a non-empty explanation
exists.
- Around line 199-206: The multi-line f-string assigned to prompt in the
check_type == "Prompt Injection" branch of guardrails.py contains lines longer
than 120 chars and must be wrapped; break the long lines inside that
triple-quoted prompt (the prompt variable) so no physical source line exceeds
120 chars—either insert explicit newlines within the string or split the string
into shorter concatenated segments (keeping it as an f-string), preserving the
exact content and indentation/markers like <<<SYSTEM_INSTRUCTIONS_START>>> and
the bullet points; update only the prompt string formatting so behavior of the
prompt_validator/guardrail logic is unchanged.
- Around line 36-115: The E501 failures come from overly long info strings —
update the info arguments by splitting/wrapping them into shorter string
literals (using implicit adjacent-string concatenation or parentheses) for the
MultilineInput with name="pass_override", MultilineInput with
name="fail_override", BoolInput with name="check_pii", and MessageTextInput with
name="custom_guardrail_explanation" so the visible UI text remains identical but
no single source line exceeds the max length; keep the same wording and only
break the string literals into multiple shorter pieces.

Security risk: Defaulting to pass on unparseable LLM response.
In _check_guardrail, when the LLM response cannot be parsed (no clear YES/NO), the code defaults to decision = "NO" (pass). For a security component, failing open is risky—consider failing closed instead.
Proposed fix in embedded code
- # Default to NO (pass) if we can't determine - be conservative
+ # Default to YES (fail) if we can't determine - fail closed for security
if decision is None:
- decision = "NO"

_check_guardrail change the behavior when the LLM response cannot be parsed:
instead of defaulting to decision = "NO" (pass), treat an unparseable response
as a failure (fail-closed). Update the fallback branch in _check_guardrail (the
block that currently sets decision = "NO" and logs a warning) to set decision =
"YES" or otherwise mark passed = False, set explanation to a clear parsing/error
message, and log an error (use logger.error) so callers (_run_validation,
process_fail) will record the failure and add the fixed justification; ensure
the returned tuple reflects a failing result so the component does not "fail
open."
Overly broad heuristic pattern r"act as" will cause false positives.

The _pre_run_setup method is defined but never invoked.

docstring with a period after the summary and an empty line before the
"Returns..." paragraph to satisfy D205/D415.

Break long prompt lines to satisfy Ruff E501.
Line 201/204–206 exceed 120 chars. Add line breaks inside the prompt string.

206, The multi-line f-string assigned to prompt in the check_type == "Prompt
Injection" branch of guardrails.py contains lines longer than 120 chars and must
be wrapped; break the long lines inside that triple-quoted prompt (the prompt
variable) so no physical source line exceeds 120 chars—either insert explicit
newlines within the string or split the string into shorter concatenated
segments (keeping it as an f-string), preserving the exact content and
indentation/markers like <<<SYSTEM_INSTRUCTIONS_START>>> and the bullet points;
update only the prompt string formatting so behavior of the
prompt_validator/guardrail logic is unchanged.

Custom guardrail can be enabled without a description (silent skip).
When the toggle is on but the description is empty, the guardrail is ignored with no feedback. Emit a warning/status so users know it was skipped.

520, When enable_custom_guardrail is true but custom_guardrail_explanation is
empty the guardrail is silently skipped; add an explicit warning/status emission
in that branch so users know it was skipped. Inside the same block where you
check getattr(self, "enable_custom_guardrail", False) and compute
custom_explanation, if custom_explanation is empty call the component's
logging/status facility (e.g., self.logger.warning or self._emit_status) with a
clear message like "Custom guardrail enabled but no description provided;
skipping custom guardrail" and/or append a visible status entry to checks_to_run
so the skipped state is surfaced to callers; keep the existing behavior of
appending the check only when a non-empty explanation exists.

Guardrail check exceptions bubble up and bypass routing.
Errors from _check_guardrail (network/API) currently propagate and can abort the component without populating fail output. Catch and convert them into a failed validation.

549, The call to self._check_guardrail can raise exceptions which currently
bubble up and abort the component; wrap the call to self._check_guardrail(llm,
input_text, check_name, check_desc) in a try/except, catch broad exceptions
(e.g., Exception), log the error, set passed = False and reason to the exception
message (or a generic message), then use the existing failure handling: compute
fixed_justification via self._get_fixed_justification(check_name), append to
self._failed_checks, set self.status to the FAILED message and logger.warning,
and continue the existing fail-fast behavior so the component emits fail output
instead of crashing.

Overview
This PR introduces a new Guardrails component that provides comprehensive security and safety validation for text inputs using LLM-based detection. The component enables users to validate inputs against multiple security guardrails before processing, helping prevent security vulnerabilities, data leaks, and inappropriate content.
