Screen incoming messages for security threats

Add AI guardrails that work as an LLM firewall for your agents, screening every message for hidden injections, data leaks, and social engineering, then allowing, blocking, or flagging it to strengthen AI agent security.

Useful for
Engineering and platform teams deploying AI agents in production, and the developers responsible for keeping those agents safe from malicious or manipulative inputs.

Copied

When a new message arrives through [incoming message channel — e.g. webhook, chat platform, email], have an AI agent running on [AI model provider] inspect it and interpret its intent against a broad range of security threats, from hidden injection attempts to credential exposure and false authority claims. Based on how risky and ambiguous each request is, the agent decides whether to let the message through to [downstream AI agent or workflow], stop it, or escalate it for human review via [human review channel — e.g. Slack, email, ticketing tool], before anything reaches the main agent.

Problem

Teams building AI agents expose them directly to whatever users or upstream systems send, including disguised prompt injection, credential harvesting, and social engineering attempts. Reviewing every message by hand is impractical, and a single missed attack can leak secrets or hijack how the agent behaves.

Solution

When a message arrives at the main agent's incoming webhook or chat channel, an AI agent inspects it and interprets its true intent against a broad range of security threats, from hidden injection attempts to credential exposure and false authority claims. It weighs how risky and ambiguous each request is, then decides whether to let it through, stop it, or escalate it for human review before anything reaches the main agent.

Impact

Every message is vetted for security threats before it reaches the AI agent, protecting against injection, data leaks, and abuse while letting legitimate requests flow through.

Report LLM spend against budgets

Every week, the automation pulls each employee's AI usage and cost for the current month from the AI platform's usage reports and reads their monthly budget, team, and manager from the budget sheet. It emails each employee a report of their usage against their budget. It then totals usage by team, compares each total with the team budget, and emails each manager a team report showing spend against budget and the employees who exceeded theirs.

Route access requests to owners

When an employee sends an access request in team chat, an AI agent interprets it, identifies the specific app or resource being requested even when described informally, and locates the appropriate owner from an internal registry. The agent then routes the request to that owner with the relevant context for approval.

Assign backlog tickets to owners

On a recurring schedule, an AI agent reviews unassigned tickets in the project tracker backlog, interprets the context of each one, and weighs it against team assignment criteria to identify the most appropriate owner. It assigns each ticket to that team member and moves its status from backlog to active.
