WHAT IS GUARDRAILS ?
In the context of AI and agents, guardrails are safety mechanisms or controls that prevent the system from doing harmful, unintended, or unauthorized things.
Think of them like digital boundaries or rules that keep the AI “on track.”
For example:
- Preventing jailbreaks (where someone tries to trick the AI into doing something dangerous)
- Blocking risky onchain actions
- Filtering out malicious prompts
- Enforcing safety policies in real time
In @wachai ’s case, guardrails like QuillGuard are used to protect AI agents interacting with smart contracts, money, and sensitive data by detecting threats and reacting before damage is done.
