Production-Ready ModelShield Framework

ModelShield is a comprehensive, production-ready framework for implementing safety guardrails in Large Language Model (LLM) applications. It provides multi-layered protection against prompt injection, content policy violations, and ensures responsible AI deployment.

• 📝 Pattern-Based Detection: Comprehensive regex patterns for known attack vectors
• 🔍 Enhanced PII Detection: Microsoft Presidio integration for context-aware personal data identification
• 🧠 Semantic Analysis: Transformer-based ML models for detecting obfuscated and novel attacks
• 📤 Output Scanning: Real-time validation of model responses before delivery

• ⚡ FastAPI Server: High-performance async API with automatic documentation
• 🔄 Context-Aware: Intelligent severity adjustment based on use case (educational, medical, creative)
• 📊 Comprehensive Monitoring: Detailed analytics and violation tracking
• 🎯 Extensive Coverage: 500+ detection patterns across 12+ violation categories

• 🔧 Easy Integration: Simple API endpoints and Python SDK
• 📋 Comprehensive Testing: Built-in evaluation framework with benchmarking
• 🎨 Customizable: Extensible pattern library and configurable thresholds
• 📖 Rich Documentation: Interactive API docs and examples

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/baw117/ModelShield.git
cd modelshield

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Download spaCy model for enhanced PII detection
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

# Start the server
python startup.py

from guardrails import ProductionGuardrailsServer, ProductionConfig

# Create configuration
config = ProductionConfig(
    enable_semantic_detection=True,
    enable_enhanced_pii=True,
    enable_output_scanning=True
)

# Start server
server = ProductionGuardrailsServer(config)
server.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

# Test input validation
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/validate-input" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"prompt": "Hello, how can I help you today?", "user_id": "user123"}'

# Test output validation
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/validate-output" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"response_text": "Here is some helpful information...", "original_prompt": "How do I...?"}'

ModelShield employs a multi-layered detection approach:

Input → Pattern Detection → PII Detection → Semantic Analysis → Context Analysis → Decision
