# Guardrails
The [@sentinelseed/moltbot](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sentinelseed/moltbot) package provides AI safety guardrails for Moltbot, including real-time validation, data leak prevention, and threat detection.
```bash
npm install @sentinelseed/moltbot
```
## Quick Start
Add to your Moltbot config:
```json
{
"plugins": {
"sentinel": {
"level": "watch"
}
}
}
```
## Protection Levels
| Level | Blocking | Alerting | Best For |
|-------|----------|----------|----------|
| `off` | None | None | Disable Sentinel |
| `watch` | None | All threats | Daily use, full visibility |
| `guard` | Critical | High+ threats | Sensitive data environments |
| `shield` | Maximum | All threats | High-security workflows |
The default `watch` mode provides full monitoring with zero blocking. Higher levels add protection you can always bypass when needed.
## Hook Integration
Sentinel provides a hook factory that integrates with Moltbot's hook system:
```ts
import { createSentinelHooks } from '@sentinelseed/moltbot';
const hooks = createSentinelHooks({
level: 'guard',
alerts: {
enabled: true,
webhook: 'https://your-webhook.com/sentinel'
}
});
export const moltbot_hooks = {
message_received: hooks.messageReceived,
before_agent_start: hooks.beforeAgentStart,
message_sending: hooks.messageSending,
before_tool_call: hooks.beforeToolCall,
agent_end: hooks.agentEnd,
};
```
## Validators
For advanced use cases, validators can be used directly:
```ts
import { validateOutput, validateTool, analyzeInput, getLevelConfig } from '@sentinelseed/moltbot';
const levelConfig = getLevelConfig('guard');
const outputResult = await validateOutput(content, levelConfig);
if (outputResult.shouldBlock) {
console.log('Blocked:', outputResult.issues);
}
const toolResult = await validateTool('bash', { command: 'ls' }, levelConfig);
const inputResult = await analyzeInput(userMessage);
```
## Escape Hatches
When you need to bypass protection:
```bash
/sentinel pause 5m # Pause for 5 minutes
/sentinel allow-once # Allow next action
/sentinel trust bash # Trust a tool for the session
/sentinel resume # Resume protection
```
## Configuration
```json
{
"plugins": {
"sentinel": {
"level": "guard",
"alerts": {
"enabled": true,
"webhook": "https://your-webhook.com/sentinel",
"minSeverity": "high"
},
"ignorePatterns": ["MY_SAFE_TOKEN"],
"logLevel": "warn"
}
}
}
```
All validation runs locally without external API calls.
