+description: |
+  Input and output rails as ordinary Ruby objects, returning passed, modified,
+  or blocked, and reporting whether a rail actually reached the decision.
+  Deterministic rails need no network at all; model-backed ones call any
+  OpenAI-compatible endpoint through a provider abstraction that prefers a
+  local proxy. Reads and writes NeMo Guardrails configuration folders and
+  executes their Colang flows in process, with an optional client for teams
+  who already run the Python server. Standard library only.
