40
+
41
+ Check what an LLM is given for prompt injection - in both places it can arrive.
42
+
43
+ | component | reads | with |
44
+ |---|---|---|
45
+ | `PromptInjectionFilter` | **material**: documents at ingest, before they are chunked and embedded | Picket's `ipi` rules |
46
+ | `PromptInjectionGuard` | **the request**: the turn the model is about to answer | Picket's `dpi` rules |
47
+
48
+ The two rule sets are disjoint, and neither is a stricter version of the other - this is not a
49
+ sensitivity knob. Pick by role: material is what the model works on, the request is what it answers.
50
+ Your code knows which is which; it puts them in different places when it assembles the call.
51
+
52
+ The check is a rule, not a model: no GPU, no network, no key, a few hundred kilobytes of base, and a
53
+ fraction of a millisecond per turn on one core.
54
+
55
+ ## Installation
56
+
57
+ ```bash
58
+ pip install aicordon-haystack
59
+ ```
60
+
61
+ ## Material at ingest
62
+
63
+ ```python
64
+ from haystack import Pipeline
65
+ from haystack.components.preprocessors import DocumentSplitter
66
+ from haystack.components.writers import DocumentWriter
67
+ from haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.aicordon import PromptInjectionFilter
68
+
69
+ pipe = Pipeline()
70
+ pipe.add_component("ipi_filter", PromptInjectionFilter(mode="redact"))
71
+ pipe.add_component("splitter", DocumentSplitter(split_by="word", split_length=200))
72
+ pipe.add_component("writer", DocumentWriter(document_store=store))
73
+
74
+ pipe.connect("converter.documents", "ipi_filter.documents")
75
+ pipe.connect("ipi_filter.documents", "splitter.documents")
76
+ pipe.connect("splitter.documents", "writer.documents")
77
+ pipe.connect("ipi_filter.rejected", "quarantine.documents") # optional; nothing disappears quietly
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ The component sits **before the splitter**: a cut here takes the injection out of the chunks, the
81
+ embeddings and the store at once, with no offsets to reconcile across chunk boundaries. Modes:
82
+ `annotate`, `blank` (keeps the length), `mask`, `redact` (default), `drop`, `fail`. The cut takes
83
+ the whole line holding the span, not the matched characters alone.
84
+
85
+ ## The turn the model answers
86
+
87
+ ```python
88
+ from haystack_integrations.components.validators.aicordon import PromptInjectionGuard
89
+
90
+ pipe.add_component("guard", PromptInjectionGuard()) # mode="drop" is the default
91
+ pipe.connect("prompt.messages", "guard.messages")
92
+ pipe.connect("guard.messages", "llm.messages") # the model is called on this path
93
+ pipe.connect("guard.blocked", "refusal.messages") # and not on this one
94
+ ```
95
+
96
+ **Two sockets, one value.** On a flagged exchange `run` returns `blocked` and no `messages` key, so
97
+ the generator is not called at all. Connect `blocked` to whatever answers the user instead. The
98
+ decision is for the exchange, not for one message. This side never edits a turn: a typed jailbreak
99
+ is not spliced into anything - it *is* the turn.
100
+
101
+ ## Measured
102
+
103
+ Not the detector's recall - that ships with the detector - but what the pipeline delivers with the
104
+ component and without.

113
+ | payload gone without a trace | 13.1% | **52.3%** |
114
+ | clean documents dropped or trimmed | 0 of 1000 | 0 of 1000 |
115
+
116
+ **The request** - held-out forum jailbreaks from
117
+ [TrustAIRLab in-the-wild](https://huggingface.co/datasets/TrustAIRLab/in-the-wild-jailbreak-prompts)
118
+ (537) against 20 000 real [WildChat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/WildChat-1M) turns,
119
+ `mode="drop"`:
120
+
121
+ | | |
122
+ |---|---|
123
+ | attacks reaching the model, without the guard | 100% (537 of 537) |
124
+ | attacks reaching the model, with it | **65.2%** |
125
+ | turns not answered, out of 20 000 real ones | 0.070% (14) |
126
+ | verdicts differing from the bare detector | **0** |
127
+
128
+ Adding the component costs **0.39 ms for a turn of median length**; loading the base costs 15 ms,
129
+ once per process. No findings does not mean no injection.

2
+
3
+ ## 0.1.0 — 2026-08-21
4
+
5
+ First release. Two components, one per place a pipeline holds text a model is about to read.
6
+
7
+ * **`PromptInjectionFilter`** — `haystack_integrations.components.preprocessors.aicordon`. Reads
8
+ documents at ingest with the `ipi` rules, before chunking and embedding. Six modes (`annotate`,
9
+ `blank`, `mask`, `redact`, `drop`, `fail`); the cut takes the whole line holding the span, or the
10
+ sentence when the line is long. Two output sockets, so a dropped document goes to quarantine
11
+ instead of disappearing.
12
+ * **`PromptInjectionGuard`** — `haystack_integrations.components.validators.aicordon`. Reads the
13
+ message list on its way into the generator with the `dpi` rules. The decision is for the whole
14
+ exchange: when it fires, `run` returns `blocked` and **no** `messages` key, which is how a
15
+ pipeline branches — the generator is not called at all. This side never edits a turn.
16
+
17
+ Both are thin; the policy lives in `aicordon.guard`, which ships with the detector. Hence
18
+ `aicordon>=1.1.0`: against 1.0.0 the install resolves and the import fails.
19
+
20
+ Measured on the pipeline, not on the detector:
21
+
22
+ | | |
23
+ |---|---|
24
+ | injected payload reaching the store, `mode="redact"` | 85.4% with the filter, 100% without |
25
+ | clean documents damaged | 0 of 1000 |
26
+ | held-out forum jailbreaks reaching the generator, `mode="drop"` | 65.2% with the guard, 100% without |
27
+ | real WildChat turns left unanswered | 0.070% (14 of 20 000), an upper bound |
28
+ | **verdicts differing from the bare detector** | **0** |
29
+ | cost per turn of median length | 0.39 ms; 15 ms once, to load the base |
30
+
31
+ The last row licenses the others: a wrapper that loses or adds text makes every number above it
32
+ meaningless.

+ # Haystack: the contract, established from the sources
2
+
3
+ Checked 2026-08-13. The clone in `upstream/` at `ba92ec9` is **3.1.0-rc0**, i.e. the development
4
+ branch; the last RELEASED version is **v3.0.0** (2026-07-20). The wrapper is written against 3.0.x,
5
+ and the clone is what tells us whether the contract is drifting by 3.1.
6
+
7
+ Repository: `deepset-ai/haystack`, Apache-2.0, 26 201 stars. The catalogue of third-party
8
+ integrations is a separate repository, `deepset-ai/haystack-integrations` (a card via PR); what
9
+ deepset maintains itself lives in `haystack-core-integrations`.
10
+
11
+ ## What a component is obliged to do
12
+
13
+ Source of truth: the docstring of `haystack/core/component/component.py`, which says it outright.
14
+
15
+ * The class is marked `@component`.
16
+ * **`run()`** is mandatory; output types are declared with `@component.output_types(...)`, and a
17
+ `dict` with those same keys is returned.
18
+ * **`__init__` must be cheap** — it is called when the pipeline is assembled and validated. Heavy
19
+ initialisation goes into the optional `warm_up()`, which the pipeline calls before a run.
20
+ * **`__init__` parameters must be primitives** (strings, numbers, lists and dicts of them). Objects
21
+ and functions are forbidden: parameters must be JSON-serialisable or the pipeline cannot be saved
22
+ or loaded. If an object is needed, take its import path as a string and resolve it inside.
23
+ * **Do not modify the input in place**: work on a copy and return that (`dataclasses.replace` for a
24
+ single field, `deepcopy` for anything richer). Otherwise the edit leaks into other branches of the
25
+ pipeline.
26
+
27
+ ## What follows for us
28
+
29
+ 1. The detector is heavy state (a 376 KB base, ~17 ms to load): raise it in `warm_up()`, not in
30
+ `__init__`. Otherwise the cost is paid on every pipeline assembly, validation included.
31
+ 2. Pass only strings into `__init__`: the mode (`redact` / `drop` / `annotate`), the metadata
32
+ prefix. No "hand the detector object in here" — that breaks saving the pipeline.
33
+ 3. Copy documents before editing their text: in an indexing pipeline the same list may go into a
34
+ second branch.
35
+ 4. Give the component two outputs: the clean stream and the rejected one. Connections are named, so
36
+ the rejected pile goes to its own store in one `connect` line instead of vanishing quietly.
37
+
38
+ ## Where we sit
39
+
40
+ Two places, one per role the text plays in the prompt.
41
+
42
+ **Material** — the indexing pipeline: `converter → (our component) → cleaner → splitter → embedder →
43
+ writer`. BEFORE the splitter: what is cut then reaches neither the embeddings nor the store, and no
44
+ chunk boundaries need stitching.
45
+
46
+ **The request** — the chat pipeline: `prompt builder → (our component) → chat generator`, with a
47
+ second wire `blocked → whoever answers instead of the model`. RIGHT NEXT to the generator, on the
48
+ message list about to enter it: anything between the check and the call is one more place the text
49
+ could change.
50
+
51
+ ## Traps the mock-up caught (2026-08-13)
52
+
53
+ 1. **Settings are lost silently when a pipeline is saved.** Without a `to_dict` of its own, Haystack
54
+ restores parameters through `getattr(obj, "<parameter name>")`, and where the attribute is
55
+ missing it **substitutes the default from the signature** and says nothing. A component built
56
+ with `mode="annotate"` came back out of YAML as `redact`. The cure: keep the parameters on the
57
+ object under those same names AND declare `to_dict`/`from_dict` via
58
+ `default_to_dict`/`default_from_dict`. Covered by a YAML round trip in the tests.
59
+ 2. **The order of chunks out of a store is not guaranteed**, and `split_overlap` repeats the tail of
60
+ the previous chunk. A measurement that glued chunks back together reported 92.5% where the answer
61
+ is 100% because of it. The acceptance measurement now has no splitter in it at all: it stands
62
+ AFTER us and cannot affect the result.
63
+ 3. **Logging is not a mode.** It is wanted under `drop` as much as under `annotate`, so it goes
64
+ through `haystack.logging` at `warning` level rather than being a value of the parameter.
65
+
66
+ ## What carries over to LlamaIndex or LangChain
67
+
68
+ The policy (`aicordon.guard`) carries over as it is — modes, cut boundaries, metadata. A wrapper is
69
+ the host's document type translated into a string and back, plus the host's contract: for LlamaIndex
70
+ `TransformComponent.__call__(nodes)`, for LangChain `BaseDocumentTransformer.transform_documents`.
71
+ Check their serialisation separately — Haystack is not the only framework that loses a mode without
72
+ a word.
73
+
74
+ ## The request side: contract and traps (2026-08-18)
75
+
76
+ The second component is `PromptInjectionGuard`, in
77
+ `haystack_integrations.components.validators.aicordon`. Category `validators` rather than
78
+ `preprocessors`: it prepares nothing, it decides whether to call the model.
79
+
80
+ 1. **A branch in Haystack is an ABSENT key in the returned dict, not an empty list.** The receiver
81
+ gets `_NoOutputProduced` (`core/pipeline/component_checks.py`) and does not run at all. Returning
82
+ `{"messages": [], "blocked": [...]}` means calling the generator with an empty list. So `run`
83
+ returns exactly one of the two keys. Covered by a test with a control: on a clean turn the next
84
+ component IS in the pipeline output, on a flagged one it is not.
85
+ 2. **`ChatMessage.text` is the FIRST text part, not the whole message.** In a message with an image
86
+ the parts come as a list, and an attack in the second text part is invisible to `text` — with no
87
+ error of any kind. We read `texts` and join them. Covered by a test.
88
+ 3. **The text of a tool result is NOT in `texts`.** For role `tool` the content sits in
89
+ `tool_call_result.result` and `texts` is empty. A wrapper reading only `texts` would check the
90
+ role against an empty string and write "read, clean", which is worse than a crash. We read `texts`
91
+ plus the call results; the calls themselves (`tool_calls`) we do not, they are the model's output
92
+ rather than what it was given. Covered by a test.
93
+ 4. **Edit a message only through a copy**: `ChatMessage` carries `@_warn_on_inplace_mutation`, and
94
+ the same list may go into a second branch of the pipeline. The copy is
95
+ `dataclasses.replace(msg, _meta=...)` (the underscored dataclass fields are their real names in
96
+ `__init__`).
97
+ 5. **The same serialisation trap as in the filter**, now with a dict parameter: `roles` has to sit
98
+ on the object under its own name and be listed in `to_dict`. Covered by a YAML round trip.
99
+ 6. **The decision is for the exchange, not for a message.** Dropping the flagged turn and calling
100
+ the model with the rest is not allowed: the model then answers the message before it.
