## 3. PROMPT INJECTION DEFENSE

### 3.1 Attack Types

| Type | Example | Defense |
|------|---------|---------|
| **Direct** | "Ignore previous instructions" | Input filtering |
| **Indirect** | Malicious doc in RAG | Document sanitization |
| **Jailbreak** | Role-play attacks | Constitutional AI |
| **Leak** | "Print your system prompt" | Output filtering |

### 3.2 Detection Patterns

```python
INJECTION_PATTERNS = [
    # Direct instructions
    r"ignore (all )?(previous|prior|above)",
    r"disregard (all )?(previous|prior|above)",
    r"forget (all )?(previous|prior|above)",

    # Role manipulation
    r"you are now",
    r"pretend (you are|to be)",
    r"act as",
    r"roleplay as",

    # Prompt extraction
    r"(print|show|reveal|display) (your )?(system )?(prompt|instructions)",
    r"what (are|were) your (initial )?(instructions|rules)",

    # Delimiter attacks
    r"```.*ignore.*```",
    r"\[SYSTEM\].*\[/SYSTEM\]",
]

def detect_injection(text: str) -> tuple[bool, str]:
    """Detect potential prompt injection attempts"""
    import re
    for pattern in INJECTION_PATTERNS:
        if re.search(pattern, text, re.IGNORECASE):
            return True, pattern
    return False, ""
```

## 4. HALLUCINATION PREVENTION

### 4.1 Types of Hallucinations

| Type | Description | Detection |
|------|-------------|-----------|
| **Factual** | Wrong facts | RAG grounding |
| **Fabrication** | Made-up entities | Entity verification |
| **Inconsistency** | Self-contradictions | Self-consistency check |
| **Misattribution** | Wrong sources | Citation verification |

### 4.2 Detection Methods

```python
from deepeval.metrics import FaithfulnessMetric
from deepeval.test_case import LLMTestCase

# Faithfulness: Is the answer grounded in context?
faithfulness = FaithfulnessMetric(threshold=0.8)

test_case = LLMTestCase(
    input="What is our authentication method?",
    actual_output="We use OAuth 2.0 with JWT tokens",
    retrieval_context=["Authentication uses JWT tokens signed with RS256"]
)

result = faithfulness.measure(test_case)
# result.score: 0.7 → Below threshold, possible hallucination
```

## 7. NEMO GUARDRAILS

### 7.1 Configuration

```colang
# guardrails.co

define user ask about harm
  "how to hack"
  "how to break into"
  "how to steal"

define bot refuse harm
  "I can't help with that. I'm designed to assist with legitimate development tasks only."

define flow harm_prevention
  user ask about harm
  bot refuse harm
  stop

define user ask off topic
  "what's the weather"
  "tell me a joke"
  "who won the game"

define bot redirect to work
  "Let's focus on your development task. How can I help with the project?"

define flow stay_on_topic
  user ask off topic
  bot redirect to work
```

### 7.2 Integration

```python
from nemoguardrails import LLMRails, RailsConfig

config = RailsConfig.from_path("./guardrails_config")
rails = LLMRails(config)

async def guarded_response(user_input: str):
    # Guardrails applied automatically
    response = await rails.generate_async(
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": user_input}]
    )
    return response
```

## 8. TOOL SAFETY

### 8.1 Dangerous Tools Classification

| Risk Level | Examples | Controls |
|------------|----------|----------|
| **Critical** | rm, DROP, sudo | Block completely |
| **High** | file write, API calls | Approval required |
| **Medium** | file read, search | Rate limit |
| **Low** | calculations, formatting | Allow freely |

### 8.2 Tool Allowlist

```yaml
# tool_safety.yaml
tools:
  allowed:
    - name: Read
      risk: low
      restrictions: null

    - name: Grep
      risk: low

## 11. ANTI-PATTERNS

| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Solution |
|--------------|---------|----------|
| **Trust all inputs** | Injection vulnerable | Always validate |
| **No output filtering** | Harmful content leaks | Filter all outputs |
| **Unlimited tools** | Excessive agency | Allowlist + approval |
| **Ignore hallucinations** | Wrong information | Grounding + verification |
| **Skip security tests** | Vulnerabilities ship | Mandatory security in CI |
| **No incident logging** | Can't learn from failures | Log everything |
