Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/llm-trust-guard) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

35 security guards for LLM-powered and agentic AI applications. Zero dependencies. Covers OWASP Top 10 for LLMs 2025, OWASP Agentic AI 2026, and MCP Security.

Also available as a Python package on PyPI (pip install llm-trust-guard).

What This Package Does (And What It Doesn't)

"The LLM proposes. The orchestrator disposes."

This package is your first line of defense — like a WAF (Web Application Firewall) for LLM applications. It sits in the orchestration layer and catches known attack patterns before they reach the LLM and after the LLM responds.

What it catches well

Per-category detection rates below are measured against the package's curated unit-test suite (representative attack samples per category). On broader held-out corpora these rates are typically lower — see tests/adversarial/RESULTS-v4.32.5.md for measured detection on attack corpora and Known limitations below.

Known prompt injection phrases (170+ patterns, 11 languages)
Encoding bypass attacks (9 formats: Base64, URL, Unicode, Hex, HTML, ROT13, Octal, Base32, mixed); RAGGuard also decodes URL-encoded document content before injection matching
Policy Puppetry attacks (JSON/INI/XML/YAML-formatted injection) — 100% on unit tests
Role-play/persona attacks (translator trick, academic pretext, emotional manipulation) — 100% on unit tests
PAP/persuasion attacks (authority, urgency, emotional manipulation) — 100% on unit tests
Multilingual injection (10 languages) — 100% on unit tests
Homoglyph attacks (Cyrillic/Greek character substitution) — normalized and detected
PII and secret leakage in outp
