Quick Start - Gateway
Connect a provider, create a Virtual Key, and make your first guarded LLM call.
DeepIntShield
Real-time guardrails for prompts, agents, and tools - authorize and govern tool calls, detect PII and jailbreaks, and measure hallucination risk with configurable inline and post-response controls.

Current Python SDK reference: 3.0.0, compatible with DeepIntShield Server 2.8.3. Read the SDK release and migration notes or install the SDK. The October documentation update covers the latest guardrail configuration guidance. Check your deployment’s server version and available features separately.
Start here
Section titled “Start here”Performance & Cost
Five optimizations ship enabled (or one flag away): embedded runtime, speculative dispatch, async post-guards, per-category timeouts, semantic cache short-circuit.
AI Guardrails
Configure safety policies across input, output, action, MCP, and RAG evaluation stages.
Billing and plans
What Team and Business include, how monthly extras (request overage and extra seats) are invoiced, UPI AutoPay, and what happens when an invoice goes unpaid.
Python SDK
Use native OpenAI sync/async clients across providers, with framework binders, explicit guardrails, RAG filtering, MCP and Agentic enforcement.
Multimodal and streaming
Send images and PDFs, generate media, handle complete stream outcomes, and understand what attachment policies inspect.
Providers & protocols
Configure the built-in provider catalog, stored Responses, cached content, Realtime transports, and OCR.
Enterprise delivery
Deliver control-plane events through the durable webhook outbox and S3-compatible payload storage.
Benchmark figures above are workload- and environment-specific, not service level guarantees. Review the performance controls and published example results and measure your own workload before setting latency, throughput, or savings targets.
What makes DeepIntShield different
Section titled “What makes DeepIntShield different”Real-time, in-process
In an embedded-runtime deployment, eligible guard evaluation runs in the gateway without a separate guard-runtime RPC. ML detectors can still use a sidecar or separate runtime.
Speculative dispatch
Fire the provider call in parallel with input guards. Allow-path latency becomes
max(guards, model) instead of guards + model.
Smart caching cuts spend
Warm exact cache hits make no provider, semantic, or guard-runtime call and avoid database, network, and embedding work. A guarded semantic hit gets one current validation before its final governed response is promoted for later exact reuse. Cold and external/model-dependent work retains real latency. Some repetitive chatbot examples show up to 60% cost reduction; safe hit rate determines the result.
Audit workflows
Configured persisted decisions and findings feed local evidence and export workflows. Verify retention, redaction, and export delivery for your controls.
