What is an AI guardrails?
AI guardrails are the rules and checks that keep an AI system safe and on-task: limits on topics and actions, validation of outputs, protection of personal data, and automatic escalation to a person in defined situations.

Guardrails can be instructions to the model, code that checks outputs before they're sent, permission limits on tools, or human approval steps.
They are essential for customer-facing agents and for any action that changes data or money.
Examples
- Never quote prices not in the catalogue
- Require approval before issuing refunds
