This page no longer configures a guardrails service endpoint or organization mandates. The current default text tells operators and members that it does both.

Reject duplicate destination keys before object reconstruction.
Both rename paths permit to to match an existing key. Object.fromEntries then collapses the duplicate keys.
For example, renaming a to b in {"a": 1, "b": 2} silently discards one value. A later save persists the damaged guardrail configuration.
Keep the original key until the destination is unique. Show a validation error for the collision. Apply the same validation in MapRows and FlagRows.

Reset the editor view when the field suggestion changes. The wrapper is keyed only by spec.name, so a guardrailName change or same-name spec change can preserve GuardrailJsonField and its "fields" state. If the new suggestion is absent and the current value has no detectable shape, kind becomes undefined, which hides the selector while the stale fields view shows only the warning. The operator cannot switch to JSON.

Surface toggle update failures in StatusCell.
Toggle is controlled by guardrail.enabled, so a rejected update returns it to the cached value. The guardrail endpoint rejects a stale expected_updated_at with 412, and apiFetch rejects transport or server failures. useUpdateGuardrailDefinition invalidates the definitions query only in onSuccess, while StatusCell never renders update.error.
The operator therefore sees the previous cached status with no explanation. After a stale write, that cached status can also differ from the server until a refetch. This is a localized usability and correctness issue with a reload workaround, not a major availability failure. Render a concise error beside the toggle.
🛠️ Proposed fix: surface the mutation error in the cell
function StatusCell({ guardrail }: { guardrail: StoredGuardrail }) {
const update = useUpdateGuardrailDefinition()

The catalog offers every guardrail whose backend is a hosted API, and the runner builds each one. Azure Content Safety had no client package, so listing it and building it disagreed: the form failed after the operator had typed a credential into it. Take one extra per guardrail that speaks over a vendor SDK. Three of the four resolve to packages already in the tree, arriving with any-llm-sdk, and are named anyway: arriving through somebody else's extra is not a dependency. Only Azure installs anything new, two pure-Python packages and no model backend. The local-model extras stay out. No guardrail behind them is in this catalog, so taking one would put model weights in a process that never loads them. Refs #1245 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>
The gateway can build and run a guardrail in its own process, and stores the credentials for one in the database. Nothing in the dashboard reached either route. Add the types and the six hooks that do: the catalog of guardrails this build can construct, the stored definitions, and create, update, delete and test over them. Every route is operator-gated, so each read takes `enabled` rather than firing and catching the 403. Two query keys, not one. The catalog is a fact about the installed packages and moves only on a redeploy; a definition moves on every write. Refs #1245 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>
A form that picks a guardrail needs three answers, and none of them is written down here. Which jobs exist, and which guardrails do each one. What a guardrail's JSON argument accepts, since the catalog types it as `json` and stops. Which of its fields an operator must decide, so the rest can be folded away. Take all three from any-guardrail. Jobs come from `categories`, the same grouping `AnyGuardrail.group_by` publishes, so a guardrail appears under every job it carries rather than only its headline one. A guardrail is offered for a job only when the form can configure it for that job. Offering one it cannot set up sends the operator to a vendor console to find a key name the catalog never names. The keys behind a `json` argument are read from each vendor's own documentation, because upstream does not enumerate them. That registry is the one place in this feature that carries vendor names. Refs #1245 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>
A guardrail's richest argument is the one the catalog types as `json`, which left the operator writing a dict by hand into a textarea. Alinia's detections, watsonx's detectors and Patronus's evaluators are all that shape. Render each as switches, key-value rows or a list, with a tab back to the raw JSON. The value stays a JSON string throughout, so the two views never disagree, and a value the controls cannot represent refuses the control view rather than being rewritten. Help text comes from the Python docstring behind each parameter and arrived with its reStructuredText markup intact, showing ``all_pass`` to the operator. Render it instead, and cut it to its first sentence, counting the sentence break outside literals so a period inside an example cannot split it. Refs #1245 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>
The guardrails screen offered a URL for a sidecar service and a card mandating a profile it could not create. An operator had no way to make the profile a mandate names, and the gateway can now run the guardrail itself. Replace the screen with a page shaped like Providers: a table of stored definitions, and a dialog that asks three questions in the order an operator decides them. Pick the job. Pick a guardrail that does it. Fill that guardrail's own fields. A row's name is the profile a caller sends. The fields an operator must decide stay visible and the rest fold into one accordion, so watsonx's API key is on screen while Alinia's output options are not. A field counts as a decision when it is required, is a secret, belongs to a credential group, or has a known set of values. Editing cannot change the guardrail class, since every stored argument belongs to it, and a blank secret on an edit sends the mask rather than nothing: a PATCH replaces the whole map, so omitting a key deletes it. The sidecar screen, the mandate card and the profile picker go with it, along with the catalog hook nothing reads any more. Refs #1245 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>
Say what the page does, what the three stages ask, and that a stored name is the profile a request sends. Correct the claim that Azure Content Safety needs no extra package. It does, and taking it is what made the catalog's offer honest. Closes #1245 Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>

Description
#1211 gave Otari a place to store a guardrail definition and #1244 taught it to build one at
startup. Neither could be reached from a browser: the only interface was
curl, and theguardrails screen still offered a URL field for a separate guardrails service and the
organization mandates over it.
Tools → Guardrails is now a page of its own, shaped like the providers page, because it is
the same kind of thing: a list of credentialed entries an operator adds, edits, tests and
removes. A row shows the profile a request names, the guardrail behind it and who publishes
it, every check it performs, and whether it is running.
Adding one asks in the order the decision is actually made. What do you want checked, in
plain words. Then which guardrail does that job, each named with its vendor. Then its
own fields, typed from the catalog, with the detection you asked for already switched on.
The old screen's two other halves are gone rather than moved.
guardrails_urlconfigures aservice this page no longer talks about and stays a config-file setting; organization mandates
were removed so nothing here is about a second service.
Nothing about the taxonomy is written down
The list of operations, which guardrails do each one, and their order are read from
GET /tool-settings/guardrails/catalog, which publishes any-guardrail's own metadata. Acategory upstream adds appears here with no change.
Two decisions the derivation does not make alone, both settled upstream. It reads
categoriesrather than
primary_category, becauseAnyGuardrail.group_by("category")documents that aguardrail appears under every value it carries; reading the headline would hide Alinia,
Patronus and watsonx from prompt injection although all three detect it. And it sorts, which is
what
group_byreturns.A guardrail is offered for a job only when it can be set up for it. Alinia and Patronus
both declare personal data and nothing readable names the detection that does it, so they are
not offered there. watsonx Guardian is, although its metadata lists no
piicategory, becauseit documents a
piidetector: a key that is documented is better evidence than a category thatis missing.
The JSON arguments
Eleven of a guardrail's arguments are typed
json, and each was a textarea to fill withbraces. Alinia cannot run without one, so defining Alinia meant knowing its detection
vocabulary by heart.
Each now gets controls with a Fields / JSON switch: named switches, named presets, key and
value rows, or a list of text. Upstream's own
ParameterType.JSONdocstring calls it "the notflat-form-able, use a JSON editor signal", so nothing published says whether a field is a list
of sentences or a map of switches, let alone what its keys are. That vocabulary is therefore
written down in
guardrailFieldSuggestions.ts, read from any-guardrail's constructordocstrings and reference pages, with anything only implied left out. It is the same trade
providerCredentialFields.tsalready makes forclient_args.Three things keep a list that will go stale from costing anything. It is a suggestion and never
a whitelist, so a key this build has never heard of renders under its own name and a new one
can be typed in. The JSON view accepts anything. And a value the controls cannot hold, a
detection config given as a registered id, is refused by the Fields view rather than rewritten.
Only what must be decided
A form is four tests away from asking twelve questions when there are two. A field is shown
when it has no default, or is a credential, or is named by a one-of requirement group,
or is what the guardrail actually checks.
requiredalone answers none of this: nothing onwatsonx Guardian is required, because its credentials sit in requirement groups. Everything
else, the per-call arguments and the escape hatch included, is behind one Advanced settings
accordion at the foot of the dialog, which opens itself if a field it hides has a message.
One fix outside the dashboard
Testing a stored Azure Content Safety definition failed with "azure-ai-contentsafety package is
not installed": the catalog offered a guardrail this image could not build.
pyproject.tomlnow names the four extras for the guardrails that speak over a vendor SDK. Only
azure-content-safetyinstalls anything, two pure-Python packages, and the locked set goesfrom 234 to 236 with nothing removed. The other three are named because
boto3andibm-watsonx-aiwere reaching Bedrock and watsonx throughany-llm-sdk[all], which is acoincidence rather than a dependency: any-llm narrowing that extra would break both at runtime
with the same ImportError and nothing would warn first.

routeTree.gen.tscomes back unchanged.PR Type
Relevant issues
Closes #1245. Builds on #1211 and #1244. Supersedes #1114, whose draft PR #1137 targeted the
superseded #1116/#1120 stack and should be closed with it.
Checklist
tests/unit,tests/integration).make lint,make typecheck,make test).uv run python scripts/generate_openapi.py).Two notes on that list. The change is almost entirely in
web/, so its tests are the dashboardsuites rather than
tests/unitandtests/integration; the one backend commit is a dependencybump with no code behind it. And the API contract did not change: every endpoint consumed here
arrived with #1211 and #1244.
Things reviewers should know
Three deletions worth a look.
OrganizationGuardrailsCardandGuardrailProfileFieldareremoved rather than moved, so organization mandates have no UI on this branch.
GuardrailParametersSectionlost its last caller when the accordion absorbed it. AnduseGuardrailProfileswith three helpers went with them, so the dashboard no longer reads thesidecar's profile catalog at all. The endpoints are untouched; only the unused clients are.
AnyLlm is not selectable. The last commit drops
general_judgefrom the list of jobs onthe grounds that it is not a subject to detect, and AnyLlm declares nothing else. Deliberate,
stated in that commit, and a one-line revert.
The OSS smoke gate fails locally, at
otari migrate, with an empty error message. Ichecked out the base and it fails identically, so it is not from this branch, but CI runs it on
any dependency change and this branch has one. Worth knowing before reading that job's result.
Two follow-ups, unfiled. Feeding these profile names into a mandate picker, and asking
any-guardrail to publish enumerated keys for a
jsonparameter, which would shrink the writtenvocabulary and close the Alinia PII gap properly.

Any additional AI details you'd like to share:
The plan was reviewed and approved before implementation. Several decisions were the author's
rather than the model's: building fresh instead of reviving #1137, removing the sidecar and
mandate cards from this screen, reshaping it after the providers page, accepting a written
vocabulary for the JSON fields, and dropping the general-judge group.
Three things the model got wrong and had to be told: splitting required from advanced on the
requiredflag alone, which put watsonx Guardian's whole configuration behind the accordion;passing Python docstring markup into the UI so the form rendered stray double backticks; and
offering a guardrail for a job it could not be configured for, which the reviewer found by
selecting personal data and reaching a dead end.

The change is frontend-focused. It uses the existing guardrail credential APIs and catalog data without adding migrations or API schema changes.
