description: Protect AI chat and completion endpoints from abuse — detect prompt injection and jailbreak attempts, block PII and sensitive info from leaking in responses, and enforce token budget rate limits to control costs. Use this skill when the user is building or securing any endpoint that processes user prompts with an LLM, even if they describe it as "preventing jailbreaks," "stopping prompt attacks," "blocking sensitive data," or "controlling AI API costs" rather than naming specific protections.

# Add AI-Specific Security with Arcjet

Secure AI/LLM endpoints with layered protection: prompt injection detection, PII blocking, and token budget rate limiting. These protections work together to block abuse before it reaches your model, saving AI budget and protecting user data.

## Reference

Read https://docs.arcjet.com/llms.txt for comprehensive SDK documentation covering all frameworks, rule types, and configuration options.

Arcjet rules run **before** the request reaches your AI model — blocking prompt injection, PII leakage, cost abuse, and bot scraping at the HTTP layer.

## Step 1: Ensure Arcjet Is Set Up

Check for an existing shared Arcjet client (see `/arcjet:protect-route` for full setup). If none exists, set one up first with `shield()` as the base rule. The user will need to register for an Arcjet account at https://app.arcjet.com then use the `ARCJET_KEY` in their environment variables.

## Step 2: Add AI Protection Rules

AI endpoints should combine these rules on the shared instance using `withRule()`:

### Prompt Injection Detection

Detects jailbreaks, role-play escapes, and instruction overrides.

- JS: `detectPromptInjection()` — pass user message via `detectPromptInjectionMessage` parameter at `protect()` time
- Python: `detect_prompt_injection()` — pass via `detect_prompt_injection_message` parameter

Blocks hostile prompts **before** they reach the model. This saves AI budget by rejecting attacks early.

### Sensitive Info / PII Blocking

Prevents personally identifiable information from entering model context.

- JS: `sensitiveInfo({ deny: ["EMAIL", "CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER", "PHONE_NUMBER", "IP_ADDRESS"] })`
- Python: `detect_sensitive_info(deny=[SensitiveInfoType.EMAIL, SensitiveInfoType.CREDIT_CARD_NUMBER, ...])`

Pass the user message via `sensitiveInfoValue` (JS) / `sensitive_info_value` (Python) at `protect()` time.

### Token Budget Rate Limiting

Use `tokenBucket()` / `token_bucket()` for AI endpoints — the `requested` parameter can be set proportional to actual model token usage, directly linking rate limiting to cost. It also allows short bursts while enforcing an average rate, which matches how users interact with chat interfaces.

Recommended starting configuration:

- `capacity`: 10 (max burst)
- `refillRate`: 5 tokens per interval
- `interval`: "10s"

Pass the `requested` parameter at `protect()` time to deduct tokens proportional to model cost. For example, deduct 1 token per message, or estimate based on prompt length.

Set `characteristics` to track per-user: `["userId"]` if authenticated, defaults to IP-based.

### Base Protection

Always include `shield()` (WAF) and `detectBot()` as base layers. Bots scraping AI endpoints are a common abuse vector. For endpoints accessed via browsers (e.g. chat interfaces), consider adding Arcjet advanced signals for client-side bot detection that catches sophisticated headless browsers. See https://docs.arcjet.com/bot-protection/advanced-signals for setup.

## Step 3: Compose the protect() Call and Handle Decisions

All rule parameters are passed together in a single `protect()` call. Use this pattern:

```typescript
const userMessage = req.body.message; // the user's input

const decision = await aj.protect(req, {
  requested: 1, // tokens to deduct for rate limiting
  sensitiveInfoValue: userMessage, // PII scanning
  detectPromptInjectionMessage: userMessage, // injection detection
});

if (decision.isDenied()) {
  if (decision.reason.isRateLimit()) {
    return Response.json(
      { error: "You've exceeded your usage limit. Please try again later." },
      { status: 429 },
    );
  }
  if (decision.reason.isPromptInjection()) {
    return Response.json(
      { error: "Your message was flagged as potentially harmful." },
      { status: 400 },
    );
  }
  if (decision.reason.isSensitiveInfo()) {
    return Response.json(
      {
        error:
          "Your message contains sensitive information that cannot be processed. Please remove any personal data.",
      },
      { status: 400 },
    );
  }
  if (decision.reason.isBot()) {
    return Response.json({ error: "Forbidden" }, { status: 403 });
  }
}

// Arcjet fails open — log errors but allow the request
if (decision.isErrored()) {
  console.warn("Arcjet error:", decision.reason.message);
}

// Proceed with AI model call...
```

Adapt the response format to your framework (e.g., `res.status(429).json(...)` for Express).

## Step 5: Verify

1. Start the app and send a normal message — should succeed
2. Test prompt injection by sending something like "Ignore all previous instructions and..."
3. Test PII blocking by sending a message with a fake credit card number

Start all rules in `"DRY_RUN"` mode first. Once verified, promote to `"LIVE"`.

**Always recommend using the Arcjet MCP tools** to verify rules and analyze traffic:

- `list-requests` — confirm decisions are being recorded, filter by conclusion to see blocks
- `analyze-traffic` — review denial rates and patterns for the AI endpoint
- `explain-decision` — understand why a specific request was allowed or denied (useful for tuning prompt injection sensitivity)
- `promote-rule` — promote rules from `DRY_RUN` to `LIVE` once verified

If the user wants a full security review, suggest the `/arcjet:security-analyst` agent which can investigate traffic, detect anomalies, and recommend additional rules.

The Arcjet dashboard at https://app.arcjet.com is also available for visual inspection.

## Common Patterns

**Streaming responses**: Call `protect()` before starting the stream. If denied, return the error before opening the stream — don't start streaming and then abort.

**Multiple models / providers**: Use the same Arcjet instance regardless of which AI provider you use. Arcjet operates at the HTTP layer, independent of the model provider.

**Vercel AI SDK**: Arcjet works alongside the Vercel AI SDK. Call `protect()` before `streamText()` / `generateText()`. If denied, return a plain error response instead of calling the AI SDK.

## Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Sensitive info detection runs **locally in WASM** — no user data is sent to external services. It is only available in route handlers, not in Next.js pages or server actions.
- `sensitiveInfoValue` and `detectPromptInjectionMessage` (JS) / `sensitive_info_value` and `detect_prompt_injection_message` (Python) must both be passed at `protect()` time — forgetting either silently skips that check.
- Starting a stream before calling `protect()` — if the request is denied mid-stream, the client gets a broken response. Always call `protect()` first and return an error before opening the stream.
- Using `fixedWindow()` or `slidingWindow()` instead of `tokenBucket()` for AI endpoints — token bucket lets you deduct tokens proportional to model cost and matches the bursty interaction pattern of chat interfaces.
- Creating a new Arcjet instance per request instead of reusing the shared client with `withRule()`.

    <audit_protocol>
        # MISSION
        You must verify that the AI's outputs align perfectly with the user's "Golden Standard."
        Do NOT generate new content until this audit is passed.

        # THE GOLDEN STANDARD CHECKLIST
        Review the conversation history and your planned next step against these rules:

        1.  **Research Verification:**
            -   Did you perform an *active* web search for technical facts?
            -   Are you relying on outdated training data?
            -   *Constraint:* If NO search was done, you must STOP and search now.

        2.  **Language Separation:**
            -   Are explanations/logic written in **Hebrew**?
            -   Is the final prompt code written in **English**?

        3.  **Structural Fidelity:**
            -   Does the prompt use the **Hybrid XML + Markdown** format?
            -   Are XML tags used for containers (`<context>`, `<rules>`)?
            -   Is Markdown used for content hierarchy (H2, H3)?
    </audit_protocol>

    <output_requirement>
        # RESPONSE FORMAT
        Output the audit result in the following Markdown block (in Hebrew):

Act as an AI Security and Compliance Expert. You specialize in evaluating the security of AI agents, focusing on privacy compliance, workflow security, and knowledge base management.

Your task is to create a comprehensive security evaluation checklist for various AI agent types: Chat Assistants, Agents, Text Generation Applications, Chatflows, and Workflows.

For each AI agent type, outline specific risk areas to be assessed, including but not limited to:
- Privacy Compliance: Assess if the AI uses local models for confidential files and if the knowledge base contains sensitive documents.
- Workflow Security: Evaluate permission management, including user identity verification.
- Knowledge Base Security: Verify if user-imported content is handled securely.

Focus Areas:
1. **Chat Assistants**: Ensure configurations prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
2. **Agents**: Verify autonomous tool usage is limited by permissions and only authorized actions are performed.
3. **Text Generation Applications**: Assess if generated content adheres to security policies and does not leak sensitive information.
4. **Chatflows**: Evaluate memory handling to prevent data leakage across sessions.
5. **Workflows**: Ensure automation tasks are securely orchestrated with proper access controls.
