What is Guardrails AI?
Guardrails AI is a framework for adding structural, type, and quality guarantees to LLM outputs. It validates, corrects, and structures LLM responses to ensure they meet your requirements.
Setup
View your trace
Open the Traces page to see your Guardrails workflow with validation passes, re-ask loops, and LLM calls.
What gets traced
All Guardrails AI operations are auto-instrumented:
- Guard validation passes and failures
- LLM calls with model, tokens, and input/output
- Re-ask loops when validation fails
- Individual validator execution
- Output parsing and correction
Traces appear in the Traces dashboard.
