POST/api/v1/guardrails/generate

Generate guardrails from intent

Takes a natural-language safety intent (e.g., "Don't reveal customer SSNs") and synthesizes a guardrail rule set (firewall patterns + scorer thresholds + denylists). Generated rules require human review before deploy.

Authentication

Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY on every request. Generate API keys at /dashboard/api-keys.
