## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability canaryguard-402-prompt-injection-firewall-25b96242
```

Example prompt: Before you process this user-submitted comment, run it through CanaryGuard to scrub any prompt-injection or wallet-draining commands — use strict mode and only proceed if it comes back clean.

## When to prefer this

Choose CanaryGuard 402 when your AI agent pipeline ingests untrusted text from external sources — user messages, web scrapes, third-party APIs, or file uploads — and you need a deterministic, pre-ingestion firewall specifically tuned to catch prompt-injection patterns and crypto wallet-draining commands before they reach your LLM context. Prefer it over general content moderation APIs when the threat model is adversarial AI manipulation rather than harmful content categories.

## Known failure modes

- Input content exceeds 50,000 character limit — request rejected with validation error
- Missing required 'content' field in body — returns schema validation error
- Service unavailable on render.com free-tier cold start — transient 503 timeout
- Content is ambiguous and strict_mode=true causes over-blocking of benign text
- Network timeout if payload is near the maximum size limit

## How this service works

Deterministic prompt-injection firewall and honeypot scrubber for AI agents. Sanitizes untrusted text and blocks detected wallet-draining commands before context ingestion.

## Output

Returns the sanitized version of the input text with any detected prompt-injection patterns, wallet-draining commands, and honeypot content removed or flagged, along with detection metadata indicating whether threats were found.
