Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://shield.vainplex.dev/api/cdp/check/promptWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to screen untrusted user-supplied text before passing it to an LLM or acting on it — especially in agentic pipelines where prompt injection could cause an AI to take unauthorized actions. Prefer this over general-purpose content filters when your primary concern is adversarial prompt patterns and AI-specific policy risks rather than general harmful content.
Side effects
- Missing required 'prompt' query parameter returns a validation error
- Empty or whitespace-only prompt may return an indeterminate result
- Very long prompts may be truncated or rejected
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout if the service is unavailable
