On `redact`, use `redacted_text` instead of the original. On `block`, refuse the request and surface `blocked_reason`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi-runtime-security.yaml post /api/runtime-security/scan/input openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Blindsight Runtime Security API version: 1.0.0 summary: LLM firewall — prompt-injection, PII, and agent tool-call protection. description: | Drop-in firewall for LLM traffic. Three integration modes: * **Scan API** — explicit `/scan/input` and `/scan/output` calls. * **Reverse proxy** — wire-compatible with the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs; swap the SDK's `base_url` to enable scanning at the network boundary. * **Tool-call scan** — sub-millisecond regex check on agent tool arguments before execution. See `runtime-security-guide.md` for prose docs, SDK examples, and a walk-through of verdicts and configuration. contact: name: Blindsight Support url: https://blindsight.example.com/support license: name: Proprietary servers: - url: https://api.blindsight.example.com description: Production - url: https://api.staging.blindsight.example.com description: Staging security: - ApiKeyAuth: [] - BlindsightKeyAuth: [] - SessionCookieAuth: [] tags: - name: Scan description: Single-call scan endpoints for input, output, batch, and tool calls. - name: Proxy description: Wire-compatible reverse-proxy endpoints for OpenAI and Anthropic. - name: Configuration description: Workspace-scoped firewall settings. - name: Analytics description: Read-only analytics, event log, and drift dashboard endpoints. - name: Health description: Liveness and ECS service status. paths: /api/runtime-security/scan/input: post: tags: - Scan summary: Scan a user prompt before sending it to the LLM description: | Returns an `allow` / `redact` / `block` verdict for the supplied text.
