AI Semantic Prompt Guard: Allow and deny messages - Plugin

Allow and deny messagesv3.8+

Allow messages about a topic as long as they don’t contain information about another topic.

For example, only allow questions about DevOps that aren’t related to exploiting vulnerabilities. Topics on the deny list take precedence over the allowed topics.

For a detailed walkthrough, see Use AI Semantic Prompt Guard plugin to govern your LLM traffic.

Prerequisites

AI Proxy plugin or AI Proxy Advanced plugin configured with an LLM service.
A Redis instance.
Port 6379, or your custom Redis port is open and reachable from Kong Gateway.

Environment variables

OPENAI_API_KEY: Your OpenAI API key
REDIS_HOST: The host where your Redis instance runs

}

provider "konnect" {

  server_url            = "https://us.api.konghq.com/"
}

Add the following to your Terraform configuration to create a Konnect Gateway Plugin:
