Enable Straikerv3.14+
Enable the Straiker plugin on a Route or Service that already has AI Proxy or AI Proxy Advanced configured.
This configuration enforces blocking decisions and fails open if the Straiker Defend pre-call webhook is unreachable, so chat traffic keeps flowing during a Straiker outage.
Post-call (response) evaluation always fails open, regardless of fail_open, so a real model answer is never withheld because the webhook was down.
Set block to false to evaluate and log traffic without blocking it.
Prerequisites
-
The Straiker plugin is installed.
-
AI Proxy or AI Proxy Advanced is configured on the same Service or Route.
-
A Straiker Defend API key. Contact your Straiker team for enterprise API keys and sandbox access.
