Agentic AI Governance

"""Guardrails: checking inputs, tool calls, and outputs

Guardrails are checks placed around an agent:
  * Input guardrails: block or flag risky requests (for example, prompt injection).
  * Tool guardrails: allow only approved tools and safe arguments.
  * Output guardrails: remove sensitive data before anything leaves the system.

Illustrative: simple patterns like these catch obvious cases only. Production
systems layer several defenses (classifiers, permissions, sandboxing, review).
