* Add PromptGuard guardrail integration
Add PromptGuard as a first-class guardrail vendor in LiteLLM's proxy,
supporting prompt injection detection, PII redaction, topic filtering,
entity blocklists, and hallucination detection via PromptGuard's
/api/v1/guard API endpoint.
Backend:
- Add PROMPTGUARD to SupportedGuardrailIntegrations enum
- Implement PromptGuardGuardrail (CustomGuardrail subclass) with
apply_guardrail handling allow/block/redact decisions
- Add Pydantic config model with api_key, api_base, ui_friendly_name
- Auto-discovered via guardrail_hooks/promptguard/__init__.py registries
Frontend:
- Add PromptGuard partner card to Guardrail Garden with eval scores
- Add preset configuration for quick setup
- Add logo to guardrailLogoMap
Tests:
- 30 unit tests covering configuration, allow/block/redact actions,
request payload construction, error handling, config model, and
registry wiring
* Fix redact path and init ordering per review feedback
- P1: Update structured_messages (not just texts) when PromptGuard
returns a redact decision, so PII redaction is effective for the
primary LLM message path
- P2: Validate credentials before allocating the HTTPX client so
resources aren't acquired if PromptGuardMissingCredentials is raised
- Add tests for structured_messages redaction and texts-only redaction
* Harden PromptGuard integration: fail-open, event hooks, images, docs
- Add block_on_error config (default fail-closed, configurable fail-open)
- Declare supported_event_hooks (pre_call, post_call) like other vendors
- Forward images from GenericGuardrailAPIInputs to PromptGuard API
- Wrap API call in try/except for resilient error handling
- Add comprehensive documentation page with config examples
- Register docs page in sidebar alongside other guardrail providers
- Expand test suite from 32 to 40 tests covering new functionality
* Fix dict[str, Any] -> Dict[str, Any] for Python 3.8 compat
* Address remaining Greptile feedback: timeout, redact guard
- Add explicit 10s timeout to async_handler.post() to prevent
indefinite hangs when PromptGuard API is unresponsive
- Guard redact path: only update inputs["texts"] when the key
was originally present, avoiding phantom key injection
- Add test: redact with structured_messages only does not create
texts key (41 tests total)
* Fix CI lint: black formatting, add PromptGuardConfigModel to LitellmParams
- Reformat promptguard.py to match CI black version (parenthesization)
- Add PromptGuardConfigModel as base class of LitellmParams for proper
Pydantic schema validation, consistent with all other guardrail vendors
- Use litellm_params.block_on_error directly (now a typed field)
* Address Greptile review: redact path, null decision, error context
- P1: Filter _extract_texts_from_messages to user-role messages only,
preventing system/assistant content from being injected into texts
- P1: Strengthen test_redact_updates_structured_messages assertion from
weak `in` check to strict equality, catching the injection bug
- P2: Use `result.get("decision") or "allow"` to handle explicit null
decision values (not just absent keys)
- P2: Wrap bare exception re-raise in GuardrailRaisedException so the
caller knows which guardrail failed (block_on_error=True path)
- P2: Add static Promptguard entry in guardrail_provider_map so the
preset works before populateGuardrailProviderMap is called
- Add test for explicit null decision treated as allow
* Fix black formatting: collapse f-string in error message

How to use LiteLLM
You can use LiteLLM through either the Proxy Server or Python SDK. Both gives you a unified interface to access multiple LLMs (100+ LLMs). Choose the option that best fits your needs:
| LiteLLM AI Gateway | LiteLLM Python SDK | |
|---|---|---|
| Use Case | Central service (LLM Gateway) to access multiple LLMs | Use LiteLLM directly in your Python code |
| Who Uses It? | Gen AI Enablement / ML Platform Teams | Developers building LLM projects |
| Key Features | Centralized API gateway with authentication and authorization, multi-tenant cost tracking and spend management per project/user, per-project customization (logging, guardrails, caching), virtual keys for secure access control, admin dashboard UI for monitoring and management | Direct Python library integration in your codebase, Router with retry/fallback logic across multiple deployments (e.g. Azure/OpenAI) - Router, application-level load balancing and cost tracking, exception handling with OpenAI-compatible errors, observability callbacks (Lunary, MLflow, Langfuse, etc.) |
LiteLLM Performance: 8ms P95 latency at 1k RPS (See benchmarks here)

Verify Docker Image Signatures
All LiteLLM Docker images published to GHCR are signed with cosign. Every release is signed with the same key introduced in commit 0112e53.
Verify using the pinned commit hash (recommended):
A commit hash is cryptographically immutable, so this is the strongest way to ensure you are using the original signing key:
cosign verify \
--key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/0112e53046018d726492c814b3644b7d376029d0/cosign.pub \
ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<release-tag>
Verify using a release tag (convenience):
Tags are protected in this repository and resolve to the same key. This option is easier to read but relies on tag protection rules:
cosign verify \
--key https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/<release-tag>/cosign.pub \
ghcr.io/berriai/litellm:<release-tag>
Replace <release-tag> with the version you are deploying (e.g. v1.83.0-stable).
