llm_tool_inspection

Inspect tool definitions and tool calls with an LLM to detect manipulation.

Sends tool definitions and optionally tool call arguments/results to an inspector LLM. The inspector evaluates them against a user-provided policy and returns allow/block.

Use this to detect prompt injection hidden in tool descriptions, data exfiltration via tool call arguments, or tool descriptions that redirect model behavior.

Configuration

Field	Type	Default	Description
prompt	`string	null`	""
on_violation	string	"block"	Action to take when a violation is detected.
on_error	string	"allow"	Action to take when the inspection fails.
inspector_model	`string	null`	None
include_tool_calls	boolean	True	Include tool call arguments and results from the conversation.
max_chars	integer	8000	Maximum characters of tool data to send to the inspector.

Examples
