LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents, Anthropic, LiteLLM, Pydantic AI,
Google ADK — I went through 11 frameworks looking for basic runtime
security: injection detection, PII masking, audit trails. None of
them had it.
So I built a monkey-patching layer that intercepts LLM calls and
runs them through guardrails:
import aegis; aegis.init()
Patches whatever frameworks you have installed. ~2.6ms overhead.
The nastiest find: streaming responses skip middleware entirely.
Content leaks before any check runs. I wrote a streaming engine
that auto-selects between windowed scanning and full buffering
depending on what the guardrail needs — PII like "078-05-1120"
can split across chunks, so regex won't catch it without the
full buffer.
