PromptShield
Open source LLM gateway with PII detection.
PromptShield launched on May 12, 2026.
What it does
PromptShield is the only fully open-source, self-hosted security gateway for LLM applications. It catches SSNs, emails, credit cards, passwords, and API keys in real time with PII detection. Define security rules without touching code using simple YAML policies, and see exactly what's being blocked with real-time audit trails. Everything runs on Docker Compose in your own infrastructure. No SaaS, no third parties, no data leaving your systems.
Open source LLM gateway with PII and secret detection built in. Runs on your infrastructure. - promptshieldhq/promptshield
PromptShield is an open source LLM security platform. It places a gateway in front of your model traffic to detect secrets and PII, enforce a YAML policy, and emit audit/metrics data. The dashboard provides policy and operational visibility without SDK changes. Note: Only the gateway is required. The detection engine and dashboard are optional. Gateway-only mode includes built-in secret detection (150+ Gitleaks rules), rate limiting, token budgets, and audit logging. Add the engine for PII and injectionfrom github.com

PromptGuardDec 2025 · promptguard.co · ▲3Every other gateway is detect-and-block. You don't get a security grade. You don't get red team in CI. We built the one that does. PromptGuard is a proxy: change your base URL (one line with our SDK, or a few lines without), and every request gets checked for prompt injection, PII leaks, jailbreaks, and abuse. 20+ threat vectors, 39+ PII types. We also ship a red team suite and an autonomous agent that mutates attacks to find bypasses - you get a grade (A-F) and a GitHub Action that runs these tests on every PR. So you see where you're weak before you ship. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic,…
Open-Source Gateway to Stop Tool-Abusing Prompt Injections2025 · archestra.ai · ▲9Hi HN, Matvey, Ildar, Joey, and Dominik here. If you're building LLM agents that use tools, you're probably worried about prompt injection attacks that can hijack those tools. We were too, and found that solutions like prompt-based filtering or secondary "guard" LLMs can be unreliable. Our thesis is that agent security should be handled at the network level between the agent and the LLM, just like a traditional web application firewall. So we built Archestra Platform: an open-source gateway that acts as a secure proxy for your AI agents. It's designed to be a deterministic firewall against…

Talanoa▲343Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
