Prompt injection and PII detection in one API call.

Prompt injection

Instructions planted in text to take control of an agent, such as a line in a web page the agent retrieved or a field in a tool result. The scan returns a verdict of allow, flag, or block, a score from 0 to 1, and a reason code. It runs the same detector that screens traffic through Gate's Pro gateway.

PII

Email addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, passport numbers, dates of birth, and IP addresses.

PHI

Medical record numbers, National Provider Identifiers, and ICD-10 diagnosis codes.

Credentials

Keys, tokens, and connection strings for 12 services, including AWS, OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub, and Stripe. It also finds private keys, JSON Web Tokens, database connection strings with embedded passwords, and high-entropy secrets that match no known format.

What happens next

Your code decides whether to block the text, store the redacted copy, or let it through.

All values from the per-dataset table of arXiv:2606.02959. The 4 datasets are deepset, gentel-jailbreaking, gentel-goal-hijacking, and gentel-prompt-leaking.

Stored text

By default Gate stores the submitted text for your workspace's retention period (90 days unless you change it) so you can review each scan in the dashboard. Set store_input to false and Gate stores no submitted text. It keeps a SHA-256 hash of the submission, its token counts, the findings (labels and offsets, never the matched text), and the cost. A batch item's queued copy is deleted when the item finishes.

Dashboard record

Every scan appears in Messages next to your other Gate traffic, with its findings, its cost, and whether it arrived through the API, a batch job, or MCP.

Audit trail

Each scan writes an entry to Gate's audit trail with its categories, verdict, and number of findings. Audit entries hold no submitted text, carry integrity proofs, and are kept permanently.

Detector outages

If the prompt injection detector is unavailable, the API returns a 503 error instead of a result. If the entity detection service is unavailable, Gate falls back to its built-in pattern rules and marks the response entities.degraded: true. Your code decides whether to retry, hold the text, or let it through.

• Each scanned item bills at least 512 tokens.
• Injection and entity detection together bill both rates on the same tokens.

Scanning 10,000 documents of 2,000 tokens each for injection and entity detection costs $30.00.

  }'

Sensitivity

Choose strict, balanced, or permissive to set how readily the injection detector flags borderline text. Balanced is the default.

Batch

Submit many items as one job and collect the results when it finishes. Use it to check a set of documents before they go into a search index.

MCP

Add Gate's hosted MCP server to an agent by URL, and the agent can check content before it acts on it. By default the tool returns findings without repeating the text back to the agent.

Every model call

To screen every request your agents send to a model, put Gate's gateway in front of them. On the Pro plan it runs the same detectors on every request.
