Standard Entity Rules

Pre-trained detectors for the categories regulations care about

Standard Entity Rules detect sensitive data in tool call arguments, such as emails, SSNs, and credit card numbers. Each entity has a detector and an action.

Configure them at Security → PII detection, grouped into Global sensitive data types and US sensitive data types.

Entity rule settings

Detection methodPattern match, Pattern match and NLP, or Pattern match, NLP and checksum. Pattern entities are precise. NLP entities can fire on ordinary prose.

Entity rules scan only tool arguments. To screen tool results, use an AI Guardrail.

Override for one Tool Pack

On a Tool Pack’s Rules tab, pick an entity and an action. The override wins for that pack. Examples:

  • Block credit cards everywhere, Log them on a finance pack
  • Block government IDs everywhere except the payroll pack

Roll out a rule

  1. Check a sample in the Guardrail tester.
  2. Set the rule to Log for a week and review Violations and alerts.
  3. Switch to Redact or Block.

For identifiers not in the catalog, use Custom Regex Rules.
