create_guardrail#
- Bedrock.Client.create_guardrail(**kwargs)#
Creates a guardrail to block topics and to implement safeguards for your generative AI applications.
You can configure the following policies in a guardrail to avoid undesirable and harmful content, filter out denied topics and words, and remove sensitive information for privacy protection.
Content filters - Adjust filter strengths to block input prompts or model responses containing harmful content.
Denied topics - Define a set of topics that are undesirable in the context of your application. These topics will be blocked if detected in user queries or model responses.
Word filters - Configure filters to block undesirable words, phrases, and profanity. Such words can include offensive terms, competitor names etc.
Sensitive information filters - Block or mask sensitive information such as personally identifiable information (PII) or custom regex in user inputs and model responses.
In addition to the above policies, you can also configure the messages to be returned to the user if a user input or model response is in violation of the policies defined in the guardrail.
For more information, see Amazon Bedrock Guardrails in the Amazon Bedrock User Guide.

- Parameters:
name (string) –
[REQUIRED]
The name to give the guardrail.
description (string) – A description of the guardrail.
topicPolicyConfig (dict) –
The topic policies to configure for the guardrail.
topicsConfig (list) – [REQUIRED]
A list of policies related to topics that the guardrail should deny.
(dict) –
Details about topics for the guardrail to identify and deny.
name (string) – [REQUIRED]
The name of the topic to deny.
definition (string) – [REQUIRED]
A definition of the topic to deny.
examples (list) –
A list of prompts, each of which is an example of a prompt that can be categorized as belonging to the topic.
(string) –
type (string) – [REQUIRED]
Specifies to deny the topic.
contentPolicyConfig (dict) –
The content filter policies to configure for the guardrail.
filtersConfig (list) – [REQUIRED]
Contains the type of the content filter and how strongly it should apply to prompts and model responses.
(dict) –
Contains filter strengths for harmful content. Guardrails support the following content filters to detect and filter harmful user inputs and FM-generated outputs.
Hate – Describes language or a statement that discriminates, criticizes, insults, denounces, or dehumanizes a person or group on the basis of an identity (such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ability, and national origin).
Insults – Describes language or a statement that includes demeaning, humiliating, mocking, insulting, or belittling language. This type of language is also labeled as bullying.
Sexual – Describes language or a statement that indicates sexual interest, activity, or arousal using direct or indirect references to body parts, physical traits, or sex.
Violence – Describes language or a statement that includes glorification of or threats to inflict physical pain, hurt, or injury toward a person, group or thing.
Content filtering depends on the confidence classification of user inputs and FM responses across each of the four harmful categories. All input and output statements are classified into one of four confidence levels (NONE, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH) for each harmful category. For example, if a statement is classified as Hate with HIGH confidence, the likelihood of the statement representing hateful content is high. A single statement can be classified across multiple categories with varying confidence levels. For example, a single statement can be classified as Hate with HIGH confidence, Insults with LOW confidence, Sexual with NONE confidence, and Violence with MEDIUM confidence.
For more information, see Guardrails content filters.
type (string) – [REQUIRED]
The harmful category that the content filter is applied to.
inputStrength (string) – [REQUIRED]
The strength of the content filter to apply to prompts. As you increase the filter strength, the likelihood of filtering harmful content increases and the probability of seeing harmful content in your application reduces.
outputStrength (string) – [REQUIRED]
The strength of the content filter to apply to model responses. As you increase the filter strength, the likelihood of filtering harmful content increases and the probability of seeing harmful content in your application reduces.
