Prompt Injection Guard

Someone has already typed “ignore all previous instructions” into your chatbot. This tool scans user messages for the attack patterns your system needs to catch — identity overrides, jailbreaks, system prompt extraction — before they reach the model.

Injection Guard Tester

5 regex patterns from src/api.py — scanned on every request before the RAG chain runs.

Safe examples

Injection attempts

Guard patterns

ignore previous instructions

Classic prompt injection attempting to override the system prompt.

ignore\s+(all\s+)?previous\s+instructions
you are now

Attempts to redefine the assistant's identity or role.

you\s+are\s+now
act as

Asks the model to roleplay as a different system without safety constraints.

act\s+as
system prompt

Attempts to extract or reference the hidden system instructions.

system\s+prompt
forget everything

Tries to wipe the model's instruction context.

forget\s+(everything|all)

Patterns run before the RAG chain. A match returns HTTP 400 immediately — the query never reaches ChromaDB or the LLM. Source: shopbot/src/api.py lines 76–87.
