Prompt Shield

prompt_shield
Read-onlyIdempotent

Detection and analysis of prompt injection, jailbreak, and policy-bypass attempts. Returns an injection risk score, a safe/review/block recommendation, attack indicators, and a safe rewritten version when available. Required arguments: prompt.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
_refNoOptional handover referral ID from your install link.
modeNo'fast' = pattern scan only (default), 'deep' = pattern + Groq semantic analysis
emailNoZambo Pass email for unlimited calls (optional)
promptYesThe user input or prompt to validate for injection/jailbreak (max 16K chars)
systemNoYour system prompt - also scanned for prompt leak attempts (optional)
contextNoDescribe your app for better contextual analysis (optional)
_zambo_keyNoOptional opaque Zambo access capability. Never place it in a URL or public log.
_session_idNoOptional stable bot-job ID. Reuse it across calls to bind a Day Pass and keep the job ledger together.
certificateNoIf true, freeze this scan as a permanent public certificate and return certificate_url (optional)
_caller_labelNoOptional caller label recorded as a caller-reported claim in the receipt.zambo-starter
_caller_handleNoOpaque anonymous continuity handle returned during initialize. Reuse it across MCP sessions; it is not payment authorization.
_continuity_ai_labelNoOptional self-reported AI client label for the private continuity timeline. Zambo does not independently verify the client.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description's enumeration of return fields (risk score, safe/review/block recommendation, indicators, rewritten prompt) is genuine but somewhat redundant given an output schema exists, and it says nothing about latency or depth trade-offs between fast and deep modes.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose and then outputs, with no filler. The closing 'Required arguments: prompt' is the one sentence that fails to earn its place, since the schema already marks prompt as required.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 12-parameter tool with authentication, continuity handles, and a certificate option that freezes a permanent public record, the description covers only the core scanning purpose. It omits the notable side effect of certificate=true and the unlimited-call/auth path exposed by the email parameter, though the output schema and full parameter coverage soften the gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so every one of the 12 parameters already carries its own explanation, and the description's 'Required arguments: prompt' merely restates what the schema marks required. It adds no syntax, format, or semantic detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb and resource - detection and analysis of prompt injection, jailbreak, and policy-bypass attempts - which tells an agent exactly what the tool is for. No sibling tool in the list overlaps this function, so no differentiation is required and none is missing.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied: an agent can infer it should screen untrusted user input before acting on it. The description never states when to prefer 'deep' over the default 'fast' mode, nor any when-not condition or prerequisite, leaving the caller to guess at the intended workflow.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
