-
-This example shows how to write a Python NeMo Relay plugin that calls the NeMo
-Guardrails Python API.
-
-
-This page documents the older external Python example plugin. For the built-in
-first-party `nemo_guardrails` component, see
-[NeMo Guardrails Plugin](/nemo-guardrails-plugin/about).
-
-
-
-The example lives under `examples/nemoguardrails`. The single-file plugin
-implementation, runnable agent, and Guardrails config artifacts are under
-`example`.
-It is not part of the
-`nemo_relay` Python package, and NeMo Relay does not depend on `nemoguardrails`.
-Applications that use the example install NeMo Guardrails in their own
-environment and import or vendor the example plugin.
-
-## Install
-
-Install NeMo Relay normally, then install NeMo Guardrails in the application or
-example environment that activates the plugin:
-
-```bash
-pip install nemoguardrails
-```
-
-The bundled example config uses NeMo Guardrails' `nvidia_ai_endpoints` model
-engine. Install the NVIDIA LangChain provider when you want to run that config
-as-is:
-
-```bash
-pip install langchain-nvidia-ai-endpoints
-```
-
-## Configure
-
-Guardrails stay in native NeMo Guardrails config. Point the plugin at a
-Guardrails config directory, or pass inline YAML content.
-
-```python
-import asyncio
-
-import nemo_relay
-import plugin as nemoguardrails_plugin
-
-async def main() -> None:
- nemoguardrails_plugin.register()
- try:
- config = nemo_relay.plugin.PluginConfig(
- components=[
- nemo_relay.plugin.ComponentSpec(
- kind=nemoguardrails_plugin.DEFAULT_KIND,
- config={
- "config_path": "./rails",
- "codec": "openai_chat",
- },
- )
- ]
- )
- await nemo_relay.plugin.initialize(config)
- finally:
- nemo_relay.plugin.clear()
- nemoguardrails_plugin.deregister()
-
-asyncio.run(main())
-```
-
-The `config_path` directory is a normal NeMo Guardrails config directory. For
-example:
-
-```yaml
-# rails/config.yml
-models:
- - type: main
- engine: nvidia_ai_endpoints
- model: meta/llama-3.1-8b-instruct
-
-rails:
- input:
- flows:
- - self check input
- output:
- flows:
- - self check output
-
-prompts:
- - task: self_check_input
- content: |-
- You are checking whether a NeMo Relay request should be allowed.
- The input may be plain user text or a JSON object with tool_name and
- arguments fields.
- User input: {{ user_input }}
- Should this request be blocked? Answer only Yes or No.
-
- - task: self_check_output
- content: |-
- You are checking whether a NeMo Relay response should be returned.
- The output may be assistant text or a JSON object with tool_name,
- arguments, and result fields.
- Model output: {{ bot_response }}
- Should this response be blocked? Answer only Yes or No.
-```
-
-The plugin config accepts these fields:
-
-- `config_path`: Path to a NeMo Guardrails config directory.
-- `config_yaml`: Inline NeMo Guardrails YAML config.
-- `colang_content`: Optional inline Colang content. This can only be used with
- `config_yaml`.
-- `codec`: One of `openai_chat`, `openai_responses`, or
- `anthropic_messages`. This is required when `input` or `output` is enabled.
-- `input`: Whether to run input rails around LLM calls. Defaults to `true`.
-- `output`: Whether to run output rails around LLM calls. Defaults to `true`.
-- `tool_input`: Whether to check managed tool arguments before execution.
- Defaults to `false`.
-- `tool_output`: Whether to check managed tool results after execution.
- Defaults to `false`.
-- `priority`: Execution-intercept priority. Defaults to `100`.
-
-Exactly one of `config_path` or `config_yaml` is required.
-
-## Example Agent
-
-The example includes
-[`agent_example.py`](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay/blob/main/examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py), a
-concrete example agent that initializes the plugin, checks a managed
-`tools.execute(...)` call, and checks a managed `llm.execute(...)` call against
-live NVIDIA-hosted inference.
-
-Run it from a checkout where NeMo Relay and NeMo Guardrails are installed. The
-default lane uses a passthrough Guardrails config and the `current_time` tool.
-This is the fastest live validation path because it exercises the real plugin,
-real `nemoguardrails` initialization, tool execution, and LLM execution without
-running model-backed self-check rails:
-
-```bash
-export NVIDIA_API_KEY=""
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py
-```
-
-To run the inline self-check rails example, load
-[`example_config.yml`](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay/blob/main/examples/nemoguardrails/example/example_config.yml)
-from `example` and pass it as inline `config_yaml`:
-
-```bash
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py --guardrails-config inline
-```
-
-The config directory lane uses the bundled
-`examples/nemoguardrails/example/rails/config.yml` by default. It
-contains the same input and output self-check rails as `example/example_config.yml`:
-
-```bash
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py --guardrails-config path
-```
-
-Use `--tool weather` when you want the example to use a weather tool instead
-of the default `current_time` tool:
-
-```bash
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py --tool weather
-```
-
-Pass `--config-path` when you want the example agent to use your own native
-NeMo Guardrails config directory:
-
-```bash
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py \
- --guardrails-config path \
- --config-path ./rails
-```
-
-## Runtime Behavior
-
-For non-streaming `llm.execute(...)` calls, the plugin checks the user input
-before the model call and checks the assistant text after the model call.
-Guardrails can pass, block, or rewrite input. For output, this example supports
-pass and block; modified output raises because NeMo Relay response codecs are
-decode-only and the example does not rewrite provider-shaped responses.
-
-For managed `tools.execute(...)` calls, the plugin can also check serialized
-tool arguments before execution and serialized tool results after execution.
-When Guardrails rewrites tool arguments or results, the rewritten content must
-be valid JSON.
-
-The bundled config uses the same NeMo Guardrails input and output self-check
-rails for both LLM messages and tool payloads. The plugin makes tool calls
-visible to Guardrails by serializing managed tool arguments and results as JSON
-message content.
-
-This behavior changes the real execution path. It is not an observability-only
-sanitize guardrail.
-
-## Supported Codecs
-
-The example is intentionally limited to NeMo Relay's built-in LLM codec shapes:
-
-- `openai_chat` for OpenAI Chat Completions-style requests and responses.
-- `openai_responses` for OpenAI Responses API-style requests and responses.
-- `anthropic_messages` for Anthropic Messages-style requests and responses.
-
-Provider-specific payloads outside those codecs need a NeMo Relay codec and a
-response text replacement strategy before a production plugin can apply
-modified output safely.
-
-## Limitations
-
-This example calls NeMo Guardrails `check_async`, not `generate_async`. It
-checks around NeMo Relay LLM and tool execution calls, but it does not let NeMo
-Guardrails take over generation or agent orchestration.
-
-The example does not support:
-
-- Streaming LLM calls.
-- Dialog rails, retrieval rails, execution rails, or generation rails that
- require NeMo Guardrails to orchestrate the full generation flow.
-- Arbitrary provider payloads beyond the three supported NeMo Relay codecs.
-- Applying modified LLM output back into provider responses.
-- Rewriting tool-call arguments inside model responses before an application
- turns those model tool calls into managed `tools.execute(...)` calls.
-
-Tool checks use serialized JSON and NeMo Guardrails input/output checks. They
-are NeMo Relay tool middleware checks powered by Guardrails, not a full
-`generate_async` agent-loop integration.
-
-`config_path` points at native NeMo Guardrails configuration. Guardrails config
-can load project code such as actions, so treat that path as trusted
-application code.

-# NeMo Guardrails Plugin Example
-
-This directory contains an example Python plugin that uses the NeMo Guardrails
-Python API from NeMo Relay.
-
-It is intentionally outside the `nemo_relay` package. Applications can copy,
-vendor, or package this plugin if they want to use it.
-
-The single-file plugin implementation, runnable agent, and Guardrails config
-artifacts live under `example`.
-
-## What It Shows
-
-- Lazy loading of the optional `nemoguardrails` dependency.
-- Native NeMo Guardrails config loaded from `config_path` or `config_yaml`.
-- A real `example/example_config.yml` with NeMo Guardrails self-check input and
- output rails.
-- Input and output checks around non-streaming `llm.execute(...)` calls.
-- Optional checks around managed `tools.execute(...)` arguments and results.
-- Request and response decoding with NeMo Relay's built-in OpenAI Chat, OpenAI
- Responses, and Anthropic Messages codecs.
-- A concrete example agent that exercises the plugin with a live NVIDIA
- OpenAI-compatible chat request.
-- A fast live validation lane that uses a deterministic `current_time` tool and
- passthrough Guardrails config.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-This example keeps provider response rewriting out of the plugin. Guardrails can
-rewrite LLM input because NeMo Relay request codecs support decode and encode.
-If Guardrails returns modified LLM output, the example raises instead of
-mutating provider-shaped responses.
-
-The example also does not cover streaming calls or a full `generate_async`
-agent-runtime integration. Tool checks use NeMo Relay tool middleware and
-serialized JSON payloads.
-
-## Use It
-
-Install NeMo Guardrails in the environment that runs the application:
-
-```bash
-pip install nemoguardrails
-```
-
-The bundled `example_config.yml` uses NeMo Guardrails'
-`nvidia_ai_endpoints` model engine. To run that config as-is, also install the
-NVIDIA LangChain provider:
-
-```bash
-pip install langchain-nvidia-ai-endpoints
-```
-
-Copy `example/plugin.py` into your application, or import it from this example
-directory when experimenting locally.
-
-Register and initialize the plugin:
-
-```python
-import asyncio
-
-import nemo_relay
-import plugin as nemoguardrails_plugin
-
-
-async def main() -> None:
- nemoguardrails_plugin.register()
- try:
- config = nemo_relay.plugin.PluginConfig(
- components=[
- nemo_relay.plugin.ComponentSpec(
- kind=nemoguardrails_plugin.DEFAULT_KIND,
- config={
- "config_path": "./rails",
- "codec": "openai_chat",
- },
- )
- ]
- )
- await nemo_relay.plugin.initialize(config)
- finally:
- nemo_relay.plugin.clear()
- nemoguardrails_plugin.deregister()
-
-
-asyncio.run(main())
-```
-
-## Run the Example Agent
-
-The `example/agent_example.py` script runs a small agent-like flow: it
-initializes this plugin, runs a managed `tools.execute(...)` call, and sends the
-tool result through a managed `llm.execute(...)` call to NVIDIA-hosted
-inference.
-
-Run it from a checkout where NeMo Relay and NeMo Guardrails are installed. The
-default lane uses a passthrough Guardrails config and the `current_time` tool.
-This is the fastest live validation path because it exercises the real plugin,
-real `nemoguardrails` initialization, tool execution, and LLM execution without
-running model-backed self-check rails:
-
-```bash
-export NVIDIA_API_KEY=""
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py
-```
-
-To run the inline self-check rails example, load `example/example_config.yml`
-as inline `config_yaml`:
-
-```bash
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py --guardrails-config inline
-```
-
-The config directory lane uses the bundled
-`examples/nemoguardrails/example/rails/config.yml` by default. It
-contains the same input and output self-check rails as `example/example_config.yml`:
-
-```bash
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py --guardrails-config path
-```
-
-Use `--tool weather` when you want the example to use the weather tool instead
-of the default `current_time` tool:
-
-```bash
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py --tool weather
-```
-
-Pass `--config-path` when you want the example agent to use your own native
-NeMo Guardrails config directory:
-
-```bash
-python examples/nemoguardrails/example/agent_example.py \
- --guardrails-config path \
- --config-path ./rails
-```
-
-## Tests
-
-The pytest suite injects fake `nemoguardrails` modules into `sys.modules`.
-That lets CI verify the plugin behavior without installing the optional
-NeMo Guardrails dependency.
-
-The script also accepts `NVIDIA_MODEL`, `NVIDIA_BASE_URL`, and
-`NVIDIA_CHAT_COMPLETIONS_URL` for local provider overrides. It also accepts
-`NEMO_GUARDRAILS_CONFIG`, `NEMO_GUARDRAILS_CONFIG_PATH`, and
-`NEMO_GUARDRAILS_TOOL` as environment variable equivalents for the config lane,
-config path, and tool selection.
-
-See [NeMo Guardrails Example Plugin](../../docs/build-plugins/nemoguardrails.mdx)
-for the full configuration and limitation notes.
