Lasso Classify / Threat Detection API

  title: Lasso Security Classify / Threat Detection API
  description: >-
    REST API for Lasso Security's GenAI guardrails. The Classify endpoint scores
    LLM prompts and completions for security violations - prompt injection,
    jailbreaks, harmful content, custom policies, and PII - and returns structured
    findings ("deputies") with action levels (BLOCK, WARN, AUTO_MASKING) and
    severity. The Classifix endpoint additionally returns PII-masked messages.
    Endpoints and field names are derived from public integrations (LiteLLM,
    Portkey) and the open-source Lasso MCP Gateway; consult Lasso for the
    authoritative reference.
