Description

#1160, the branch this targets, gave the dashboard a picker. GET /api/v1/tool-settings/guardrails/catalog lists the guardrails any-guardrail reaches over a hosted API and, for each one, the constructor and per-call arguments it takes, which of them are credentials, and which cannot be written down at all.

This is the write target. A guardrail_credentials row names the guardrail, carries the arguments that build and call it, and is itself named by the profile a caller sends. Nothing on the request path reads it yet.

Secrets are one encrypted map, not columns

The ten guardrails do not share a secret shape. For example,bedrock_guardrails takes three secrets in its constructor, watsonx_guardian takes two, and another guardrail we add tomorrow may need four. So the client sends one create_kwargs map and the service splits it by the catalog's own secret flag: the plain half is stored as it is, and every secret goes into a single {name: value} map encrypted as one string. That needs no per-guardrail knowledge here.

Five rules, none of them a list kept in this repository

  1. guardrail_name must be one build_builtin_guardrail_catalog() lists.
  2. Every submitted argument name must appear in that guardrail's specs.
  3. A storable=False argument is refused.
  4. A required=True constructor argument that names no env_var must be supplied.
  5. A requirement group with no member supplied and no env_vars of its own is refused.

How to test it locally

export OTARI_SECRET_KEY=$(uv run --frozen python -c 'from gateway.services.secret_box import generate_secret_key; print(generate_secret_key())')

uv run otari serve

export OTARI=http://localhost:8000/api/v1
export AUTH="Authorization: Bearer $OTARI_MASTER_KEY"

# the picker this writes for
curl -s -H "$AUTH" "$OTARI/tool-settings/guardrails/catalog" | jq -c '[.guardrails[].guardrail_name]'

# store a Bedrock definition: five values in one map, two of them credentials
curl -s -X POST "$OTARI/guardrail-credentials" -H "$AUTH" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"name":"bedrock-input","guardrail_name":"bedrock_guardrails",
       "create_kwargs":{"guardrail_identifier":"gr-abc123","region_name":"us-east-1",
                        "aws_access_key_id":"AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE",
                        "aws_secret_access_key":"wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY"}}' | jq

Expect the identifier and region back under create_kwargs, the two AWS keys only as create_secrets: {"aws_access_key_id": "***", "aws_secret_access_key": "***"}, and decryptable: true. Then confirm the split reached the database rather than only the response:

SELECT create_kwargs, encrypted_create_secrets LIKE '%AKIA%' AS leaks_key
FROM guardrail_credentials WHERE name = 'bedrock-input';

create_kwargs holds the three plain values, and leaks_key is false: the column is a Fernet token. Worth trying the two refusals as well, boto3_session and a missing guardrail_identifier, each a 400 naming the rule.

PR Type

  • New Feature
  • Bug Fix
  • Refactor
  • Documentation
  • Infrastructure / CI

Relevant issues

Closes #1209

Adjacent and deliberately not fixed here: #1125 (redact_secret_like_values masks only top-level keys, which validate_kwargs inherits) and #1127 (the existing credential stores re-encrypt without a version check; this service commits its own writes rather than repeating that shape).

Checklist

  • I understand the code I am submitting.
  • I have added or updated tests that cover my change (tests/unit, tests/integration).
  • I ran the Definition of Done checks locally (make lint, make typecheck, make test).
  • Documentation was updated where necessary.
  • If the API contract changed, I regenerated the OpenAPI spec (uv run python scripts/generate_openapi.py).

Note on stacking: this targets feat-hosted-guardrail-catalog rather than main, because the store validates against a catalog that only lists the ten hosted-API guardrails on that branch. The unresolved review on #1160 asking for six more guardrails resolves upstream of this work: the store reads the catalog function rather than a frozen list, so it follows whatever that branch decides with no edit here.

Summary

Adds database storage and an operator API for hosted guardrail definitions.

  • Adds the guardrail_credentials table and migration support.
  • Adds CRUD and re-encryption endpoints at /api/v1/guardrail-credentials.
  • Validates guardrails and arguments against the built-in catalog.
  • Encrypts secrets, masks them in responses, and preserves masked secrets during updates.
  • Adds operator authorization, optimistic concurrency, path-safe names, and database error handling.
  • Adds hybrid-mode behavior, documentation, API artifacts, client schemas, and test coverage.
  • Keeps stored definitions out of request processing for now.

Technical notes

Non-secret constructor arguments use JSON storage. Secret constructor arguments use one encrypted map. Required arguments treat null as missing while accepting valid falsy values such as 0 and false. The table is not included in tenant bootstrap surfaces.

21-24: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a server-enforced bound to the list read.

list_guardrail_credentials selects every row, and the operator list route returns all of them. The table is operator-authored and normally small, so the practical risk today is low. The repository guideline is explicit, though, and a cheap cap here keeps the endpoint from growing into an unbounded read later.

Consider accepting a limit (with a default maximum) and applying it in SQL.

♻️ Possible shape
-async def list_guardrail_credentials(db: AsyncSession) -> list[GuardrailCredential]:
-    """Every stored guardrail, ordered by name."""
-    rows = (await db.execute(select(GuardrailCredential).order_by(GuardrailCredential.name))).scalars().all()
-    return list(rows)
+async def list_guardrail_credentials(db: AsyncSession, *, limit: int = 500) -> list[GuardrailCredential]:
+    """Stored guardrails, ordered by name, bounded by ``limit``."""
+    stmt = select(GuardrailCredential).order_by(GuardrailCredential.name).limit(limit)
+    return list((await db.execute(stmt)).scalars().all())

As per coding guidelines: "Every list endpoint has a server-enforced limit, including operator endpoints."

278-284: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Full create_kwargs replacement still fails when the old secret map can't be decrypted.

decrypt_create_secrets(row) runs on every update, before the code checks whether create_kwargs was actually sent. If the stored secret map can't be decrypted with the current OTARI_SECRET_KEY (lost key, incomplete rotation), a PATCH that supplies a complete, fresh create_kwargs still raises SecretDecryptionError and fails, even though the new payload never needs the old secrets.

This blocks the documented recovery path: both StoredGuardrailSchema.decryptable and reencrypt_guardrail_credentials describe "re-enter its credentials" as how an operator fixes an undecryptable row. Right now, that re-entry itself is what fails.

Decrypt the old map only when it is actually needed: when create_kwargs is omitted (merging into the stored map), or when a sent value is the *** placeholder that must resolve to a stored secret.

🔧 Proposed fix
-from gateway.models.secret_fields import restore_redacted_values
+from gateway.models.secret_fields import REDACTED_VALUE, restore_redacted_values
     target_guardrail = row.guardrail_name if isinstance(guardrail_name, _Unset) else guardrail_name
-    stored_secrets = decrypt_create_secrets(row)
 
     if isinstance(create_kwargs, _Unset):
+        stored_secrets = decrypt_create_secrets(row)

165-176: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Add a server-enforced limit to list_stored_guardrails.

This endpoint returns every stored guardrail with no skip/limit parameters. As per coding guidelines, "Every list endpoint has a server-enforced limit, including operator endpoints." Add the same paging pattern the rest of the tenancy-adjacent list endpoints use.

Row counts here are operator-managed and likely to stay small, so this is a low-priority follow-up rather than a blocker.

Second pass, on the three findings from the latest review.

The PATCH example. Fixed, at its source rather than in the collection. The collection is generated from docs/public/openapi.json, so a hand-edit there would come back on the next make postman. UpdateGuardrailCredentialRequest now carries a json_schema_extra example the way the create model already did, and the placeholder body is gone:

{"create_kwargs": {"api_key": "***", "endpoint": "https://api.lakera.ai/v2/guard"}, "enabled": false}

A true partial update, no "string" values, no empty create_kwargs that would clear the stored arguments, and it shows the *** rule where someone is most likely to meet it. Spec, collection and web/src/client/schema.ts regenerated together; make openapi-check and make postman-check pass.

The re-encryption pass, both findings. Real, and both left alone here on purpose. They are #1127, which predates this branch and names the pattern rather than the copy: provider_store_service and search_tool_store_service read every encrypted row and re-encrypt with nothing pinning the write to the ciphertext that was read, and this store was deliberately built to the same shape. #1209 called that out as one of the two known flaws to reference rather than fix here.

Changing it in one store leaves three stores with two shapes, which is worse than three with one flawed shape: the next person copies whichever they find first. So I have added both dimensions to #1127 instead of opening a fourth issue, since the fix wants one loop: #1127 (comment)

The two are also the same rewrite. A conditional update matching the ciphertext that was read has to happen per row, and doing that over a keyset batch is the bounded read. Splitting them would mean touching the same function in three stores twice.

Worth recording while it is in view: this store does not inherit the other half of #1127. It owns its commits and turns an IntegrityError into a 409 itself, which is the shape that issue argues the older two should move to, so there is now a worked example of the target in the tree.

Also from the first pass: #1212 bounds the ordinary list reads of the two older stores, and #1213 covers stored guardrail URLs getting no validate_url check before a runner dials them.

Third pass, on the two latest findings.

SQLAlchemyError escaping the writes. Good catch, and it was a real inconsistency with the stores this copies: search_tools.py and providers.py map a refused commit to a 500 on every write, while this one only did it on /reencrypt.

Fixed in the service, as suggested, because that is the layer that owns the commit here. All four writes now go through one _commit helper that rolls back and re-raises, and the routes turn what comes out into 500 {"detail": "Database error"}. The routes no longer roll back on that path, since the session is already clean by the time they see it.

Two details worth naming. The IntegrityError arm in create keeps its own rollback: add_guardrail_credential flushes, so a primary-key collision can surface before the commit is ever reached, and that path still has to leave the session usable. And delete was missing the mapping too, not just create and update, so it got the same treatment.

A test covers all three in one place, since they share the helper: patch _commit to refuse, and POST, PATCH and DELETE each answer 500 with the detail naming nothing but the fact.

The empty name path variable in the collection. Real, and not this PR's. Every request in the collection that takes a path parameter ships it empty, about forty of them across /keys, /budgets, /aliases, /batches and the rest:

"variable": [{"description": "path parameter", "key": "name", "value": ""}]

scripts/generate_postman.py fills body examples from the schema's own example and from EXAMPLE_BODY_OVERRIDES, but nothing ever supplies a path variable. Filling in the three guardrail ones by hand would leave one resource behaving unlike every other, and the collection is generated, so it would not survive the next make postman anyway. Filed as #1228 with three options for doing it generator-wide, cheapest first.

make lint, make typecheck, make openapi-check, make postman-check and 170 tests pass. The artifacts are unchanged, since none of this touched the contract.

Fourth pass. Two fixed, one filed.

A name containing /. Fixed, and worse than the comment suggested: I checked both spellings, and neither reaches the route. Starlette path parameters do not span a segment boundary, and %2F is decoded after routing, so /guardrail-credentials/team%2Fprompt 404s as surely as the bare form does. A row stored under such a name could never be read, updated or deleted through the API again. CreateGuardrailCredentialRequest.name now carries pattern=r"^[^/]+$", with a test that the create is refused and the table stays empty.

The same gap exists on /api/v1/search-tools, whose name is Field(min_length=1) with no pattern and is dispatched to at /api/v1/search/{tool}. That is a different resource on a branch that does not touch it, so it is #1231 rather than a wider diff here.

None satisfying a required argument. Fixed. Both checks tested key existence, so {"detection_config": null} passed rule 4 and {"api_key": null} would have passed a requirement group, storing a definition that cannot build and reporting create_secrets: {"api_key": "***"} for a credential that is null. One _supplied helper now tests against None specifically, so zero and false stay values: openai_moderation takes a threshold of 0, and reading that as missing would be its own bug. A test each way.

Secret validate_kwargs at rest. Filed as #1230, not fixed here.

It is a real latent gap and not a live exposure. GuardrailParameterSpec.secret exists on validate parameters, but none of the ten guardrails declares one: every validate parameter in the catalog today is content, not a credential.

guardrail validate parameters
alinia output, context_documents
any_llm policy, model_id, system_prompt, prompt_version
azure_prompt_shields documents
patronus output_text, retrieved_context
the other six none

So nothing is in that column in cleartext that should not be. #1209 specified it this way deliberately, plain with masking on output, modeled on how organization_guardrails already treats its own. Changing it wants a second encrypted column, a migration, the *** restore semantics create_kwargs has, and the four artifacts. #1230 carries that scope, including a guard so the next guardrail with a secret validate parameter cannot reintroduce the gap unnoticed.

Spec, collection and web/src/client/schema.ts regenerated for the pattern. make lint, make typecheck, make openapi-check, make postman-check and 188 tests pass.

Process re-encryption in bounded batches.

repository.list_encrypted_guardrail_credentials materializes every encrypted credential. reencrypt_guardrail_credentials retains that result while processing each row and commits only after the full pass. As the table grows, memory use and transaction duration grow without bound, so credential rotation can fail before completion.

Use stable keyset batches for lookup and updates. Keep only one batch in memory, release each batch after processing, and preserve the service-owned transaction and rollback contract.

Roll back repository flush failures.

repository.add_guardrail_credential calls db.flush(), so a non-IntegrityError SQLAlchemyError can occur before _commit runs. The service does not roll back that failure, and the route's SQLAlchemyError handler raises the database error without rolling back. get_db closes the session only after the handler exits, so its lifecycle does not replace the service-owned rollback required by the project contract.

Proposed fix
     try:
         await repository.add_guardrail_credential(db, row)
         await _commit(db)

Fifth pass.

The flush window. Right, and it was a gap I opened last round. When I moved the rollback into the service I wrapped the commit alone, but add_guardrail_credential flushes, so an insert can fail before a commit is ever reached. Nothing rolled back there, and the route's handler had stopped doing it on the grounds that the service already had.

Fixed by widening the block rather than adding a second handler. _commit is now _write, an async context manager around the whole write, staging and commit together:

async with _write(db):
    await repository.add_guardrail_credential(db, row)
    await db.commit()

One rollback site per write, and it covers both windows. The IntegrityError arm on create dropped its own rollback, since the block has already done it by the time that handler runs. Delete and re-encrypt get the same treatment: both call the repository before committing, so both had the same window.

Two tests: one patches AsyncSession.commit and checks POST, PATCH, DELETE and /reencrypt all answer 500 {"detail": "Database error"}, the other patches AsyncSession.flush to cover the insert window specifically.

Bounded batches for re-encryption. Same finding as the earlier thread, and still deferred to the same place. It is #1127, which describes the shape rather than this copy: the provider and search-tool stores read every encrypted row the same way. I added the batching scope to that issue after the earlier round, so it is recorded rather than dropped: #1127 (comment)

The reasoning has not changed. The conditional update that issue already asks for has to happen per row, and doing that over a keyset batch is the same loop, so splitting them would mean touching the same function in three stores twice. Changing it in one store also leaves three stores with two shapes, and the next person copies whichever they find first.

make lint, make typecheck, make openapi-check, make postman-check and 189 tests pass. No contract change, so the artifacts are untouched.

Unrelated to this branch: the four red dashboard jobs (build, dashboard, e2e, serving) are all one tsc error in AuthHelp.tsx, from #1220 and #1170 colliding on main. #1232 fixes it.

A guardrail profile is a key in a YAML file inside the guardrails container
today, so defining one means editing that file and restarting it. This table
holds the definition instead: the any_guardrail class the catalog offered, plus
the arguments that build and call it, named by the profile a caller sends.

The constructor arguments take two columns rather than one each. The guardrails
a hosted API reaches carry between zero and three secret arguments, so a column
per credential would chase every guardrail upstream adds; the non-secret ones
stay plain and every secret goes into one map encrypted as a single string.

Nothing reads the table yet.

The error family and the session access for guardrail_credentials, both leaves
with no logic of their own.

Every error names a rule the guardrail catalog states rather than one written
here, so the store can only refuse what the picker would not have offered. They
carry no status_code: that convention belongs to the tenancy slice, where one
registered handler serves a family too large to wrap per route, and this family
has a single caller that maps it the way the search-tool routes map theirs.

The repository flushes and never commits, leaving the commit boundary with the
service.

Refs #1209

Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>
The service behind the store: hold a submitted definition to what the catalog
says its guardrail accepts, split the secrets out by the catalog's own flag, and
encrypt them as one map.

Every rule is read off the catalog rather than written here, so the store is
wrong exactly when the picker is. A list of names, of required arguments or of
which arguments are credentials could only drift from the form it exists to
accept, and the drift would show as a field the form offers and the store
refuses.

Two rules need a carve-out. A required argument that names an environment
variable may be omitted, because the catalog folds upstream's
effectively-required flag into required and demanding it would refuse a working
row; a requirement group that names one is skipped for the same reason. Neither
consults the environment, since whether a variable is set belongs to the process
that builds the guardrail and not to the one writing the row.

Adds builtin_guardrail_spec to the catalog so the store looks a guardrail up
instead of reaching for a private helper.

Refs #1209

Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>
The route in. /api/v1/guardrail-credentials is the write target for the picker
at GET /api/v1/tool-settings/guardrails/catalog, so a guardrail chosen there can
be filled in and saved.

Deliberately the shape of /api/v1/search-tools and /api/v1/provider-credentials:
rows keyed by name, credentials encrypted at rest and never returned, a
tri-state PATCH under a row lock with an optimistic-concurrency check, and a
re-encryption endpoint for OTARI_SECRET_KEY rotation. Operator-gated, and the
hybrid stub answers the prefix with the reason rather than a bare 404.

Where it parts company with those two is the response. A guardrail may hold
several credentials, so the row reports which ones are set by name and each
masked, rather than the last four characters of a single key. A row whose map
cannot be read is listed with no names and decryptable false, because the
operator is the one person who can fix it.

Refs #1209

Signed-off-by: Dimitris Poulopoulos <dimitris@mozilla.ai>
Says how a choice from the catalog is saved: one create_kwargs map that Otari
splits by the catalog's secret flag, a response that names the stored
credentials without carrying one, what the mask means on a PATCH, the four
refusals and why a live object is one of them, and what decryptable false asks
an operator to do.

Closes #1209

Fine for me. There are some comments to be addressed, though, but I'll probably be fine with whatever solution we agree, so pre-approved.

I'd create (as part of another PR) a separate root for all these operations, like /management/v1. This is an api, of course, but not a user-facing API. I'd also prefer to see a separate package for management deployed in its own container for further security and deploy flexibility.

Closing in favor of an organization-scoped design. Two reasons, and neither is a problem with the work in this PR.

Scope. guardrail_credentials is keyed on name alone, so one row serves every tenant. #1209 says as much, and deliberately keeps the table out of HOSTED_SURFACES, the same gap #818 tracks. What we now need is for an organization owner or admin to define a guardrail for their own workspaces, the way org_provider_keys works for provider keys. That is a different table.

The replacement extends organization_guardrails, which is already organization-scoped, already workspace-scoped, already gated on owner or admin, and already resolved on the request path. It gains guardrail_name, create_kwargs and encrypted_create_secrets, so an entry either names a remote profile as it does today, or defines an API-hosted guardrail in place.

The branch no longer passes lint. check_flat_modules landed on main in bad022e (Sep 17) and refuses a new top-level module under services/. This branch is from Sep 16 and adds services/guardrail_credential_service.py. The replacement puts that code in services/tenancy/, beside org_provider_key_service.py.

What carries over, ported rather than re-derived: the five catalog-driven validation rules, the split of create kwargs into a plain column plus one encrypted map, and the *** restore semantics on PATCH.
