Free prompt injection scanner
Paste a prompt — we run nine open-source heuristic detectors and return an injection-likelihood score plus a breakdown of which patterns triggered. Useful as a first-pass signal before passing user input to an LLM.
Free tier: 10 scans/day per IP. No login required.
Going to production?
Join the waitlist for the paid API: higher rate limits, extended detector library (including LLM-judge detectors and policy-aware classifiers), bulk scanning, and Slack/Discord webhooks. Targeting $29/mo at launch.
We'll email when the paid API opens. No spam.
Detectors
Each detector contributes to the final score additively (capped at 1.0). Severity buckets: clean (0), low (<0.25), medium (<0.5), high (≥0.5). Weights are tuned so a single high-severity hit produces a high score and several low-severity hits compound. The detector list is regex-based and intentionally not perfect; we treat it as a fast first-pass filter, not a security guarantee.

delimiter_breakweight 0.2Code-fence walls or triple-quote walls followed by a new-rule phrase.
-
multistep_jailbreakweight 0.3"Step 1: …" combined with role/system override patterns.
-

language_switchingweight 0.1Two or more scripts (e.g., Latin + Cyrillic + CJK) each ≥15% of the prompt.
API
Three public endpoints. Same rate limits as the form (10/day per IP for /scan).
