How to build an AI system inventory in one week
An AI system inventory is the base of AI governance. A one-week plan: scope, sources to scan, fields to record, an owner, and how to keep it current.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

A decision guide to AI autonomy in security operations: from read-only summaries to supervised response, and why risky actions should wait for a person.
White-on-white text and other hidden content can carry instructions into a RAG index. How to extract text safely and validate documents before indexing.
Models read text people cannot see, like white-on-white resume text and invisible Unicode. How to extract, normalise and inspect input before the model.
Use the SDK when you own the MCP server code, the proxy when you do not. Both enforce the same policy. Components, trade offs and the current SDK status.
What each Guard proxy response means, from JSON-RPC code -32000 to a bare 401 or 404, and the first thing to check for each.
Guard checks MCP requests against rules in priority order and applies the first match. What a rule can match, the three actions, and common mistakes.
Guard rules can inspect tool inputs before a call and mask or cap tool outputs after. The filter types, what they catch, and where regex filters fall short.
Guard logs every MCP request it evaluates, allow, deny or monitor, with scores and rule IDs. What is stored, how long, how to query it, and what is not live.
