Original: Guardrails and Policy Enforcement for OpenAI Agents - How Traccia Proves Controls Fired

Short summary

Traccia integrates with the OpenAI Agents SDK to automatically capture guardrail execution traces, showing which input and output guardrails fired on each run. A separate @govern decorator hard-blocks or pauses agent actions before critical side effects like database writes or payments. The article demonstrates setup with a single init() call and covers guardrail placement, coverage confidence flags, and policy enforcement for production AI systems.

  • Traccia auto-captures OpenAI Agents SDK guardrail spans without custom annotations
  • @govern decorator hard-blocks critical agent actions before execution
  • Coverage confidence flags agents missing output guardrails for security audits

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
