- In short
- A guarded request path has three distinct checkpoints: input screening runs before the model call and decides whether a request should reach the model at all; output screening runs after generation and decides whether the response is safe to return; and tool-call authorization runs before any side-effecting action and decides whether this caller may perform this action in this context. Each answers a different question, so a control at one point provides zero coverage for the other two.
