Prompt injection firewall · Adarve Engine · EU
Every prompt walks the rampart.
Adarve inspects prompts, documents and LLM responses before they reach your model or your users. Heuristics + local models on your own CPU. It returns a risk score: you pick the threshold.
- Never blocks by default
- Prompts are never stored in clear text
- Powered by Adarve Engine
Live
The Playground
Type a prompt or pick an example, and watch it walk the layers. No signup: this is the real engine.
Heuristic shield
Normalizes Unicode, decodes obfuscation (×3) and matches known signatures.
Pick an example or type your own prompt to see the pipeline in action.
Semantic analyzer
Local transformer models + a multilingual attack memory.
Risk score
You pick the threshold. Adarve informs, never orders.
Score, category and latency come straight from the real API payload. Nothing here is decorative.
How it works
Adarve Engine: layered checks, one risk score, your policy
Everything runs on Adarve’s own servers in the EU. No third-party AI call in the inspection path.
Your app
Sends the prompt, the RAG document or the LLM response.
Normalization
Invisible Unicode, homoglyphs, nested Base64/Hex/URL up to 3 layers.
Signatures
Versioned patterns in ES/EN and more, with or without accents.
Model ensemble
Transformer classifiers + a multilingual attack memory, in windows over the whole text.
Your policy
Per-project rules, canaries and your threshold. Adarve only blocks where you enable enforce mode.
Why Adarve
Security you can audit, deploy and understand
EU-hosted, private by design
Inspection runs on our own servers in the EU. No prompt is forwarded to a third-party AI provider, and none is stored in clear text.
A risk score, never an imposed block
A false positive that blocks a customer is catastrophic. You set the threshold per use case.
Truly multilingual
Spanish and English signatures plus a semantic memory that recognizes paraphrases across languages.
Indirect injection too
Scans whole documents in sliding windows: what hides at the end of a PDF counts too.
Audit-ready logs
One row per inspection with hash, score and deciding layer. Useful evidence for your logging obligations.
Degrades, never fails
If the models are saturated you get the layer-1 verdict with degraded: true. Never a 5xx.
Built for agents
Your agent reads the web, your documents and its own tool output. All of that is input.
Adarve sits between the agent, the model and its tools: it inspects what goes in and what comes out, pins MCP schemas and cuts exfiltration channels.
- OpenAI-compatible gateway: change base_url and you are done
- Inspection of tool output, RAG chunks and web pages
- MCP schema pinning against rug pulls
- Exfiltration filter for markdown images and links
Integration
Two lines before you call your LLM
A JSON REST API, SDKs for Python and TypeScript, or the OpenAI-compatible gateway: change base_url and you are done.

Frequently asked questions
Does Adarve block prompts?
Not by default. Every response carries a risk_score from 0 to 1 and a category; verdict is always null. Your application picks the threshold (for example 0.8 to block and 0.5 to review) and the action.
Do you store my prompts?
Not in clear text. Each inspection leaves one audit row with the SHA-256 hash of the text, the score, the category and the deciding layer. Storing text requires deliberately enabling a forensic mode.
Which models does it use?
Adarve Engine: deterministic de-obfuscation and multilingual signatures, an ensemble of transformer classifiers and a multilingual attack memory, all running on CPU on our EU servers. How it compares with the best public open model, measured, is on the Engine and Methodology pages.
Is it foolproof?
No. No prompt injection detector is: adaptive attacks exist. That's why we only publish measured numbers, with dataset and date, and why Adarve returns a score instead of promising certainty.
Does my data leave the EU?
No. Adarve runs on its own servers in the EU and the inspection path never calls a third-party AI provider. Enterprise customers get a dedicated single-tenant instance.
When does Pro launch and what will it cost?
€49/month (or €490/year). It opens when the waitlist justifies it. Join and we'll let you know once.
