## Using Pillar with the AI Gateway

### 1. Add Pillar API Key to the AI Gateway

* Navigate to the `Integrations` page under `Settings`
* Click on the edit button for the Pillar integration and add your API key

### 2. Add Pillar's Guardrail Check

* Now, navigate to the "Guardrails" page
* Search for Pillar's Guardrail Checks `Scan Prompt` or `Scan Response` and click on `Add`
* Pick the info you'd like scanned and save the check.
* Set any actions you want on your check, and create the Guardrail!

| Check Name    | Description                                                                                                | Parameters | Supported Hooks      |
| :------------ | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------- | :------------------- |
| Scan Prompt   | Analyses your inputs for `prompt injection`, `PII`, `Secrets`, `Toxic Language`, and `Invisible Character` | Dropdown   | `beforeRequestHooks` |
| Scan Response | Analyses your outputs for `PII`, Secrets, and `Toxic Language`                                             | Dropdown   | `afterRequestHooks`  |

Your Pillar Guardrail is now ready to be added to any AI Gateway request you'd like!

### 3. Add Guardrail ID to a Config and Make Your Request

* When you save a Guardrail, you'll get an associated Guardrail ID - add this ID to the `before_request_hooks` or `after_request_hooks` params in your AI Gateway Config
* Save this Config and pass it along with any AI Gateway request you're making!

Your requests are now guarded by your Pillar checks and you can see the Verdict and any action you take directly on AI Gateway logs! More detailed logs for your requests will also be available on your Pillar dashboard.
