Using Lasso with Portkey

​

1. Add Lasso Credentials to Portkey

• Navigate to the Integrations page under Settings
• Click on the edit button for the Lasso integration
• Add your Lasso API Key (obtain this from your Lasso Security account)

​

2. Add Lasso’s Guardrail Check

• Navigate to the Guardrails page and click the Create button
• Search for “Scan Content” and click Add
• Set the timeout in milliseconds (default: 10000ms)
• Set any actions you want on your check, and create the Guardrail!

​

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 input_guardrails or output_guardrails params in your Portkey Config
• Create these Configs in Portkey UI, save them, and get an associated Config ID to attach to your requests. More here.

Here’s an example config:

{
  "input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
  "output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"]
}

const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    config: "pc-***" // Supports a string config id or a config object
});

const portkey = new Portkey({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    config: "pc-***" // Supports a string config id or a config object
});

portkey = Portkey(
    api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    config="pc-***" # Supports a string config id or a config object
)

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: 'OPENAI_API_KEY',
  baseURL: PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
  defaultHeaders: createHeaders({
    apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY",
    config: "CONFIG_ID"
  })
});

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="OPENAI_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY")
    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
    default_headers=createHeaders(
        provider="openai",
        api_key="PORTKEY_API_KEY", # defaults to os.environ.get("PORTKEY_API_KEY")
        config="CONFIG_ID"
    )
)

curl https://api.portkey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY" \
  -H "x-portkey-api-key: $PORTKEY_API_KEY" \
  -H "x-portkey-config: $CONFIG_ID" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "messages": [{
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello!"
      }]
  }'

For more, refer to the Config documentation.

Your requests are now guarded by Lasso Security’s protective measures, and you can see the verdict and any actions taken directly in your Portkey logs!
