Attach a Guardrail

After creating a guardrail (via portal or REST API), attach it to one of three targets:

• Hosted Agent — agent.yaml policies block
• Model Deployment — REST API or request-time header
• Toolbox — policies.rai_config.rai_policy_name in toolbox definition

---

Hosted Agent

A guardrail assigned to an agent fully overrides the underlying model deployment's guardrail. If no guardrail is assigned, the agent inherits the model deployment's guardrail.

Add a policies block to agent.yaml with the guardrail's full ARM resource ID:

policies:
  - type: rai_policy
