Real-time guardrail validation in Claude Desktop

`validate_guardrails` checks your prompt arrays against toxicity, PII, and off-topic rules before you execute them. Claude Desktop routes your proposed model inputs through Aporia's safety checks instantly. You get immediate feedback on whether an interaction violates configured boundaries. This stops bad outputs before they generate, keeping your workspace secure.

Monitor telemetry and model drift

`get_metrics` pulls live performance and drift data for any monitored Aporia model. Your MCP agent grabs exact latency, error rates, and drift statistics without forcing you into a browser tab. If you need to force an evaluation, `trigger_monitor` kicks off an immediate run. Catching an anomaly early means you can trigger the check and read the results inline.

Inspect workspaces and dashboards

`list_dashboards` surfaces the custom observability views configured in your workspace. Asking your AI client for a specific view maps out the available setups. Need specifics on what is being watched? `list_models` and `list_monitors` pull down the exact configurations and safety nets active on your infrastructure.

You see the failure directly in your chat interface. Triggering an immediate re-run verifies if the issue persists.

Ask your agent to pull the metrics for a specific model ID. It fetches the current drift and performance statistics on demand.
