Short answer
How can I stop bad JSON from breaking my app?
Your agent uses strict schema enforcement to validate incoming data against your rules. It catches errors and rejects malformed objects before they reach your database. You get a clean, predictable data stream.
Where every issue lands.
The outcomes of strict validation
The AI sorts every data object into one of these four buckets based on its structure.
VALID
Clean data passes
The AI confirms the object matches your schema. It lets the data move forward to your database or next process.
REJECTED
Malformed data stops
The AI identifies structural errors or missing fields. It blocks these objects immediately to prevent downstream crashes.
MANUAL
Human review needed
If the data is ambiguous or sits on the edge of your rules, the AI flags it for you to check manually.
LOGGED
Error history saved
Every failed validation attempt is recorded. You get a clear trail of why specific objects were rejected.
The workflow
What your AI does when data arrives.
The AI acts as a programmable barrier between raw input and your permanent storage.
Schema comparison
The AI compares the incoming JSON object against your required schema definition.
validate_json_schemaError detection
It identifies exactly which keys are missing or which data types are incorrect.
validate_json_schemaStrict rejection
The AI stops any object that fails to meet the strict requirements of the schema.
validate_json_schemaValidation reporting
The AI provides a clear reason for every rejection so you can fix the source.
validate_json_schema

How the gatekeeper behaves
- 01
Will the AI fix the bad data for me?
No. The AI identifies and rejects invalid data to ensure only perfect data passes through. It does not attempt to rewrite or repair the malformed objects.
- 02
Can the AI change my database schema?
No. The AI only reads your schema to perform validation. It has no permission to modify your database or your schema definitions.
- 03
What happens if the JSON is valid but the values are wrong?
If your schema includes value constraints, like minimum numbers or specific string patterns, the AI will reject the data if those constraints aren't met.
- 04
Does this work with any JSON file?
Yes, as long as you provide the schema you want the AI to use for the comparison.
- 05
Can I use this to clean my data?
No. This tool is for filtering and rejection, not for cleaning or transforming data.
