This detector identifies potential infinite loops or infinite recursion in the generated text. It helps prevent the model from getting stuck in an infinite loop and causing a denial of service attack.

​
Example request:

import requests
import json
import os

url = "https://api.enkryptai.com/guardrails/detect"

payload = json.dumps({
    "text": "All programmers are men and women can't code.",
    "detectors": {
        "sponge_attack": {
            "enabled": True,
            "block_message": "Your custom message"
        }
    }
})

headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'apikey': os.getenv('ENKRYPTAI_API_KEY')
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

formatted_response = json.dumps(json.loads(response.text), indent=4)
print(formatted_response)
