Stop poisoned memories before your agent acts on them
Memory poisoning plants an instruction that your agent stores and recalls later, so the attack fires turns or sessions after it was written. LLM Shield screens every recalled memory before the model sees it and returns a risk score, evidence span and recommended action. It screens what is recalled; it does not clean an already poisoned store.

What is memory poisoning?
An instruction is stored as if it were a memory.
Agents keep long-term memory, user profile notes and prior-session summaries so they can pick up where they left off. An attacker who can get text into that memory, through a message, a document or a tool response, can plant an instruction that is saved alongside the real notes.
The attack runs turns or sessions after it was written.
When the agent recalls that memory, the planted instruction comes back into the conversation looking like trusted context. The attack fires turns or sessions after it was written, long after the message that carried it is gone. OWASP lists memory poisoning among its agentic risks.

Live today, same API, same call.
Your agent pulls memories back
Retrieved memory, long-term memory, user profile notes and prior-session summaries: anything your agent is about to place back in the conversation.
Send each memory to the same endpoint
The same API call you use for every other input, read by the same proprietary model across the whole conversation, multi-turn included. The response carries a risk score, the evidence span and a recommended action.
Block the poisoned memory before it is used
Your agent applies PASS, LOG, FLAG or BLOCK before the model sees the memory. On any error the call fails closed: never a silent pass.
What about memory writes?
Screen before you store, when you route it.
Memory writes can be screened on the way in when you route them through the API before storing them. Send the text your agent is about to save through the same call, and act on the recommended action before it is written.
It screens what is recalled.
LLM Shield does not clean or audit a memory store that is already poisoned; it screens what is recalled. Because every recalled memory is screened before the model sees it, an entry planted earlier is caught at the moment it comes back.
Where can it run, and does quality change?
- Hosted API
- In your VPC
- On-premises
- Air-gapped
Same detection quality everywhere it runs: hosted, in your VPC, on-premises or air-gapped. It is the same model we trained.
How well does it detect attacks?
99.78% ROC AUC. 1,700 of 1,700 attack samples flagged or blocked, none passed. Zero errors across 7,084 requests.Measured on our live public API, September 2026, over 7,084 requests.

What do teams ask about memory poisoning?
What if a memory store is already poisoned?
LLM Shield does not clean or audit a memory store. It screens each memory at the moment your agent pulls it back into the conversation, before the model sees it, and returns a risk score, the evidence span and a recommended action, so a poisoned entry can be blocked before it is acted on.
Which memory systems does it work with?
Any. LLM Shield screens the text your agent recalls, not the store itself, so it works with vector memory, long-term memory, user profile notes and prior-session summaries alike. Send the recalled text through the same API call you use for every other input, and act on the recommended action.
Is this the same API call?
Yes. Memory is screened with the same API call as prompts, documents, tool responses and transcripts, by the same proprietary model, with the same output: a risk score, the evidence span and a recommended action of PASS, LOG, FLAG or BLOCK. On any error it fails closed.
