Dome’s configuration system lets you precisely control which Guards run, how they execute, and what Detectors they use. This guide covers all configuration options.

​
Configuration Hierarchy

Dome organizes protection in three levels: 
Guardrail (input/output)
    └── Guard (security, moderation, privacy)
            └── Detector (specific detection method)
Each level has its own configuration options that can be customized.

​
Guardrail Configuration

​
Guardrail Options

OptionTypeDefaultDescription
input-guardsList[]Guards to run on input
output-guardsList[]Guards to run on output
input-early-exitBooleanTrueStop on first input flag
input-run-parallelBooleanFalseRun input Guards in parallel
output-early-exitBooleanTrueStop on first output flag
output-run-parallelBooleanFalseRun output Guards in parallel

​
Execution Modes

  • Early Exit (default): Stops processing when the first Guard flags content. Faster for rejecting clearly malicious input.
  • Complete Execution: Runs all Guards regardless of flags. Useful for comprehensive logging.
Parallel Execution: Runs Guards simultaneously for lower latency.
