Guardrails AI integration for MLflow.
This module provides integration with Guardrails AI validators, allowing them to be used
with MLflow's scorer interface for LLM safety, PII detection, and content quality evaluation.
Example usage:
.. code-block:: python
from mlflow.genai.scorers.guardrails import ToxicLanguage, DetectPII
# Evaluate LLM outputs for toxicity
scorer = ToxicLanguage()
feedback = scorer(outputs="This is a friendly response.")
# Detect PII in outputs
pii_scorer = DetectPII()
feedback = pii_scorer(outputs="Contact john@email.com for details.")
