@aegis-sdk/hono

Hono middleware for scanning LLM chat messages against prompt injection attacks.

Part of the Aegis.js prompt injection defense toolkit.

Installation

npm install @aegis-sdk/hono @aegis-sdk/core

Quick Start

import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { Aegis } from '@aegis-sdk/core';
import { aegisMiddleware } from '@aegis-sdk/hono';

const app = new Hono();
const aegis = new Aegis({ policy: 'strict' });

app.post('/api/chat', aegisMiddleware({ aegis }), async (c) => {
  const { messages, instance } = c.get('aegis');
  // messages are scanned and safe to forward to your LLM
  return c.json({ reply: '...' });
});

export default app;

API

aegisMiddleware(options?)

Creates Hono middleware that reads messages from the request body, runs them through aegis.guardInput(), and sets the result on the context via c.set('aegis', ...). Returns 403 with violation details if input is blocked.

Accepts either an AegisConfig directly or an AegisMiddlewareOptions object:

Option	Type	Default	Description
aegis	AegisConfig | Aegis	{}	Aegis configuration or pre-constructed instance
messagesProperty	string	"messages"	Property on the request body to read messages from
scanStrategy	ScanStrategy	"last-user"	Which messages to scan
onBlocked	(c, error) => Response	--	Custom error handler. Return a Response to take over

Access scan results in your handler via c.get('aegis'), which returns { messages, instance, auditLog }.

aegisStreamTransform(configOrInstance?)

Returns a TransformStream<string, string> that monitors LLM output tokens for injection payloads, PII leaks, and canary token leaks.

app.post('/chat', aegisMiddleware({ aegis }), async (c) => {
  const transform = aegisStreamTransform(aegis);
  const monitoredStream = llmStream.pipeThrough(transform);
  return new Response(monitoredStream, {
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'text/event-stream' },
  });
});

guardMessages(aegis, messages, options?)

Scans messages directly without using the middleware. Throws AegisInputBlocked if input is blocked.

Re-exports

Aegis, AegisInputBlocked, AegisSessionQuarantined, AegisSessionTerminated, and all core types are re-exported for convenience.
