@aegis-sdk/koa

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

Part of the Aegis.js prompt injection defense toolkit.

Installation

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

Quick Start

import Koa from 'koa';
import bodyParser from 'koa-bodyparser';
import { aegisMiddleware } from '@aegis-sdk/koa';

const app = new Koa();
app.use(bodyParser());
app.use(aegisMiddleware({ policy: 'strict' }));

app.use(async (ctx) => {
  const { messages, instance } = ctx.state.aegis; // scanned messages
  // pass messages to your LLM
  ctx.body = { reply: '...' };
});

app.listen(3000);

API

aegisMiddleware(options?)

Creates Koa middleware that reads ctx.request.body.messages, runs them through aegis.guardInput(), and attaches the safe messages to ctx.state.aegis. Returns 403 with violation details if input is blocked.

Requires a body parsing middleware (e.g., koa-bodyparser) to be applied first.

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 ctx.request.body to read messages from
scanStrategy	ScanStrategy	"last-user"	Which messages to scan
onBlocked	(ctx, detections, error) => boolean	--	Custom error handler. Return true to take over the response

Access scan results in downstream middleware via ctx.state.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.use(async (ctx) => {
  const transform = aegisStreamTransform(ctx.state.aegis.instance);
  const monitoredStream = llmStream.pipeThrough(transform);
  // pipe the monitored stream to the response
});

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.
