You can now configure pre- and post-execution hooks for agents and enable built-in guardrails including prompt injection checks, PII detection, and OpenAI Moderation. This makes it straightforward to add safety, governance, and auditing without custom code.

**Details**

- Run pre-execution checks and post-run audits uniformly across agents.
- Block risky content and enforce policies consistently across channels and models.

**Who this is for:** Teams in regulated environments or those seeking stronger content governance and auditability.
