Agent Shield — DistilBERT Prompt Injection Detector
Fine-tuned DistilBERT model for detecting prompt injection attacks in LLM pipelines. Part of the Agent Shield security system.
- Accuracy: 99.29%
- F1 Score: 99.29%
- Dataset: 23,659 rows (50/50 balanced)
- Adversarial eval: 14/14 (100%)
- Model size: 67M params | ONNX exported | F32
What it does
Classifies input text as:
INJECTION— prompt injection attemptSAFE— benign input
Used as Layer 2 (L2) in the Agent Shield detection pipeline, after L1 Vigil signature scanning.

User Input
│
▼
L1: Vigil signature scanner (~8ms) — known pattern match
│
▼
L2: This model — ONNX DistilBERT — semantic ML (threshold: 0.75)
│

}Limitations
- English only
- Max token length: 128 — longer inputs are truncated
- May miss novel jailbreaks not represented in training data
- Best used as L2 in a multi-layer pipeline (not standalone)
- Latency ~600ms — not suitable for hard real-time requirements
