## Remarks

Read from the `Tracon:ContentGuard` configuration section.

None of the settings in this class **have any effect while no guard
is registered**: the inspection wrapper is not added to the pipeline and
this object is never read. The gate is not a flag, it
*is* the registration itself — the built-in guard is added by an
explicit choice, either via `AddPatternContentGuard` or by populating
the `Tracon:ContentGuard:Pattern` section.

## Constructors

### <a id="Tracon_TraconContentGuardOptions__ctor"></a> TraconContentGuardOptions\(\)

```csharp
public TraconContentGuardOptions()
```

## Fields

### <a id="Tracon_TraconContentGuardOptions_SectionName"></a> SectionName

The configuration section name.

```csharp
public const string SectionName = "Tracon:ContentGuard"
```

#### Field Value

 [string](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.string)

## Properties

### <a id="Tracon_TraconContentGuardOptions_BufferStreamingOutput"></a> BufferStreamingOutput

While output inspection is on, the streaming response is
**buffered**. Default [true](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/bool).

```csharp
public bool BufferStreamingOutput { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

 [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean)

#### Remarks

A frame cannot be recalled once it has been sent to the client. A pattern
does not match on a partial piece of text: `4539-` is seen and passes
through before the card number is complete. Buffering costs the
liveliness of the stream but inspects correctly.

Setting this to [false](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/bool) leaves output inspection
*half done*: the guard only ever sees each frame on its own.
Silently doing half an inspection is worse than doing none — the user
believes they are protected. That is why the choice is an explicit
setting, not a hidden behavior.

### <a id="Tracon_TraconContentGuardOptions_InspectInput"></a> InspectInput

Inspects content sent to the model. Default [true](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/bool).

```csharp
public bool InspectInput { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

 [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean)

#### Remarks

Tool results are covered too: a tool result enters the model on the
*second* call and is seen because inspection sits at the
`IChatClient` layer.

### <a id="Tracon_TraconContentGuardOptions_InspectOutput"></a> InspectOutput

Inspects content coming from the model. Default [true](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/bool).

```csharp
public bool InspectOutput { get; set; }
```

#### Property Value

 [bool](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.boolean)
