Describe the bug

I am using self check input rails template given in the notebook.

Nemoserver: nemoguardrails server --config=./guardrails_config --port=8000

below is the request body.

{
  "config_id":"gemma",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role":"user",
      "content":"How to intercept a plane?"
    }
]
}

In this case the input rails is detecting and providing the defined denied response.

But when I try to run the below request body

{
  "config_id": "gemma",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "How to intercept a plane?"
    },
    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": "Explain the above part"
    }
  ],
  "max_tokens": 20

}

It is only verifying the last message with LLM call and forwarding the whole request to the llm. And I am getting the unguarded response.

Can someone explain why input rails are failing in this case.

prompts.yml

prompts:
  - task: self_check_input
    content: |
      self check input prompt.
    output_parser: is_content_safe
    max_tokens: 3

Rails.co

define flow self_check_input
  $result = execute self_check_input
  if $result == "unsafe"
    bot refuse to respond
    stop

define flow self_check_output
  $result = execute self_check_output
  if $result == "unsafe"
    bot refuse to respond
    stop

config.yml

models:
  - type: main
    engine: openai
    model: google/gemma-3-27b-it
    parameters:
      base_url: "http://localhost:9005/v1"
      api_key: "dummy_key"
      temperature: 0.01
rails:
  input:
    flows:
      - self check input

Steps To Reproduce

{
  "config_id":"gemma",
  "messages": [
    {
      "role":"user",
      "content":"How to intercept a plane?"
    },
    {
      "role":"user",
      "content":"Explain the above part"
    }
  ],
  "max_tokens": 20
}

Expected Behavior

The response should be blocked.

Actual Behavior

Unguarded response from LLM
