# Guardrails

<Tip>
  Guardrails is popular library for custom validators for LLM applications. The following validators are supported as evals in Athina.

  We right now support the following validators as evals:

  * Safe for work
  * Not gibberish
  * Contains no sensitive topics

  Read more about it [here](https://hub.guardrailsai.com/)
