Guardrails does not support streaming: on gateway endpoints it buffers the full response and returns a single non-streamed payload (on the REST API it logs but does not enforce); DLP response scanning also buffers the entire streamed response before release. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - HTTP status for Guardrails 2016/2017 is not stated in the docs read (DLP block documented as 400). Other error fragments: - Response blocked due to security configurations - Request content blocked due to DLP policy violations - Response content blocked due to DLP policy violations Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/9525fb5b8ab78c58bd5e941dea9fd75a366b6eac/src/content/docs/ai-gateway/features/guardrails/set-up-guardrail.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Blocked prompt -> code 2016 'Prompt blocked due to security configurations'; blocked response -> 2017. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/9525fb5b8ab78c58bd5e941dea9fd75a366b6eac/src/content/docs/ai-gateway/features/guardrails/usage-considerations.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Guardrails does not support streaming: gateway endpoints buffer and return a non-streamed payload; REST API does not enforce on streams; ~500 ms added latency. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/9525fb5b8ab78c58bd5e941dea9fd75a366b6eac/src/content/docs/ai-gateway/features/dlp/set-up-dlp.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): DLP block codes 2029 (request) and 2030 (response) with messages. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/cloudflare-docs/9525fb5b8ab78c58bd5e941dea9fd75a366b6eac/src/content/docs/ai-gateway/features/dlp/index.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): DLP response scanning buffers full streamed responses; Block replaces the provider response with a DLP error (status 400).
