## What it does

The command runs `gws modelarmor +sanitize-prompt` with a template. Pass prompt text with `--text`, or provide the full request body with `--json`. If neither option is set, input comes from stdin. The command description points to `+sanitize-response` for checking outbound responses.

You need Google Workspace CLI (`gws`) installed and authentication configured; check the latter with `gws auth status`. The instructions also require `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for authentication and security rules. If that file is missing, they direct you to create it with `gws generate-skills`. A full template resource name, such as `projects/PROJECT/locations/LOCATION/templates/TEMPLATE`, is required to run the check.

## Requirements
- Works with: Google Workspace

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command google-workspace/gws-modelarmor-sanitize-prompt
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/gws-modelarmor-sanitize-prompt.md` — Call it with /gws-modelarmor-sanitize-prompt. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/gws-modelarmor-sanitize-prompt.md` — Call it with /prompts:gws-modelarmor-sanitize-prompt. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/gws-modelarmor-sanitize-prompt.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/gws-modelarmor-sanitize-prompt.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/commands/google-workspace/gws-modelarmor-sanitize-prompt.md

## When to use it
- check a user prompt with a Model Armor template
- read prompt text from stdin for sanitization
- submit a full JSON request body instead of text

## Example prompts
- Check this prompt with the `projects/PROJECT/locations/LOCATION/templates/TEMPLATE` template.
- Read the prompt from stdin and run it through the specified template.
- Send the request body as JSON and run the Model Armor check.

# Google Workspace Modelarmor Sanitize Prompt

Execute Google Workspace Modelarmor Sanitize Prompt operations: $ARGUMENTS

## Prerequisites

- Google Workspace CLI (`gws`) must be installed
- Authentication configured: Run `gws auth status` to verify
- Review `gws modelarmor-sanitize-prompt --help` for all available commands

## Available Resources and Methods

# modelarmor +sanitize-prompt

> **PREREQUISITE:** Read `../gws-shared/SKILL.md` for auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, run `gws generate-skills` to create it.

Sanitize a user prompt through a Model Armor template

## Usage

```bash
gws modelarmor +sanitize-prompt --template <NAME>
```

## Flags

| Flag | Required | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `--template` | ✓ | — | Full template resource name (projects/PROJECT/locations/LOCATION/templates/TEMPLATE) |
| `--text` | — | — | Text content to sanitize |
| `--json` | — | — | Full JSON request body (overrides --text) |

## Examples

```bash
gws modelarmor +sanitize-prompt --template projects/P/locations/L/templates/T --text 'user input'
echo 'prompt' | gws modelarmor +sanitize-prompt --template ...
```

## Tips

- If neither --text nor --json is given, reads from stdin.
- For outbound safety, use +sanitize-response instead.

## See Also

- [gws-shared](../gws-shared/SKILL.md) — Global flags and auth
- [gws-modelarmor](../gws-modelarmor/SKILL.md) — All filter user-generated content for safety commands

## Usage

```bash
# List available resources and methods
gws modelarmor-sanitize-prompt --help

# Inspect method schema before calling
gws schema modelarmor-sanitize-prompt.<resource>.<method>

# Execute command with arguments
gws modelarmor-sanitize-prompt $ARGUMENTS
```

## Task

Execute the requested Modelarmor Sanitize Prompt operation: $ARGUMENTS

1. **Verify Prerequisites**
   - Check `gws` is installed: `gws --version`
   - Verify authentication: `gws auth status`
   - Review available commands: `gws modelarmor-sanitize-prompt --help`

2. **Inspect Method Schema**
   - Before calling any method, inspect its parameters
   - Use `gws schema` to understand required fields
   - Review parameter types and constraints

3. **Execute Operation**
   - Build command with appropriate flags
   - Use `--params` for query/path parameters
   - Use `--json` for request body
   - Handle pagination with `--max-results` or `--page-token`

4. **Error Handling**
   - Check command output for errors
   - Review API quotas and rate limits
   - Handle authentication issues
   - Retry transient failures
