Post-Call Rules

Use this to fail a request based on the output of an llm api call.

Quick Start​

Step 1: Create a file (e.g. post_call_rules.py)​

def my_custom_rule(input): # receives the model response 
    if len(input) < 5: 
      return {
            "decision": False,
            "message": "This violates LiteLLM Proxy Rules. Response too short"
      }
    return {"decision": True}   # message not required since, request will pass

Step 2. Point it to your proxy​

litellm_settings:
  post_call_rules: post_call_rules.my_custom_rule

Step 3. Start + test your proxy​

$ litellm /path/to/config.yaml
curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/v1/chat/completions' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' \
--data '{
  "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
  "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"What llm are you?"}],
  "temperature": 0.7,
  "max_tokens": 10,
}'

This will now check if a response is > len 5, and if it fails, it'll retry a call 3 times before failing.

Response that fail the rule​

This is the response from LiteLLM Proxy on failing a rule

{
  "error":
    {
      "message":"This violates LiteLLM Proxy Rules. Response too short",
      "type":null,
      "param":null,
      "code":500
    }
}
