+    "\n",
+    "## Understanding Inputs and Message Roles\n",
+    "\n",
+    "LangChain's LLM interfaces typically operate on structed **chat messages**, each tagged with a role (`system`, `user`, or `assistant`)\n",
+    "\n",
+    "### Roles and their Security Contexts\n",
+    "\n",
+    "| **Role** | **Description** |\n",
+    "| -------- | --------------- |\n",
+    "| `System` | Sets the behavior, rules, or personality of the model |\n",
+    "| `User` | Contains end-user input. This is where prompt injection is most likely to occur. |\n",
+    "| `Assisstant` | Output from the model, potentially based on previous inputs. |\n",
+    "\n",
+    "The security risk lies in the fact that LLMs rely on delimiter patterns  (e.g. `[INST]...[/INST]`, `<<SYS>>...<</SYS>>`) to distinguish roles. If a user manually includes these patterns, they can try to break out of their role and impersonate or override the system prompt.\n",
+    "\n",
+    "### Prompt Injection & Escape Risks\n",
+    "\n",
+    "| **Attack Type** | **Description** |\n",
+    "| --------------- | --------------- |\n",
+    "| `Prompt Injection` | User tries to override or hijack the system prompt by including role-style content. |\n",

+    "### Defense Using LangChain's `sanitize` Tool\n",
+    "\n",
+    "To defend against these attacks, LangChain provides a `sanitize` module that can be used to validate and clean user input.\n",
+    "\n",
+    "```python\n",
+    "from langchain_core.tools import sanitize\n",
+    "```\n",
+    "\n",
+    "#### Step 1: Validate Input\n",
+    "\n",
+    "You can check if the user is trying to inject or escape by using the `validate_input()` function. This will return a `False` if suspicious patterns (like `[INST]`, `<<SYS>>`, or `<!--...-->`) are detected and not properly escaped.\n",

+    "#### Step 2: Sanitize Input\n",

+    "If you want to remove any potentially unsafe delimiter tokens, use `sanitize_input()`. This strips known system or instruction markers unless they are safely escaped.\n",

+    "```python\n",
+    "sanitized_prompt = sanitize.sanitize_input(user_prompt)\n",
+    "```\n",

+    "#### Optional: Support Escaped Delimiters\n",
+    "\n",
+    "If you want users to intentionally include delimiters for valid use cases (e.g. educational tools), they can use **safe escape syntax** like:\n",
+    "\n",
+    "```text\n",
+    "[%INST%] safely include delimiter [%/INST%]\n",

+    "\n",
+    "Always keep system messages, user input, and tool outputs **strictly seperated** in code, not just in prose or templates.\n",
+    "\n",
+    "### Sanitize File Inputs\n",
+    "\n",
+    "When accepting uploaded documents (PDFs, DOCX, etc.), consider:\n",
