When NOT to use vigil-llm
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- If your application does not require high security against malicious inputs or if the risks of prompt injection are minimal due to controlled input sources, vigil-llm might be unnecessary.
- For projects that focus on optimizing output speed rather than input robustness, other tools might be more appropriate as vigil-llm could add significant processing overhead.
