Response guards control how the system handles large or unexpected payloads to maintain predictable failure behavior.
The default response guard block blocks oversized payloads to maintain
predictable failure behavior. You should only enable trim when client
applications can safely handle truncated arrays without causing functional issues. Never
disable the response guard in a production environment unless upstream payload sizes are
strictly controlled and audited to ensure compliance and prevent unpredictable
failures.
