FreemiumGuardrail API that filters harmful text and images in AI apps
What is Azure AI Content Safety?
Azure AI Content Safety is a Microsoft service that screens text and images for violence, hate, sexual and self-harm content and lets you set severity thresholds. It replaced Azure Content Moderator and is aimed at teams shipping generative AI apps.
Beyond category filters, it can be trained on examples to block custom content types, and Prompt Shields detect direct and indirect prompt injection and jailbreak attempts. Groundedness detection checks whether a model's answer is supported by its source material and can correct hallucinated claims.
Microsoft now presents it as part of the Foundry Control Plane, so the same guardrails can be attached to models deployed in Microsoft Foundry. It is also available as a standalone API for moderating user-generated content.
