AI Content Safety

Detects harmful content and prompt attacks.

Problem it solves: LLMs can produce unsafe output or follow injected instructions.

Where it sits: Before and/or after the LLM.

When to use

  • User-facing generative features.

Failure modes

  • Over-blocking hurts usefulness; under-blocking creates risk.

Metrics to watch

  • Block rate
  • False-positive rate
  • Added latency

Configuration in Labs (illustrative defaults)

  • Instances (count) = 2 — Identical copies behind this logical component. Capacity scales linearly in this model.
  • Capacity per instance (req/s) = 1000 — Maximum requests one instance completes per second before it saturates.
  • Base service time (ms) = 15 — Processing time per request at zero load. Queueing adds to this as utilisation rises.

Vendor examples (pattern only): Azure managed service. Simulated as a generic “Guardrails / content filter”.
