How it works

Safety systems combine policy rules, classifiers, and human feedback to reduce harmful outputs.

Why it matters

Safety concepts reduce harmful outputs and protect users.

Common use cases

  • Filtering sensitive or unsafe requests.
  • Adding guardrails around tools and actions.
  • Redacting private information in logs and outputs.

Example

HTTPS requests to the API.

Pitfalls and tips
