Azure AI Content Safety SDK for Python

Detect harmful user-generated and AI-generated content in applications.

Installation

pip install azure-ai-contentsafety

Environment Variables

CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com
CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY=<your-api-key>

Authentication

API Key

from azure.ai.contentsafety import ContentSafetyClient
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
import os

client = ContentSafetyClient(
    endpoint=os.environ["CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT"],
    credential=AzureKeyCredential(os.environ["CONTENT_SAFETY_KEY"])
)

Entra ID

from azure.ai.contentsafety import ContentSafetyClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

client = ContentSafetyClient(
    endpoint=os.environ["CONTENT_SAFETY_ENDPOINT"],
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)

Analyze Text

from azure.ai.contentsafety import ContentSafetyClient
from azure.ai.contentsafety.models import AnalyzeTextOptions, TextCategory
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential

client = ContentSafetyClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key))

request = AnalyzeTextOptions(text="Your text content to analyze")
response = client.analyze_text(request)

# Check each category
for category in [TextCategory.HATE, TextCategory.SELF_HARM, 
                 TextCategory.SEXUAL, TextCategory.VIOLENCE]:
    result = next((r for r in response.categories_analysis 
                   if r.category == category), None)
    if result:
        print(f"{category}: severity {result.severity}")

Analyze Image

from azure.ai.contentsafety import ContentSafetyClient
from azure.ai.contentsafety.models import AnalyzeImageOptions, ImageData
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
import base64

client = ContentSafetyClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key))

# From file
with open("image.jpg", "rb") as f:
    image_data = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode("utf-8")

request = AnalyzeImageOptions(
    image=ImageData(content=image_data)
)

response = client.analyze_image(request)

for result in response.categories_analysis:
    print(f"{result.category}: severity {result.severity}")

Image from URL

from azure.ai.contentsafety.models import AnalyzeImageOptions, ImageData

request = AnalyzeImageOptions(
    image=ImageData(blob_url="https://example.com/image.jpg")
)

response = client.analyze_image(request)

Text Blocklist Management

Create Blocklist

from azure.ai.contentsafety import BlocklistClient
from azure.ai.contentsafety.models import TextBlocklist
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential

blocklist_client = BlocklistClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key))

blocklist = TextBlocklist(
    blocklist_name="my-blocklist",
    description="Custom terms to block"
)

result = blocklist_client.create_or_update_text_blocklist(
    blocklist_name="my-blocklist",
    options=blocklist
)

Add Block Items

from azure.ai.contentsafety.models import AddOrUpdateTextBlocklistItemsOptions, TextBlocklistItem

items = AddOrUpdateTextBlocklistItemsOptions(
    blocklist_items=[
        TextBlocklistItem(text="blocked-term-1"),
        TextBlocklistItem(text="blocked-term-2")
    ]
)

result = blocklist_client.add_or_update_blocklist_items(
    blocklist_name="my-blocklist",
    options=items
)

Analyze with Blocklist

from azure.ai.contentsafety.models import AnalyzeTextOptions

request = AnalyzeTextOptions(
    text="Text containing blocked-term-1",
    blocklist_names=["my-blocklist"],
    halt_on_blocklist_hit=True
)

response = client.analyze_text(request)

if response.blocklists_match:
    for match in response.blocklists_match:
        print(f"Blocked: {match.blocklist_item_text}")

Severity Levels

Text analysis returns 4 severity levels (0, 2, 4, 6) by default. For 8 levels (0-7):

from azure.ai.contentsafety.models import AnalyzeTextOptions, AnalyzeTextOutputType

request = AnalyzeTextOptions(
    text="Your text",
    output_type=AnalyzeTextOutputType.EIGHT_SEVERITY_LEVELS
)

Harm Categories

| Category | Description |

|----------|-------------|

| Hate | Attacks based on identity (race, religion, gender, etc.) |

| Sexual | Sexual content, relationships, anatomy |

| Violence | Physical harm, weapons, injury |

| SelfHarm | Self-injury, suicide, eating disorders |

Severity Scale

| Level | Text Range | Image Range | Meaning |

|-------|------------|-------------|---------|

| 0 | Safe | Safe | No harmful content |

| 2 | Low | Low | Mild references |

| 4 | Medium | Medium | Moderate content |

| 6 | High | High | Severe content |

Client Types

| Client | Purpose |

|--------|---------|

| ContentSafetyClient | Analyze text and images |

| BlocklistClient | Manage custom blocklists |

Best Practices

  • Use blocklists for domain-specific terms
  • Set severity thresholds appropriate for your use case
  • Handle multiple categories — content can be harmful in multiple ways
  • Use halt_on_blocklist_hit for immediate rejection
  • Log analysis results for audit and improvement
  • Consider 8-severity mode for finer-grained control
  • Pre-moderate AI outputs before showing to users

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take lingxling/azure-ai-contentsafety-py from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
