Endpoints

Three ways to call it

/prompt and /output are convenience shortcuts for /v1/scan with kind fixed to that value.

Method	Path	Purpose
`POST`	`/v1/scan`	Scan text; specify `kind` in the body (`"prompt"` or `"output"`).
`POST`	`/v1/scan/prompt`	Scan text as a user prompt.
`POST`	`/v1/scan/output`	Scan text as model-generated output.

Request body

JSON

{
  "text": "string, required — the content to scan",
  "kind": "prompt | output, optional — defaults to \"prompt\"",
  "system_prompt": "string, optional — used by some output-side checks",
  "context": {}
}

Response body

safe (boolean), overall_risk_score (0–1), recommended_action ("allow" | "warn" | "block"), and categories — a per-category risk score, each 0–1, where an unflagged category reads 0.

Category reference

jailbreak_or_instruction_override

Attempts to override, bypass, or escape prior instructions (prompt injection, jailbreaks).

sensitive_data_exposure

Credentials, secrets, API keys, or system-prompt leakage in the content.

pii_presence

Personally identifiable information (email, phone, government ID, payment card, etc.).

toxicity_or_abusive_content

Toxic, abusive, or otherwise unsafe language.

malicious_code_or_command

Destructive or dangerous commands/code (filesystem deletion, RCE patterns).

tool_or_agent_manipulation

Attempts to manipulate an agent's tools, permissions, or autonomy.

data_poisoning

Attempts to poison retrieved context or a knowledge base with hidden instructions.

obfuscation_or_evasion

Encoding, obfuscation, or other evasion techniques used to disguise content.

Errors

Status codes

Every error response has the same shape: { "detail": "human-readable description" }

Status	Meaning
`400`	Malformed request — e.g. missing, empty, or invalid `text` field.
`401`	Missing or invalid API key.
`413`	`text` exceeds the maximum allowed length.
`404`	Unknown route.

Rate limits & versioning

Good to know

Rate limits are account-specific and communicated when your API key is issued. This document describes API version v1; backwards-incompatible changes will be introduced under a new version path, and v1 will keep behaving as documented here.
