Azure AI Content Safety — TypeScript SDK Quick Reference

Condensed from azure-ai-contentsafety-ts. Full patterns (blocklist CRUD, image moderation, severity thresholds) in the azure-ai-contentsafety-ts plugin skill if installed.

Install

npm install @azure-rest/ai-content-safety @azure/identity @azure/core-auth

Quick Start

import ContentSafetyClient, { isUnexpected } from "@azure-rest/ai-content-safety";
import { AzureKeyCredential } from "@azure/core-auth";
const client = ContentSafetyClient(endpoint, new AzureKeyCredential(key));

Non-Obvious Patterns

• REST client — ContentSafetyClient is a function, not a class
• Text: client.path("/text:analyze").post({ body: { text, categories: [...] } })
• Image: client.path("/image:analyze").post({ body: { image: { content: base64 } } })
• Blocklist create: .path("/text/blocklists/{blocklistName}", name).patch({...})
• API key import: AzureKeyCredential from @azure/core-auth (not @azure/identity)

Best Practices

1. Always use isUnexpected() — type guard for error handling
2. Set appropriate thresholds — different categories may need different severity levels
3. Use blocklists for domain-specific terms to supplement AI detection
4. Log moderation decisions — keep audit trail for compliance
5. Handle edge cases — empty text, very long text, unsupported image formats
