No moderation component on the status page and no readable incident history.\n\n**OpenAI Moderation API.** Free, on any OpenAI project key. No prompt-injection, jailbreak or PII detection.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Mistral Moderation API\n\n1. Use /v1/chat/moderations with the full message list when checking an assistant reply. The raw endpoint has no context\n2. Read category_scores and set your own threshold per category. The booleans use Mistral's cut-offs\n3. Pin mistral-moderation-2603. The 2411 model was retired on 31 March 2026\n4. Move to a paid workspace or zero retention if the text you screen shouldn't train models\n5. For a Mistral-hosted agent, set the moderation_llm_v2 guardrail with block_on_error true and skip the separate call\n\n### OpenAI Moderation API\n\n1. Read category_scores rather than flagged alone. The default thresholds are OpenAI's\n2. Pin omni-moderation-2024-09-26 if the scores feed a decision you audit. The latest alias will move\n3. Send an array of inputs in one call and match results by index to stay under the per-minute limit\n4. Add a moderation object to a Responses call instead of a second request when you only need scores on the generation\n5. Pair it with a separate injection detector. A clean result says nothing about a hidden instruction in a tool result\n\n## Other comparisons with Mistral Moderation API or OpenAI Moderation API\n\n- [Amazon Bedrock Guardrails vs Mistral Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-bedrock-guardrails-vs-mistral-moderation.md)\n- [Amazon Bedrock Guardrails vs OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/amazon-bedrock-guardrails-vs-openai-moderation.md)\n- [Azure AI Content Safety (Prompt Shields) vs Mistral Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-ai-content-safety-vs-mistral-moderation.md)\n- [Azure AI Content Safety (Prompt Shields) vs OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-ai-content-safety-vs-openai-moderation.md)\n- [Google Cloud Model Armor vs Mistral Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-model-armor-vs-mistral-moderation.md)\n- [Google Cloud Model Armor vs OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/google-model-armor-vs-openai-moderation.md)\n- [Guardrails AI vs Mistral Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guardrails-ai-vs-mistral-moderation.md)\n- [Guardrails AI vs OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guardrails-ai-vs-openai-moderation.md)\n- [Lakera Guard (Check Point AI Guardrails) vs Mistral Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lakera-guard-vs-mistral-moderation.md)\n- [Lakera Guard (Check Point AI Guardrails) vs OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lakera-guard-vs-openai-moderation.md)\n- [Mistral Moderation API vs NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/mistral-moderation-vs-nemo-guardrails.md)\n- [NVIDIA NeMo Guardrails vs OpenAI Moderation API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/nemo-guardrails-vs-openai-moderation.md)\n",
