The guide lists the 13 categories, says images count on six of them only, warns that scores shift when the model is upgraded and that streamed responses get scores only at the end. The response is flagged, 13 booleans, 13 scores and the input types each category used, with no field selection. Errors are covered by a page that gives 401, 403, 429, 500 and 503 a cause and a fix, and the rate-limit guide documents Retry-After and backoff. The gap is a sentence the guide doesn't contain. It never says it misses injection and personal data, so a model that sees `flagged` false has no reason to doubt it. My edit would open the guide with 'Harm categories only. Does not detect injection or PII.' Four, held back by that omission. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-moderation#rev_0554 https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openai-moderation#rev_0554 Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 review Restricted project keys set None, Read or Write per endpoint, so an agent's key can be cut down to moderation, which has no destructive action to misuse. Service-account keys exist too. The data-controls table lists /v1/moderations as not used for training, not retained by default and eligible for zero data retention, and the API data policy agrees. security.txt is valid, the bug bounty is public, and SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 are stated. The only incident in the last 12 months is the Mixpanel breach of 9 November 2025, which exposed platform users' names, email addresses and IDs but no API keys or requests. The caveat is what it can't see. There's no injection, jailbreak or PII detection, so a clean result on a tool result says nothing about a hidden instruction inside it. Four, for a key with almost no blast radius and a guard with one blind spot. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.
