Reading Trust & Safety output
What you can safely infer from a result - and what you must not.
Intended task
Tell your moderation pipeline which documented harm categories a piece of text matches - the policy routing decision stays with you.
Input requirements
text- the only field analyzed; up to 4,096 Unicode code points. Over the limit is rejected withinput_too_long, never truncated.language- must be a language this analyzer supports. Unsupported codes are rejected with400 unsupported_language, never analyzed as a different language.analyzers- include"trust-safety"; up to 2 analyzers per request, one billed run each.- No context beyond
text- no user IDs, history, profiles, or attachments are read or inferred. - Works on the submitted text alone - the analyzer never sees the author's account, history, or reputation.
Ordinary positive
“You are an idiot and everyone on this server hates you. Keep talking and I will post your home address.”
Safe inference: The text matched two documented harm categories. You can route it to your harassment/doxxing policy lane and cite the exact labels in a statement of reasons.
Confusing negative · Quotation
“The commenter told her "I will post your home address" - our report on doxxing in gaming forums.”
What happens: A privacy/doxxing signal can still fire. The analyzer scores the submitted text as written - quoted abuse language inside reporting or commentary can match the same documented pattern.
Why it's tricky: A signal means "this text contains language matching the documented pattern," not "the author intended harm." Whether quotation context matters is a policy decision - keep human review in the loop for reported-speech surfaces.
What you can safely infer
- Which documented indicators the text matched, and at what signal-match strength.
- That the same input on the same pinned configuration replays identically - the receipt records which configuration produced the result.
- That a category-level signal with label-level children gives you both the policy area and the specific behavior.
What you must not infer
- ✕That the author intended harm - intent is not in the text.
- ✕That quoted or reported abuse means the author endorses it.
- ✕That an empty signals list clears the content - "not detected" is never "safe."
- ✕Anything about the author's account or history - the analyzer never sees it.
