Prompt Injection

Recognizes patterns that may indicate a prompt injection attack or jailbreak attempt, protecting the system from malicious inputs. The detector scores the two attack types separately and reports which of them it triggered on, along with the confidence levels behind the decision. summary.injection_attack is the overall verdict — 1 when either attack type was detected, 0 when neither was. This is unchanged, so existing integrations keep working exactly as before. Which attack types fired is reported in details.injection_attack:

Field	Meaning
`detected_attacks`	The attack types that fired: `[]`, `["injection"]`, `["jailbreak"]`, or `["injection", "jailbreak"]`
`p_injection`	Confidence for the injection axis — an embedded directive trying to override the model’s instructions, persona or system prompt
`p_jailbreak`	Confidence for the jailbreak axis — a bypass technique (persona installation, fictional framing, false authority, encoding) applied to a refusal-worthy request
`attack`	The overall score, `max(p_injection, p_jailbreak)`
`safe`	The complement of `attack`

detected_attacks is non-empty exactly when summary.injection_attack is 1, so you can keep branching on the summary and read detected_attacks only when you need to know which type it was. All probabilities are strings fixed to 6 decimal places.

detected_attacks is populated on the text detect paths (including scan-url and scan-pdf, which extract text first). The image and audio endpoints report only the 0/1 summary verdict, because the multimodal model has no per-axis output.

Explanations

Set need_explanation: true to also get a one-sentence explanation of a confirmed attack in details.injection_attack. It costs an extra LLM call, never changes the verdict, and is "" when nothing was detected. It defaults to false for this detector — note that policy_violation defaults it to true, so the two behave differently when you omit the field. On credit-metered accounts enabling it doubles this detector’s cost; see Credits and Usage.
