Every moderation job evaluates content against three built-in categories. Each category is a boolean — true if detected, false if not.

Categories

NSFW

Sexually explicit or not-safe-for-work content detected. Includes nudity, sexual acts, and other adult material.

AI Adult General

Catch-all classifier for adult content not covered by the other built-in categories.

Underage

Content involving minors detected. The job is rejected like any other category violation. Repeated detections may be reviewed manually and can result in account termination at our discretion — see account termination.

Category output

Categories appear in the top-level categories object of a completed job. Per-client custom categories are nested under categories.custom:
categories.custom is only included when at least one custom category ran for the job. If you haven’t configured any custom categories, the custom key is omitted entirely.

How categories affect decisions

If any category (built-in or custom) is true, is_prohibited is true. All categories must be false for is_prohibited: false. See decision logic for details. For video moderation jobs, categories are merged across frames — if any single frame triggers a category, the entire video is flagged.
