ArcShield vs OpenAI Moderation API

OpenAI's Moderation API detects toxic, hateful, or sexual content. It does not detect prompt injection or jailbreaks. ArcShield is specialised for those.

When to use which?

• OpenAI Moderation → block profanity, harassment, violence.
• ArcShield → block "ignore previous instructions", role‑play attacks, multilingual jailbreaks.

Use both for full protection

Combine them: first run ArcShield to block prompt injections, then OpenAI Moderation to filter unsafe outputs. Your LLM stays safe.
