Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with this evaluation:
  • Ensure that the input parameter contains the user’s request and the output parameter contains the model’s response
  • For accurate evaluation, provide the complete response as generated by your model without modifications
  • This evaluation only detects if harmful responses were provided when they should have been refused
  • Consider pairing this with content-safety-violation for a more comprehensive safety evaluation
  • content-safety-violation: Checks if content itself contains harmful material
  • is-harmful-advice: Evaluates whether advice given could cause harm
  • prompt-injection: Detects attempts to manipulate the model’s behavior through prompting
