Content Filtering Policies
Published February 27, 2026 · Last updated March 7, 2026 · 2 min read
This guide walks you through creating content policies that control what your workspace's AI agents can generate or process.
Prerequisites: Workspace Owner or Admin permissions. Content policies are a workspace-level setting — project-level members can't create or modify them.
Find Content Policies
-
Click your workspace name in the top-left corner, then select Settings.
-
Click the Content Policies tab.
You'll see any existing policies, each with a toggle to activate or deactivate it.
Create a Policy
-
Click New Policy.
-
Choose a starting point: an industry template that comes with pre-configured rules, or Custom Policy to start from scratch. Templates preview their included rules before you commit.
-
Give your policy a name and an optional description.
-
Click Create Policy.
Your new policy starts inactive. Toggle the switch next to its name to activate it.
Add Rules
Rules define what a policy enforces. Click the policy name to open its detail view, then click Add Rule.
Each rule has these fields:
-
Action — The rule type:
- Topic Restriction prevents content generation on a specific subject.
- Keyword Block flags or blocks output containing specific terms.
- Content Pattern uses a regex pattern to catch structured data like SSNs.
- Required Disclaimer ensures specific language is included when a topic comes up.
-
Severity — Warn flags the content but still generates it. Block refuses to produce it.
-
Description — A short label for what this rule detects.
-
Pattern (optional) — A regex for Content Pattern rules.
-
Keywords (optional) — Comma-separated terms to match.
-
User message — Text shown when this rule triggers.
Click Add Rule to save. You can click any existing rule to edit it, or delete it from the rule list.
Examples
PII protection — Add Content Pattern rules with regex for SSNs and credit card numbers, set to Block. Layer in Keyword Block rules for terms like "social security" set to Warn.
Industry compliance — Start from a template. Templates come pre-loaded with rules for common regulatory requirements. Review the included rules, adjust severity levels, and add organization-specific terms.
Who Can Manage Policies
Only workspace Owners and Admins see the Content Policies tab. Active policies apply workspace-wide — every project and every agent follows them.
