Safety Classifier
A judgment layer that assesses risk levels before tool calls in AI coding tools, performing static and contextual analysis of parameters, paths, and command contents based on rules, heuristics, or lightweight models, and outputting a decision to allow, block, or require confirmation.

Adjusting the wording, for example replacing "recipe hack" with "recipe improvement", can reduce the probability of accidentally triggering the safety mechanism by using more neutral phrasing.
Safety classification models may be overly sensitive to semantic features such as "intrusion," "exposure," and "bypass" in descriptive language, and cooking steps happen to contain similar expressions.
Large-model safety alignment generally goes through supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and a separate safety classifier layer.
Safety classifiers are usually small models or rule systems separate from the main model, responsible for risk-scoring inputs and outputs, with common categories including violence, self-harm, and cyberattacks.
Descriptions in cooking steps such as "charred outside, raw inside" and "cut open to expose the interior" may be close to safety text in word-vector space, thereby triggering a misjudgment.
Claude Code moved the safety classifier from local to server-side.
A server-side classifier enables instant gradual rollout, A/B testing, and rollback for all users, and also facilitates centralized collection of interception samples to iterate the model.
Moving the classifier to the server side means call intents and parameters leave the local environment, so teams handling sensitive code need to include this in compliance assessments.
The security of current LLM Agents mainly relies on two lines of defense, alignment training and safety classifiers, but neither of these can rule out the possibility that a carefully constructed indirect prompt injection bypasses all checks.
In addition to RLHF, mainstream AI image generation models also employ safety classifiers that detect output content in real time during inference.
