Greetings! I tried adding Content Filter to Azure AI Foundry (Classic experience) and it doesn't work.
Steps to reproduce:
- Created an AI Agent with Azure AI Foundry using a pre-created gpt-4.1 model deployment
- Create a content filter (both input/output are set to blocking-medium).
- Apply content filter to gpt-4.1 model deployment that is used by the AI agent.
- Save the content filter.
I tried triggering every category from the filters, and unfortunately the filters never trigger. I expect the agent to give a fallback reply and have some logs that mention that a content filter has been triggered, but the agent just replies following the prompt and behaving normally.
I tried both in the Playground and using API. But no luck.
Please help!
