# Toxicity

**Purpose:** The Toxicity Scanner is designed to identify and flag content that exhibits toxic or harmful behavior, such as hate speech, threats, or harassment.

**Functionality:** It employs natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze text inputs and determine the presence of toxic language. This includes assessing the tone, context, and semantic meaning of the text to identify potentially harmful content.

**Implementation:** The scanner utilizes a combination of machine learning algorithms and pre-trained models to recognize patterns indicative of toxicity. It may employ techniques such as sentiment analysis, keyword matching, and context analysis to accurately detect toxic behavior.

**Usage:** The Toxicity Scanner can be integrated into agents to automatically moderate user-generated content and maintain a safe and respectful environment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aicrisk.com/admin/agent-scanner-defaults/toxicity.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
