Azure OpenAI Prompt Shields rejects prompts whose content merely looks like a
jailbreak attempt. For a memory system that compresses arbitrary tool output
this fires on ordinary material — measured against a gpt-5.4-mini deployment,
a SECURITY.md that only *describes* prompt injection is enough:
400 {"error":{"code":"content_filter", "innererror":
{"code":"ResponsibleAIPolicyViolation",
"content_filter_result":{"jailbreak":{"detected":true,"filtered":true}}}}}
ResilientProvider counted every throw as a provider failure, so three filtered
observations inside the 60s window opened the breaker and the next 30s of
compressions failed with `circuit_breaker_open` — including all the
unproblematic ones. A single awkward file took a whole batch down.
A content filter rejection is a property of that one payload, not a health
signal about the provider, so skip recordFailure() for it. The call still
fails; only the blast radius changes. Verified end to end: five filtered
observations followed by a harmless one now yield five failures and one
successful compression, with no circuit_breaker_open in between.
Kept deliberately narrow. Arguably no 4xx should count toward the breaker,
but that is a larger behavioural change and the filter case is the one with
evidence behind it.

Restrict payload-rejection detection to the Azure 400 error shape.
OpenAIProvider includes the response status and arbitrary response text in its error message. If a non-400 provider error contains content_filter or ResponsibleAIPolicyViolation, isPayloadRejection returns true, so ResilientProvider.call skips CircuitBreaker.recordFailure(). Repeated failures can therefore leave the breaker closed. Require status 400 and the structured Azure error codes, and add a regression test for a non-400 error containing either token.

Review feedback on rohitg00#1277. The block restated the failure chain, which the code and the linked issue already carry. What is not derivable from the source is why these rejections show up at all: Azure Prompt Shields fires on ordinary documentation, so they are frequent rather than exceptional — and that is the whole reason for treating them separately. Three lines now, pointing at rohitg00#1276 for the measurements. Signed-off-by: David Kaulig <13939481+dKaulig@users.noreply.github.com>

Trimmed in the follow-up commit — though not removed entirely, so here is the reasoning in case you want it gone completely. CONTRIBUTING draws the line at "no comments that restate what the code does; only write a comment when the why is non-obvious." Most of that block was indeed restatement: the failure chain is in the PR body and in #1276, and The part I kept is the bit a reader cannot derive from the source: that these rejections are frequent, not exceptional.

Fixes #1276.
What
ResilientProvider.call()callsrecordFailure()on every throw. Azure content filter rejections are throws, so three of them inside the failure window open the breaker and the next 30s of compressions fail withcircuit_breaker_open— including observations that have nothing wrong with them.A content filter rejection is a property of one payload, not a health signal about the provider. This skips
recordFailure()for it. The call still fails; only the blast radius changes.Why this fires often in practice
Azure's Prompt Shields flags input that looks like a jailbreak attempt, and a memory system compresses arbitrary tool output. Measured against a
gpt-5.4-minideployment with the default filter, in the prompt shapebuildCompressionPrompt()actually produces: source code, error logs and credentials all pass, but injection-style text is rejected — and so is aSECURITY.mdthat merely describes prompt injection. Ordinary documentation is enough to trigger it. Details and the fullcontent_filter_resultare in #1276.How to verify
test/resilient-content-filter.test.ts:isPayloadRejection()recognisescontent_filter/ResponsibleAIPolicyViolationand does not misclassify 503s, timeouts or socket errorsclosedcircuit_breaker_openConfirmed end to end as well: five filtered observations followed by a harmless one now yield five
content_filterfailures and one successful compression, with nocircuit_breaker_openin between. Before the change the harmless one failed too.Scope
Deliberately narrow. There is a reasonable argument that no 4xx should count toward the breaker, since none of them indicate the provider is unhealthy — but that is a larger behavioural change, and the filter case is the one I have evidence for.
isPayloadRejection()is exported so that rule has somewhere to grow if you want it.Summary by CodeRabbit
