solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [PydanticAI] ContentFilterError "Content filter triggered. Finish reason: '...'" on an empty response with finish_reason content_filter
Recommended action: Catch ContentFilterError, inspect body/provider_details, rephrase input or adjust provider safety settings where allowed; do not blindly retry the same prompt.
Option: Handle ContentFilterError explicitly [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Any provider with safety filtering
Steps:
1. except ContentFilterError as e: log e.body
2. Adjust prompt/safety settings
Expected: Filtered responses are handled instead of crashing
