Multiple custom categories in Content Safety

If I've trained multiple custom categories in my content safety service, is there a way to evaluate my text against all those categories in a single call, or do I have to make a separate call for every single category? Relatedly, can I make a single call to evaluate my custom categories and the azure default categories (violence, self harm, etc.)?

    Hi Maria L Gullickson

    Currently, the Azure AI Content Safety service does not support evaluating text against multiple custom categories in a single API call. You would need to make separate calls for each custom category. There is no mention of the ability to evaluate custom categories alongside Azure's default categories (such as violence or self-harm) in a single call either.

    Kindly refer below link: custom-categories

    Thank You.
