<h3>Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p><code>EmpathyEvaluator::evaluateScenario()</code> builds its AI request tags<br>
internally in <code>buildRequestTags()</code> and passes them to<br>
<code>$provider-&gt;chat($input, $model_id, $tags)</code>. There is no parameter<br>
and no alter hook, so a calling module cannot add a tag to the request.</p>
<p>This matters because provider plugins use tags as their control channel. In<br>
<a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/ai_provider_openai">AI Provider OpenAI</a>,<br>
<code>OpenAiProvider::moderationEndpoints()</code> skips the OpenAI moderation<br>
call when the request carries a <code>skip_moderation</code> tag:</p>
<pre><div class="codeblock"><code class="language-php">if (!$this-&gt;moderation || in_array('skip_moderation', $tags)) {<br> return;<br>}<p>We call <code>evaluateScenario()</code> over our own authored clinical and HR<br>
ethics scenarios to build a baseline of model answers for comparison. Several are<br>
refused with:</p>
<blockquote><p>
</p><pre>AiUnsafePromptException: The prompt was flagged by the<br>moderation model.</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The refused scenarios cover triage under scarcity, a safeguarding disclosure<br>
by a minor, and reporting duties for assault injuries. These are legitimate<br>
professional training material, authored and reviewed by the site owner. They<br>
are not untrusted user input.</p>
<p>Because the tag cannot be injected, the only ways to get those scenarios<br>
evaluated are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Set <code>ai_provider_openai.settings:moderation</code> to <code>FALSE</code>,<br>
which disables moderation for <em>every</em> OpenAI call on the site — including<br>
calls that score free text submitted by anonymous visitors. That is precisely the<br>
input moderation should apply to, so this trades away the wrong risk.</li>
<li>Patch AI Empathy locally and carry the patch.</li>
</ol>
<p>Neither is a good option for a site that wants moderation on untrusted input<br>
and off for its own vetted corpus.</p>
<h3>Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Add an optional <code>$additional_tags</code> parameter to<br>
<code>evaluateScenario()</code>, merged with the tags it already builds:</p>
<pre><div class="codeblock"><code class="language-php">public function evaluateScenario(<br> AiEmpathyScenarioInterface $scenario,<br> ?string $provider_model_option = NULL,<br> int $run_number = 1,<br> ?int $session_id = NULL,<br> ?string $additional_context = NULL,<br> ?string $benchmark_id = NULL,<br> array $additional_tags = [],<br>): AiEmpathyResult {<br> // ...<br> $tags = array_merge(<br> $this-&gt;buildRequestTags($scenario, $run_number),<br> $additional_tags<br> );<br>}<p>Appending is backwards compatible: the parameter is optional and defaults to<br>
an empty array, so existing callers are unaffected and the tags AI Empathy relies<br>
on for its own observability are still present and still first.</p>
<p>An alter hook or event on the tag list would also solve this and would be more<br>
flexible for other use cases. The parameter is proposed instead because it is<br>
smaller, and because it does not require a caller to implement an event<br>
subscriber in order to add one string.</p>
<h3>Remaining tasks</h3>
<ul>
<li>Add the parameter and merge it into the tag list</li>
<li>Accept and forward the same parameter from <code>evaluateScenarioBatch()</code></li>
<li>Document that provider plugins may treat tags as control flags, with<br>
<code>skip_moderation</code> as the worked example</li>
<li>Test coverage asserting caller-supplied tags reach the provider</li>
</ul>
<h3>User interface changes</h3>
<p>None.</p>
<h3>API changes</h3>
<p>None breaking. One new optional parameter with a default value, appended to<br>
the existing signature.</p>
<h3>Data model changes</h3>
<p>None.</p>
