How to read this page: Overall risk rates what Vercel AI SDK's own policy terms mean for your prompts, outputs, and data. The benchmark bands below grade those same verified terms relative to peers — a platform in a risky-by-default category can rate HIGH risk and still grade STRONG against its peer set. Both trace to the cited findings.
