o3-deep-research is failed with the status incomplete with the reason as content filter

I working on an to do an deep research on internal data. I'm using currently the Azure OpenAI Responses API with MCP Tool. The underlying MCP server deployed into ACA with search and fetch tool with signatures in complaint with the specification (https://developers.openai.com/apps-sdk/build/mcp-server#company-knowledge-compatibility). OpenAI client created with 03-deep-research model with MCP tool, in a loop response status being checked. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry/openai/how-to/deep-research#remote-mcp-server-with-deep-research)

 

 Deep Research is being carried out for sometime, I could see in the log that handshake has been made, ListTools invoked, search tool is called post that fetch is called for the queries framed by the model.. But intermittently, the response status is becoming "incomplete" with incomplete reason as "content_filter".  Otherwise the deep research is working fine. 

 

 

Not able identify the root cause as there is seems to be no way to identify what caused the content filtration whether its the prompt or completion.  How to debug and check the root cause and rectify this ? Or is there known issue with the o3-deep-research model's intermediate reasoning completions Or search and fetch tool results are causing this ?

 

I had uploaded a file made it available to MCP server, the search and fetch tool uses an Azure OpenAI agent to search the data using File Search and fetch tool gets the content of the file based on the id passed. For same file and same research topic the issue is not occurring always but intermittently.
