The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.

Several other remote safety/adversarial dataset loaders include an explicit content warning (and often the dataset license) in the class docstring. Since BeaverTails is an unsafe-content dataset, please add a similar warning (and license if known) so users understand the risk/constraints when discovering this loader via the provider registry.

Suggested change
Explicit Content Warning:
This dataset contains unsafe and potentially harmful content, including but not
limited to violence, hate, abuse, self-harm, and other sensitive topics. It is
intended for safety and alignment research and evaluation only and MUST NOT be
used directly in production or user-facing applications.
