How Can I Disable Automatic Prompt Expansion in DALL·E 3 API?

Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I’ve noticed that when I send a simple prompt like "generate an image of a horse", the DALL·E 3 API automatically rewrites it into a more detailed version, for example: "Generate a detailed picture of a wild horse galloping across a vast, grassy plain. The horse should be a sturdy breed…"
Is there any way to prevent or control this automatic prompt enhancement?

Overview
Currently, there is no supported way to completely disable the automatic prompt rewriting in DALL·E 3. The system always adjusts the prompt to enhance safety and quality.
Workaround
If you need output closer to your original, less-detailed prompt, you can include explicit instructions in your prompt. For example, appending:
PLAINTEXTI NEED to test how the tool works with extremely simple prompts. DO NOT add any detail, just use it AS-IS:
This instructs the system to minimally modify the prompt, though it might not guarantee an exact output.
Conclusion
At this time, the rewriting behavior is built into DALL·E 3 and cannot be fully turned off. Adjusting your prompt as described is the best available method to control the degree of detail.
