The rest_sanitize_request_arg() function is used to sanitize the value of a request argument before it is used to make a REST request. This function ensures that the value is a string and that it does not contain any invalid characters.

rest_sanitize_request_arg( mixed $value, WP_REST_Request $request, string $param ) #

function rest_sanitize_request_arg( $value, $request, $param ) {
	$attributes = $request->get_attributes();
	if ( ! isset( $attributes['args'][ $param ] ) || ! is_array( $attributes['args'][ $param ] ) ) {
		return $value;
	}
	$args = $attributes['args'][ $param ];

	return rest_sanitize_value_from_schema( $value, $args, $param );
