Red Team Evaluation

AgentEval's Red Team module provides automated security evaluation for AI agents with probes based on OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS taxonomies.

Background: Why OWASP LLM Top 10 & MITRE ATLAS?

Industry-Standard Taxonomies

AgentEval RedTeam is built on two foundational cybersecurity taxonomies that provide credibility, interoperability, and compliance readiness:

OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025)

  • Source: OWASP LLM Top 10 Project
  • License: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)
  • Why: The de facto standard for LLM security risks, covering 10 critical vulnerability categories
  • Coverage: AgentEval covers 6 of top 10 risks (LLM01, LLM02, LLM05, LLM06, LLM07, LLM10) representing 60% of OWASP LLM Top 10
  • Attribution: Based on OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications. © OWASP Foundation. Licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.

MITRE ATLAS (Adversarial Threat Landscape for AI Systems)

  • Source: MITRE ATLAS Framework
  • License: Apache License 2.0
  • Why: Comprehensive ML/AI attack taxonomy with tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs) used by cybersecurity professionals worldwide
  • Coverage: 6 technique IDs mapped to attack implementations (AML.T0024, AML.T0037, AML.T0043, AML.T0045, AML.T0051, AML.T0054)
  • Attribution: Attack techniques classified using MITRE ATLAS framework. © 2023 The MITRE Corporation.

AgentEval's Approach: Original Implementation with Taxonomy Mapping

  1. Original Authorship: All 192 attack probes are originally written for AgentEval
  2. Taxonomy Mapping: Every attack maps to OWASP ID + MITRE ATLAS techniques for compliance
  3. Inspiration Sources: General LLM security research, public jailbreak patterns (DAN, STAN)
  4. Not Copied From: We do NOT copy prompts from garak, PyRIT, or specific papers
  5. Generate Reports: Export findings mapped to industry frameworks for SOC/compliance teams

Quick Start

using AgentEval.RedTeam;

// Simplest possible API - one line!
var result = await agent.QuickRedTeamScanAsync();

// Check results
Console.WriteLine($"Score: {result.OverallScore}%");
Console.WriteLine($"Verdict: {result.Verdict}");

// Use in tests with fluent assertions
result.Should()
    .HavePassed()
    .And()
    .HaveMinimumScore(80);

Attack Types

The MVP includes 9 core attack types covering the most critical OWASP LLM 2025 vulnerabilities:

Attack OWASP ID MITRE ATLAS Description Probes
PromptInjection LLM01 AML.T0051 Direct instruction override attempts 27
Jailbreak LLM01 AML.T0051, AML.T0054 Roleplay, DAN, hypothetical bypasses 24

Intensity Levels

Control the depth of evaluation with intensity levels:

Intensity Probes Use Case
Quick ~5-10 per attack Fast feedback during development
Moderate ~15-25 per attack Standard CI/CD evaluation
Comprehensive ~30-50 per attack Pre-release security audit
var result = await AttackPipeline
    .Create()
    .WithAllAttacks()
    .WithIntensity(Intensity.Comprehensive)
    .ScanAsync(agent);

Pipeline API

For advanced control, use the fluent pipeline builder:

var result = await AttackPipeline
    .Create()
    .WithAttack(Attack.PromptInjection)    // Specific attacks
    .WithAttack(Attack.Jailbreak)
    .WithIntensity(Intensity.Moderate)
    .WithTimeout(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5))
    .WithDelayBetweenProbes(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500)) // Rate limiting
    .WithFailFast()                         // Stop on first failure
    .WithProgress(new Progress<ScanProgress>(p => 
        Console.WriteLine($"{p.PercentComplete:F0}%")))
    .ScanAsync(agent);

Pipeline Options

[Fact]
public async Task Agent_ResistsSecurityAttacks()
{
    var agent = CreateYourAgent();
    var result = await agent.QuickRedTeamScanAsync();
    
    result.Should()

// Then inject IRedTeamRunner
public class MyService(IRedTeamRunner runner)
{
    public async Task<RedTeamResult> ScanAgentAsync(IEvaluableAgent agent)
    {
        var options = new ScanOptions { Intensity = Intensity.Quick };
        return await runner.ScanAsync(agent, options);
    }
}

Extension Methods

Convenient extension methods on IEvaluableAgent:

// Quick scan (all attacks, Quick intensity)
var result = await agent.QuickRedTeamScanAsync();

// Moderate scan (all attacks, Moderate intensity)
var result = await agent.ModerateRedTeamScanAsync(progress);

// Comprehensive scan (all attacks, Comprehensive intensity)
var result = await agent.ComprehensiveRedTeamScanAsync(progress);

// Specific attacks
var result = await agent.RedTeamAsync(Attack.PromptInjection, Attack.Jailbreak);

// Check single attack resistance

Best Practices

  1. Run Quick scans on every PR — Fast feedback loop
  2. Run Comprehensive pre-release — Thorough audit before deployment
  3. Set ASR thresholds — Fail builds if ASR exceeds acceptable limit
  4. Track scores over time — Detect security regressions
  5. Export SARIF to GitHub — Integrate with Security tab
  6. Test both secure and vulnerable agents — Validate your tests work

Samples

See the sample projects for complete working examples:

  • Sample 20: Basic Red Team Evaluation
  • Sample 21: Advanced Red Team Evaluation with Pipeline API
dotnet run --project samples/AgentEval.Samples -- 20
dotnet run --project samples/AgentEval.Samples -- 21

Progress Reporting

Track scan progress in real-time using the progress callback:

var progress = new Progress<ScanProgress>(p =>
{
    // Progress info
    Console.WriteLine($"{p.StatusEmoji} {p.PercentComplete:F1}% - {p.CurrentAttack}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Probes: {p.CompletedProbes}/{p.TotalProbes}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Resisted: {p.ResistedCount}, Succeeded: {p.SucceededCount}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Defense Rate: {p.CurrentSuccessRate:P1}");
    
    if (p.LastOutcome.HasValue)
        Console.WriteLine($"  Last: {p.LastOutcome.Value}");
});

var result = await AttackPipeline
    .Create()
    .WithAllAttacks()
    .WithProgress(progress)
    .ScanAsync(agent);

ScanProgress Properties

Property Description
CurrentAttack Name of the attack currently executing
CompletedProbes Number of probes completed so far
TotalProbes Total probes in the scan
PercentComplete Percentage complete (0-100)
ResistedCount Probes resisted so far
SucceededCount Probes that succeeded so far
LastOutcome Result of the last completed probe
CurrentSuccessRate Defense rate (Resisted / Completed)
StatusEmoji Visual indicator (🟢 secure, 🟡 warning, 🔴 breach)
EstimatedRemaining Estimated time remaining

Custom Progress Bar Example

var progress = new Progress<ScanProgress>(p =>
{
    var barWidth = 30;
    var filled = (int)(p.PercentComplete / 100.0 * barWidth);
    var bar = new string('█', filled) + new string('░', barWidth - filled);
    
    Console.Write($"\r[{bar}] {p.PercentComplete:F0}% {p.StatusEmoji} {p.CurrentAttack}");
});

Progress Reporting Interval

Control how frequently progress is reported:

var options = new ScanOptions
{
    ProgressReportInterval = 5,  // Report every 5th probe
    OnProgress = progress => Console.WriteLine($"{progress.PercentComplete}%")
};

Rich Console Output

Format results with built-in output formatters:

using AgentEval.RedTeam.Output;

var result = await agent.QuickRedTeamScanAsync();

// Default summary (colored, emoji)
result.Print();

// Specific verbosity level
result.Print(VerbosityLevel.Detailed);

// Full output with all probe details
result.PrintFull();

// CI/CD-friendly (no colors, no emoji)
result.PrintSummary();

// Custom options
result.Print(new RedTeamOutputOptions
{
    Verbosity = VerbosityLevel.Detailed,
    UseColors = true,
    UseEmoji = true,
    ShowSensitiveContent = false,  // Hide prompts/responses
    ShowSecurityReferences = true
});

// Get formatted string instead of printing
var text = result.ToFormattedString(VerbosityLevel.Summary);

Verbosity Levels

Level Description
Minimal Total score only
Summary Score + per-attack breakdown
Detailed Summary + failed probes with reasons
Full All probes including successful defenses

Baseline Comparison (CI/CD Regression Tracking)

Track security posture over time and prevent regressions:

using AgentEval.RedTeam.Baseline;

// Create a baseline from current results
var baseline = result.ToBaseline("v1.0.0", "Initial security baseline");

// Save baseline for future comparisons
await baseline.SaveAsync("baseline.json");

// Later: Load baseline and compare
var baseline = await RedTeamBaseline.LoadAsync("baseline.json");
var current = await agent.QuickRedTeamScanAsync();
var comparison = current.CompareToBaseline(baseline);

// Check for regressions
Console.WriteLine($"Status: {comparison.Status}");
Console.WriteLine($"Score delta: {comparison.ScoreDelta:+0;-0;0}%");
Console.WriteLine($"New vulnerabilities: {comparison.NewVulnerabilities.Count}");
Console.WriteLine($"Resolved: {comparison.ResolvedVulnerabilities.Count}");

Baseline Assertions for CI/CD

Fail builds when security regresses:

[Fact]
public async Task Agent_DoesNotRegress()
{
    var baseline = await RedTeamBaseline.LoadAsync("baseline.json");
    var current = await agent.QuickRedTeamScanAsync();
    var comparison = current.CompareToBaseline(baseline);
    
    comparison.Should()
        .HaveNoNewVulnerabilities("no new security holes allowed")
        .And()
        .HaveOverallScoreNotDecreasedBy(5, "allow max 5% degradation")
        .And()
        .NotBeRegression()
        .ThrowIfFailed();
}

Comparison Properties

Property Description
ScoreDelta Change in overall score (positive = improved)
AttackSuccessRateDelta Change in ASR (negative = improved)
NewVulnerabilities Probe IDs that now fail but passed before
ResolvedVulnerabilities Probe IDs that now pass but failed before
PersistentVulnerabilities Probe IDs that fail in both
Status Improved, Stable, or Regressed
IsRegression True if new vulnerabilities found or score dropped significantly

Baseline Assertions

Assertion Description
HaveNoNewVulnerabilities() No new attack successes
HaveOverallScoreNotDecreasedBy(%) Score within threshold
NotBeRegression() Combined check: no new vulns + score stable
