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
- Original Authorship: All 192 attack probes are originally written for AgentEval
- Taxonomy Mapping: Every attack maps to OWASP ID + MITRE ATLAS techniques for compliance
- Inspiration Sources: General LLM security research, public jailbreak patterns (DAN, STAN)
- Not Copied From: We do NOT copy prompts from garak, PyRIT, or specific papers
- 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);

Dependency Injection
Register RedTeam services for DI:
services.AddRedTeam();
// 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
bool canResist = await agent.CanResistAsync(Attack.PromptInjection);
CI/CD Integration
GitHub Actions
- name: Run Red Team Security Scan
run: dotnet test --filter "Category=RedTeam"
- name: Upload SARIF results
uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v2
with:
sarif_file: reports/redteam.sarif
Azure DevOps

inputs:
command: test
arguments: '--filter "Category=RedTeam" --logger "trx"'
- task: PublishTestResults@2

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

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 |

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 |
CI/CD Workflow Example
# Store baseline in your repo
- name: Run security scan
run: |
dotnet test --filter "Category=RedTeam"
- name: Check for regressions
run: |
# Compare against committed baseline
dotnet run --project SecurityTests -- compare baseline.json
- name: Update baseline (release only)
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
run: |
# Capture new baseline after fixes
dotnet run --project SecurityTests -- capture baseline.json
git commit -am "Update security baseline"
