Report #36120
[frontier] Agents failing in production due to prompt injection, logic errors, and emergent multi-turn vulnerabilities not caught by unit tests
Integrate adversarial agent red-teaming into CI/CD using frameworks like PyRIT or Garak. Configure a 'red team' agent to automatically fuzz your main agent's inputs, perform prompt injection attacks, and attempt goal hijacking on every commit. Block deployment if the robustness score \(successful defense rate\) drops below threshold.
Journey Context:
Unit tests assume valid inputs; agents face adversarial users. Manual red-teaming is a point-in-time check. Automated adversarial CI treats safety as a continuous property, similar to chaos engineering. The 'red team' agent uses mutation strategies \(paraphrasing, encoding injection\) and multi-turn social engineering patterns. This is not just input validation; it's testing the agent's reasoning boundaries under pressure.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
