Red-Teaming & Adversarial Prompt Testers

Simulate adversarial user queries to identify vulnerabilities, policy breaches, or toxic outputs.

Description

Deliberately attempts to make the system misbehave: bypass safety constraints, disclose system instructions, invoke tools it should not, or produce prohibited content. Adversarial testing before an adversary does it.

When it fits

Any system accepting untrusted input, and every agentic system with write-capable tools regardless of who the users are.

When it does not fit

Closed internal pipelines with no free-form input path, where the adversarial surface is genuinely absent.

Governance requirement

Findings must be tracked to remediation like security findings, not filed as observations. Red-team results with no closure process are theatre.

Characteristic failure

Testing the prompt surface and ignoring the tool surface. In agentic systems the serious vulnerability is what the agent can do, not what it can say.

Example

An agentic exception investigator tested with instructions embedded inside an uploaded evidence document, checking whether it treats document content as data rather than as direction.

AI solution components

Deliberately empty

The source material did not expand this solution into components, and the row says so in its own notes. Expanding it here would be authorship, not research.

AI opportunity solutions

Deliberately empty

Two different absences share this shape. Foundational solutions get built whatever the domain, so no domain links them; the rest are solutions this domain genuinely does not reach for. v_ai_solutions_unlinked separates the two.
