description: 'Red-team your own AI agent on a schedule. A curated battery of
adversarial
prompts (instruction overrides, prompt-extraction probes, jailbreaks, and
sensitive-disclosure elicitation) is fired at the agent endpoint, every
response is judged for resistance, and the run scores each attack category.
Scores below threshold open a GitHub issue and page Slack, so regressions in
the agent''s guardrails are caught by automation, not by attackers.
