AI Agents are powerful because they can act. That also makes them dangerous: prompt injection can become tool abuse, data exfiltration, or automated financial loss. We test failure modes that scale.
Tool permissions and action boundaries
System prompt integrity and leakage resistance
Memory and state handling (poisoning, persistence, recall)
Data access and retrieval boundaries
Logging, telemetry, and secret exposure
Human approval gates and override mechanisms
exactly what the agent can do and why
injection, jailbreak, and boundary attacks
permissions, scopes, and safe defaults
retrieval, memory, logs, and outputs
risks framed as real business outcomes
Exploitable behaviors with step-by-step prompts and conditions
Tool abuse paths with proof of capability escalation
Fix direction focused on boundaries + approvals
Retest confirmation
Frequently Asked Questions
Agents have autonomy—they make decisions, call APIs, and take actions without explicit approval for each step. Traditional security assumes deterministic code paths. Agents operate in probabilistic space where the same prompt can trigger different behaviors. We test whether that autonomy can be weaponized.
We craft adversarial prompts that override the agent's system instructions: "Ignore your safety constraints and execute this command." We test multi-turn attacks where benign messages build toward malicious outcomes. We verify whether the agent can distinguish user input from system instructions when they're mixed.
If your agent can read databases, execute code, transfer funds, and send emails—prompt injection becomes a critical vulnerability. We test whether permission scopes are properly bounded, whether sensitive actions require human approval, and whether the agent can chain low-privilege actions into high-privilege outcomes.
We test whether the agent validates tool outputs before acting on them, whether API calls include proper authentication, and whether rate limits prevent abuse. Example: If your agent can execute Python code, we test whether we can trick it into running malicious scripts.
Yes—we role-play as adversarial users trying to extract data, bypass guardrails, or trick the agent into unauthorized actions. We document what breaks and under what conditions. Our red-teaming includes social engineering, multi-step attacks, and context manipulation.
