Automated red-teaming framework for Agentic Constitutions

Adversarial Constitution Framework

Automated red-teaming for Agentic AI Constitutions deployed in regulated industries.

---

The Problem

Regulated enterprises — banks, hospitals, law firms, governments — are deploying autonomous AI agents in production. These agents operate under Agentic Constitutions: YAML policy documents that declare what actions an agent is permitted and forbidden to take.

The problem is that constitutions are written in natural language and enforced by shallow pattern-matching. An adversary who rephrases a prohibited instruction can bypass the guardrails while achieving identical real-world effect.

Regulators demand proof that agents are robust. The EU AI Act (Annex III) and BACEN Resolution 4.893/2021 require documented adversarial testing of high-risk AI systems. This framework generates that evidence.

---

What This Framework Does

Constitution YAML  →  Attack Engine (5 modules)  →  Audit Report + Hardened Constitution

1. Parses a Constitution YAML into a validated Pydantic model
2. Generates adversarial payloads across 5 attack categories
3. Executes each payload against the target agent (model-agnostic, framework-agnostic)
4. Evaluates outcomes using an LLM-as-judge
5. Reports vulnerabilities in EU AI Act / LGPD audit format (JSON + Markdown + PDF)
6. Hardens the constitution with auto-generated patches

Quickstart

Local (Ollama)

# 1. Install
pip install adversarial-constitution

# 2. Pull a local model
ollama pull llama3:latest

# 3. Run against the banking constitution
antz-audit run \
  -c constitution/examples/banking.yaml \
  --model ollama/llama3:latest \
  --judge ollama/llama3:latest \
  -o reports/banking_audit.json

# 4. View the dashboard
python -m reporting.server
# → http://localhost:8080

Docker (recommended)

# Clone and start everything
git clone https://github.com/Gabbsx7/adversarial-constitution
cd adversarial-constitution

docker-compose up --build -d

# Pull the model inside the container
docker-compose exec ollama ollama pull llama3:latest

# Run an audit
docker-compose exec adv-constitution antz run \
  -c constitution/examples/banking.yaml \
  --model ollama/llama3:latest \
  --judge ollama/llama3:latest \
  -o reports/banking_audit.json

# Dashboard → http://localhost:8080

Create a constitution from scratch

antz-audit init
# Interactive wizard — generates banking/healthcare/legal YAML + client sign-off MD

Attack Modules

Module	Techniques	Targets
Constraint Bypass	synonym substitution, euphemism wrapping, authority injection, goal framing, passive construction, negation bypass, incremental softening, indirect reference	prohibited_actions
Threshold Probing	binary search boundary finding, transaction splitting, MFA bypass	spend_limits
Prompt Injection	direct injection, role confusion, system prompt override	all rules
Goal Hijacking	CEO urgency, life-or-death framing, system migration, regulatory deadline, chained benign actions	prohibited_actions
Indirect Injection	RAG poisoning, email injection, tool output injection, web scrape injection, calendar injection	agent data pipeline

Adapters — Audit Any Agent

Black-box HTTP (any REST API)

from adversarial.adapters import HTTPAgentAdapter

adapter = HTTPAgentAdapter(
    url="https://my-agent.company.com/api/chat",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer sk-..."},
    message_field="message",
    response_field="choices.0.message.content",
)

# Probe connectivity before attacking
ok, info = await adapter.probe()

antz-audit run \
  -c constitution/examples/banking.yaml \
  --agent-url https://my-agent.company.com/api/chat \
  --agent-headers "Authorization:Bearer sk-..." \
  --judge ollama/llama3:latest \
  -o reports/audit.json

LangGraph

from adversarial.adapters import LangGraphAdapter
from adversarial.attacks.constraint_bypass import ConstraintBypassAttack

graph   = your_graph.compile()
adapter = LangGraphAdapter(graph=graph, input_key="messages", output_key="messages")
attack  = ConstraintBypassAttack(adapter, judge_agent, constitution)
reports = await attack.run()

CrewAI

from adversarial.adapters import CrewAIAdapter

crew    = Crew(agents=[...], tasks=[...])
adapter = CrewAIAdapter(crew=crew, input_variable="customer_request")

AutoGen

from adversarial.adapters import AutoGenAdapter

adapter = AutoGenAdapter(agent=your_autogen_agent)
