The Problem Statement (Why pytest isn't enough)

Standard unit tests assume deterministic functions. AI agents do not.

An extraction agent can pass every golden fixture on Monday and silently ship a poisoned tool call on Tuesday—because probabilistic models, OCR drift, and document layout shifts do not care about your assert equal suite.

Common silent production failures Prism-Eval is built to catch:

Failure mode	What happens in prod	Why normal tests miss it
Digit drop attacks	$150,000 extracted as $150.00 or $15,000	Fixtures use clean numbers; distractors never appear
Indirect prompt injections	Hidden PDF footer / HTML comment: ignore previous instructions hijacks the tool call	Happy-path docs have no adversarial payload
Layout & OCR drift	Column shift / fax wrap → wrong line item bound to AGI	Snapshots freeze one layout; real scans do not

If your gate to Group-3 / tool execution is “the LLM looked confident,” you do not have a test suite—you have a demo.

Prism-Eval turns G4 adversarial corpora (digit drops, line-item shifts, prompt injections, OCR noise) into a pre-deploy fail gate with a typed report, CI exporters, and a clear path to runtime enforcement via Prism-Shield.

Quickstart (30-Second Setup)

Install

pip install prism-eval

Until the PyPI listing propagates, any of these also work:

# GitHub release wheel (v0.2.2+)
pip install https://github.com/insightitsGit/prism-eval/releases/download/v0.2.2/prism_eval-0.2.2-py3-none-any.whl

# Direct from Git
pip install "git+https://github.com/insightitsGit/prism-eval.git@v0.2.2"

Dev extras (pytest + asyncio):

pip install "prism-eval[dev]"

Minimal framework-agnostic test

Works with LangGraph, CrewAI, custom async/sync callables, or an HTTP extraction endpoint.

# test_agent.py
import pytest
from prism_eval import PrismEvalEngine


async def my_langgraph_agent(input_data: dict) -> dict:
    """Your agent: document + user_request → extracted fields."""
    # return await graph.ainvoke(input_data)
    return {"agi_usd": "450000"}


@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_agent_determinism():
    engine = PrismEvalEngine(
        agent_fn=my_langgraph_agent,
        policy_id="underwriting_v1",
        min_determinism=0.95,
        min_pass_rate=0.95,
    )
    report = await engine.run_suite(corpus_path="builtin")  # or "./tests/pdf_corpus/"
    assert report.overall_score >= 0.95
    assert report.g4_invariant_held  # no critical false accepts

Run it:

pytest test_agent.py -v

CLI (zero Python required)

prism-eval \
  --policy-id underwriting_v1 \
  --corpus builtin \
  --min-determinism 0.95 \
  --min-pass-rate 0.95 \
  --agent mypkg.agents:extract_async

Point --agent at module:function (sync or async) or an https:// JSON endpoint.

What You Get Out of the Box

G4 adversarial coverage

Built-in and file-based corpora exercise the failure modes that break AI extraction agents:

• Digit drops / truncations — 450000 → 45000
• Prompt injection — ignore_previous / system_override payloads
• Line-item / layout shifts — bounding-box span mismatch
• OCR / fax noise — ugly corpus mutators
• Legitimate zero — $0 must not false-fail as a digit drop

Each case carries G4 metadata: severity, expected_behavior (match_ground_truth | never_false_accept | expect_refuse), critical_fields, and optional injected_wrong poison targets.

Attack-aware scoring (not brittle string equality)

• Determinism — canonical money compare ($450,000.00 ≡ 450000)
• Security oracle — detects obeyed injections and digit truncations vs ground truth
• G4 invariant — g4_invariant_held requires zero critical false accepts

CI-native artifacts

prism-eval \
  --policy-id underwriting_v1 \
  --corpus ./tests/adversarial_corpus \
  --agent mypkg.agents:extract_async \
  --junit report.junit.xml \
  --sarif report.sarif \
  --json-out report.json \
  --no-upsell

Exit non-zero when pass-rate or the G4 false-accept invariant fails—ready for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Buildkite.

Terminal Output (What Failure Looks Like)

When the identity / empty agent runs the builtin suite, Prism-Eval prints a high-signal report and (unless --no-upsell) cross-sells runtime protection:

Agent Adapters

Prism-Eval is framework-agnostic. The engine accepts:

Agent form	How to wire it
Async callable	PrismEvalEngine(agent_fn=my_async_fn, ...)
Sync callable	Auto-wrapped via thread offload
CLI module path	--agent package.module:function
HTTP JSON	--agent https://agents.example/extract

HTTP options: set PRISM_EVAL_HTTP_TOKEN (Bearer) and/or PRISM_EVAL_HTTP_HEADERS (JSON object).

from prism_eval import PrismEvalEngine, make_http_agent

engine = PrismEvalEngine(
    agent_fn=make_http_agent("https://agents.example/extract", timeout_s=15),
    policy_id="underwriting_v1",
    timeout_s=30,
    concurrency=8,
)

When CI Fails → Ship Prism-Shield

Prism-Eval is the pre-deploy red team.
Prism-Shield is the runtime zero-trust gateway.

If Prism-Eval fails in CI, do not only patch prompts. Put a signed, evidence-bound gate in front of tool execution so poisoned parameters never reach production DAGs—without rewriting your agent.

pip install prism-shield

Layer	Job
Prism-Eval	Local + CI adversarial suite; fail the build on digit drops / injections / false accepts
Prism-Shield	Production middleware: intercept, verify, and block the same failure classes at runtime

Eval finds the blast radius. Shield contains it.

Python API (typed report)

from prism_eval import PrismEvalEngine, SuiteReport

async def run() -> SuiteReport:
    engine = PrismEvalEngine(
        agent_fn=my_agent,
        policy_id="underwriting_v1",
        min_determinism=0.95,
        min_pass_rate=0.95,
        timeout_s=30.0,
        concurrency=4,
    )
    report = await engine.run_suite("builtin")
    print(report.overall_score, report.g4_invariant_held, report.critical_false_accept_count)
    for case in report.cases:
        if case.status != "PASS":
            print(case.case_id, case.attack_type, case.reasons)
    return report

SuiteReport exposes pass rate, mean determinism, attack-type rollups, false-accept counts, and per-case reasons—ready for dashboards or ticket automation.

Why teams adopt Prism-Eval

• PLG-fast — pip install → builtin corpus → fail/pass in seconds
• Framework-agnostic — any sync/async/HTTP agent
• Security-honest — attack-aware oracle + G4 false-accept invariant
• CI-ready — JUnit + SARIF + non-zero exit
• Upsell-clear — failed suites point to Prism-Shield for production enforcement
