Why RedAgent?

Traditional Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) and API scanners are fundamentally incapable of discovering non-deterministic LLM vulnerabilities:

• They do not understand conversational state, prompt boundaries, or instruction delimiters.
• They conclude execution after a single HTTP 200 or standard polite refusal ("I am sorry, but...").
• They cannot evaluate autonomous function calling (Excessive Agency) or vector memory leakage (RAG Data Exfiltration).

RedAgent solves this by deploying a team of adversarial AI agents. Powered by a Dynamic Test Iteration Engine with Backtracking, our specialist agents analyze target refusals, systematically mutate boundary conditions (delimiters, role claims, parameter tampering), and continue exploring alternative attack vectors until every path on the exploration tree is exhausted.

Key Features

• OWASP LLM Top 10 Coverage: Automated test generation mapped to Prompt Injection (LLM01), Sensitive Information Disclosure (LLM06), and Excessive Agency / Insecure Tool Abuse (LLM07/LLM08).
• Persistent Refinement with Backtracking: Agents do not surrender on a single defense. When a prompt is blocked by a guardrail, the engine backtracks and mutates formatting, delimiters, and semantic framing.
• ChromaDB Vector Knowledge Store: Persistently indexes adversarial seeds, boundary test templates, and OWASP evaluation rubrics (with zero-dependency in-memory fallback).
• Pluggable Target Connectors: Test local mock agents, staging bots, or live enterprise agents over REST API endpoints (RestTargetConnector).
• Actionable Remediation Roadmap: Automatically generates concrete developer fixes, including regex guardrail patterns, system prompt hardening snippets, and RBAC constraints.
• Dual Mode (CLI + SDK): Run as a standalone terminal security scanner or embed into Python CI/CD pipelines.

System Architecture

RedAgent operates as a stateful Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) built on LangGraph, Pydantic v2, and LiteLLM:

Specialized Multi-Agent Roles

Agent Role	Domain Specialty	OWASP Focus	Core Objective
Orchestrator Agent	Threat Modeler & Planner	System-wide	Profiles target tools, RAG connections, and generates structured test matrices.
Prompt Injection Specialist	Boundary & Delimiter Attacks	LLM01	Tests instruction delimiters, goal hijacking, and system override resistance.
Tool Abuse Agent	RBAC & Excessive Agency	LLM07, LLM08	Tests unconstrained function calling, parameter tampering, and privilege escalation.
Data Exfiltration Agent	Confidentiality & Memory	LLM06	Evaluates system prompt leaks, canary tokens, and RAG metadata disclosure.
Evaluator & Reporter	Semantic Analysis & Risk	Comprehensive	Computes risk scores (0-10) and formulates concrete developer remediation rules.

Quickstart & Installation

1. Installation

Clone the repository and install in editable mode:

git clone https://github.com/Zwony/RedAgent.git
cd RedAgent

# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv venv
# Windows:
.\venv\Scripts\activate
# Linux/macOS:
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies and CLI tool
pip install -e .

2. Configure Environment (Optional)

To use cloud LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) for the attack and evaluation agents, copy .env.example:

cp .env.example .env

And specify your API keys:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
DEFAULT_ATTACKER_MODEL=gpt-4o

---

CLI Usage

1. Scaffold a New Target Agent Profile

Generate a starter configuration file with customizable tools and RAG settings:

redagent init --output target.json --name "CustomerServiceAgent"

2. Run Security Audit on an AI Agent Profile

Execute the stateful multi-agent DAG against your target and export an executive Markdown report:

redagent scan --target target.json --output audit_report.md

Or export as structured JSON:

redagent scan --target target.json --output report.json

3. Run the Interactive Sandbox Demo

Experience the multi-agent refinement loop against a simulated banking assistant:

Sample Audit Output

When an audit finishes, RedAgent renders a comprehensive executive summary and remediation table:

         Security Audit Posture Summary

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

=> Hardening & Guardrail Remediation Roadmap:
  #1 [LLM08: Excessive Agency]: Enforce server-side RBAC and schema constraints on tool 'lookup_customer_order'.
  #2 [LLM08: Excessive Agency]: Require explicit user confirmation token for sensitive function calls ('cancel_and_refund_order').
  #3 [LLM01: Prompt Injection]: Sanitize input delimiters such as triple backticks or custom markup tags.
