safelabs-eval

Open-source red-teaming and evaluation framework for AI agents — aligned to the OWASP Agentic Security Initiative (ASI) Top 10.

AI agents built on LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, LlamaIndex, the OpenAI Agents SDK, and custom frameworks ship to production without systematic safety testing. safelabs-eval changes that.

Point it at any agent endpoint — or wrap any Python callable — and it fires 30 curated adversarial prompts across all 10 OWASP ASI categories, scores every response with pattern-based detectors, and prints a structured security report in seconds.

No LLM calls required for detection. No agent code modifications required. No infrastructure setup.

Install

pip install safelabs-eval

Requirements: Python 3.11+

Quick Start

Option 1 — CLI: test any HTTP agent endpoint

# Red-team a local agent against ASI01 (Prompt Injection)
safelabs run --target http://localhost:8000/chat --category ASI01

# Run all 30 OWASP ASI prompts
safelabs run --target http://localhost:8000/chat --category all

# JSON output for CI pipelines
safelabs run --target http://localhost:8000/chat --category all --output json

# With authentication
safelabs run --target https://my-agent.example.com/chat \
             --category ASI01 \
             --auth-header "Bearer sk-..."

# Increase timeout for slow agents (default: 30s)
safelabs run --target http://localhost:8000/chat --category ASI01 --timeout 60

Example report — agent under test (Claude Haiku, ASI01 Prompt Injection):

SUMMARY (3 prompts)
  VULNERABLE : 0
  FAIL       : 0
  UNCERTAIN  : 1
  PASS       : 2
  ERRORS     : 0

✓  No vulnerabilities detected

Option 2 — Python API: wrap any callable

import asyncio
from safelabs import run_eval

# Your agent — any function that takes a string and returns a string
async def my_agent(prompt: str) -> str:
    # Replace with your actual agent call
    return your_agent.run(prompt)

# Run the eval
result = asyncio.run(run_eval(my_agent, categories=["ASI01", "ASI06"]))

# Print the report
result.summary()

Both def and async def callables are accepted. No agent code modification required.

Run all 10 OWASP ASI categories (30 prompts total):

result = asyncio.run(run_eval(my_agent))
print(f"Vulnerable : {len(result.vulnerable)}")
print(f"Passed     : {len(result.passed)}")
print(f"Errors     : {len(result.errors)}")

Access individual results:

for record in result.records:
    print(f"[{record.prompt_id}] {record.verdict.value} — {record.scoring_result.confidence:.0%} confidence")
    if record.scoring_result.remediation_hint:
        print(f"  Fix: {record.scoring_result.remediation_hint}")

Browse the prompt library

# List all 10 OWASP ASI categories
safelabs list

# Show prompts for a specific category
safelabs prompts --category ASI01

# Filter by severity
safelabs prompts --severity critical

# JSON output
safelabs prompts --category ASI06 --output json

Design principles:

• Detectors are pure Python — no LLM calls, no I/O, no database
• All detection is async-first — safe for concurrent eval pipelines
• Regex patterns compiled once at init — reused across every call
• Everything is extensible — implement BaseDetector, register with Scorer

Framework Adapters

Install only the extras you need. The core package (HTTP adapter + CLI) requires no optional dependencies.

Usage examples:

from safelabs.agents import LangChainAdapter

# LangChain — any Runnable (chain, agent, chat model)
adapter = LangChainAdapter(runnable=chain, input_key="input")

from safelabs.agents import CrewAIAdapter

# CrewAI — Crew.kickoff() runs in a thread pool (sync API)
adapter = CrewAIAdapter(crew=crew, input_key="input")

from safelabs.agents import AutoGenAdapter

# AutoGen / ag2 — recipient initiates single-turn chat with agent
adapter = AutoGenAdapter(agent=agent, recipient=user_proxy)

from safelabs.agents import LlamaIndexAdapter

# LlamaIndex — AgentWorkflow.run(user_msg=prompt) — async-native
adapter = LlamaIndexAdapter(workflow=workflow)

from safelabs.agents import OpenAIAgentsAdapter

# OpenAI Agents SDK — Runner.run(agent, prompt) — async-native
adapter = OpenAIAgentsAdapter(agent=agent)

Pass any adapter to run_eval or call .execute(prompt) directly:

from safelabs import run_eval

result = asyncio.run(run_eval(adapter.execute, categories=["ASI01", "ASI08"]))
result.summary()

What's Coming

We're actively developing new detectors, prompts, and reporting features. Watch this repo or join the discussion in GitHub Issues to follow along and shape the direction.

Want to contribute? The highest-value open areas right now:

• Additional adversarial prompts — each ASI category currently has 3 prompts; expanding to 10+ per category with more varied attack patterns would meaningfully improve coverage.
• Integration test harnesses — the current adapter tests use duck-typed fakes and do not install real framework packages. Tests that run against actual LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, LlamaIndex, and OpenAI Agents SDK objects (in an optional CI job) are a real gap.
• Additional framework adapters — Google ADK and Semantic Kernel are natural next candidates given their growing production adoption.
• Richer detectors — current detectors are regex-based; LLM-graded and embedding-similarity detectors would close the gap on subtle attacks that pattern matching misses.
