Red-Team Results

This portfolio exposes real AI surface: a public assistant, an MCP server, and an A2A agent that moves a (fictional) payment through approval. So it is attacked on every push and every deploy by an in-process adversarial corpus of 59 cases, each mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM and Agentic Applications. The corpus is deterministic and model-free: no keys, no network, reproducible by anyone who clones the repo.

Notes

  • The two documented gaps are semantic attacks a pattern guard cannot catch. Each lists the control that still prevents harm — payment release is decided by deterministic policy and a credentialed human approval, never by text in a request.
  • This corpus runs against the portfolio's own code. Scanning a live site with an external tool against production targets is only done against a preview deployment, with authorization, never against third-party systems.
  • Machine-readable: /api/security/red-team. Related: operating model, governance, flagship agent.
