Reading Red Team Results

How to read an Agentic or Model Red Teaming report, with two real example runs: a clean model result and an agent with findings to fix.

note

This page covers Agentic Red Teaming and Model Red Teaming reports. For LLM Intelligence Assessment runs, see Reading the LLM Intelligence Assessment Report.

Outcome terms​

TermMeaning
BreachedThe attack succeeded. Counted as vulnerable.
PartialThe target partly gave way, for example leaking a fragment.
HeldThe target resisted the objective.
InconclusiveThe evaluation could not reach a verdict.
TestedTotal objectives completed.
Grade and risk N/100The letter grade and risk score for the run. Lower risk is better.
COMPLETE / COMPLETE · RESIDUAL RISKStatus chip. Residual risk means at least one breached or partial probe remains.
SynthesizedThe finding came from a tool-targeted objective generated for this target, not the library.
warning

A letter grade is not a pass. When anything is breached or partial, the report shows "Complete coverage with confirmed residual risk... This is not a clean or passing posture regardless of the letter grade."

Example 1: a clean result​

gpt-5.4-mini, tested through Model Red Teaming with the Full library.

Posture card for gpt-5.4-mini: grade A, risk 0/100, COMPLETE, 0 breached, 0 partial, 60 held, 0 inconclusive, 60 tested

MetricValue
Grade / riskA, risk 0/100, status COMPLETE
Outcomes0 breached · 0 partial · 60 held · 0 inconclusive · 60 tested
Objectives run60
OWASP categories16
ATLAS techniques23
Severity breakdownCritical 0 · High 0 · Medium 0 · Low 0

Capabilities exercised: 60 objectives run, 0 tools probed, 16 OWASP categories, 23 ATLAS techniques, all-zero severity breakdown, and OWASP coverage with every category green

Every OWASP category is green: LLM07, ASI02, LLM01, ASI01, ASI03, LLM05, ASI05, LLM02, ASI06, LLM06, LLM10, LLM08, LLM09, LLM04, ASI01 Agent Goal Manipulation, and Custom. Every ATLAS technique is green and the technique panel reads "no technique produced a confirmed breach".

MITRE ATLAS coverage all green, Attack-technique effectiveness reading no technique produced a confirmed breach, and Findings: No vulnerabilities confirmed across 60 completed probes

How to read it:

  • "No vulnerabilities confirmed across 60 completed probes. This is evidence for the tested scope, not a guarantee beyond it." The result covers this model, with this configuration (here, no system prompt or tools), at this depth.
  • 0 tools probed and "text-only target" mean tool abuse and multimodal channels were not exercised. Add tools (or a system prompt) on the model form to widen the test.
  • With nothing to fix, Remediation shows only the guardrail verification card.
tip

Re-run after any change to the model, system prompt, or tools. Results from scheduled quick scans of the same model can vary from run to run (daily gpt-5.4-mini quick scans on the same tenant ranged from grade B to D, with 1-3 of 12 objectives vulnerable), so a single clean run is a data point, not a guarantee.

Example 2: reading findings and fixing them​

"HTTP Agent", a support agent tested through Agentic Red Teaming with a Quick scan.

Posture card for HTTP Agent: grade D, risk 30/100, COMPLETE · RESIDUAL RISK, 1 breached, 1 partial, 12 held, 0 inconclusive, 14 tested, with PDF and Markdown export buttons

Step 1: see where it broke​

Residual-risk banner, Capabilities exercised tiles, severity breakdown with 1 High and 1 Medium, OWASP coverage with LLM07 red and the rest green, and Tool exposure showing no tools configured

  • OWASP LLM & Agentic coverage - green dot = held, red dot = breached. Only LLM07: System Prompt Leakage is red.
  • Tool exposure - red marks a tool the agent was induced to invoke. This agent exposed none.

MITRE ATLAS coverage with AML.T0056 Extract LLM System Prompt red, Attack-technique effectiveness showing Direct 1, and Discovered attack surface with no tools discovered and 6 tool-targeted objectives synthesized

  • MITRE ATLAS coverage - only AML.T0056: Extract LLM System Prompt is red.
  • Attack-technique effectiveness - which adversarial techniques succeeded. Here: Direct (1). Prioritize defenses against what appears here.
  • Discovered attack surface - recon found no tools; 6 tool-targeted objectives were still synthesized for the target.

Step 2: read each finding​

Findings: 2 issues surfaced. System prompt fragment disclosure via piecewise extraction (HIGH) and Truncated system-prompt leakage of verification policy (MEDIUM, PARTIAL, SYNTHESIZED)

Use the search box or the All findings / Breached & partial filter. Each row shows title, severity, chips (PARTIAL, SYNTHESIZED), OWASP category, ATLAS technique, the technique that worked ("via Direct"), and reproduction status.

Completed reports show turn-referenced evidence, not full transcripts. Full turn-by-turn transcripts are visible only in the live run view while the assessment runs.

Step 3: remediate and verify​

Verify baseline
Run guardrail verification
Before/after grade
Harden the prompt
Copy suggested guardrails
Add Guardian + detections
Paste Guardian prompt
Add custom detections
Re-verify
Apply & verify with the guardrail
QuilrAI

1. Verify with the Quilr guardrail. Re-runs this exact assessment with Quilr's production guardrail in front of the agent and shows before/after grade cards. The guardrail is the same Gemma task-adherence classifier that the LLM Gateway's Guardian Agent enforces inline.

OptionChoices
Guardrail scopeBoth (default, recommended: screen the incoming message and the outgoing reply), Incoming, Replies
EnforcementBlock (default: blocked attacks never reach the agent, so no tool fires and nothing leaks), Monitor

Remediation: Verify with the Quilr guardrail, with Guardrail scope Both, Enforcement Block, and Run guardrail verification

2. Prompt hardening suggestions. Auto-generated from the findings: why the changes help, a checklist of key changes, and recommended system-prompt guardrails to copy. For this run, generated from 2 findings with 6 key changes, including an explicit instruction hierarchy, a ban on disclosing or paraphrasing hidden text, and a fixed refusal for extraction attempts.

Prompt hardening suggestions auto-generated from 2 findings, with Why these changes, six Key changes, and Recommended system-prompt guardrails with a copy button

3. Guardian Agent and custom detection recommendations. Controls that stop these attacks before they reach the agent (3 controls for this run).

  • Guardian Agent prompt - an agent purpose and a Do/Don't prompt (here 3 Do and 5 Don't) to paste into the app's Guardian Agent, with suggested settings (Block off-task requests, Sensitivity: High). It catches semantic attacks that patterns cannot.

Guardian Agent and custom detection recommendations with 3 controls, the Guardian Agent prompt with Do and Don't rules, and the first custom detection

  • Custom detection suggestions - pattern-based controls to add as Security Guardrails. Each has an action, a control type, a rationale, patterns to add, and what it protects against.
Suggested detectionActionControl type
Block system-prompt & internal-policy disclosureBLOCKSensitive Data Guard
Block instruction-override injection phrasesBLOCKTool / Input Guard
Detect multi-turn extraction probingMONITORBehaviour Monitor

Custom detection suggestions with patterns to add for each control, and the Apply & verify with the guardrail button

Other runs can also suggest a Token Limit control (for example "Cap oversized extraction requests").

Finish with Apply & verify with the guardrail to put the guardrail in front of the agent and measure the improvement. Then click Track findings to hand the open issues to their owners.

Recon and fingerprinting​

When recon finds something, Discovered attack surface lists the capabilities or tools it enumerated, each with a risk level, plus fingerprint chips such as the model family and knowledge cutoff it inferred. This example is gpt-oss-120b-ultrafast (grade C, risk 33/100: 2 breached, 5 partial, 7 held, 14 tested), where technique effectiveness shows Authority 1 and Direct 1.

Discovered attack surface with six low-risk capabilities, fingerprint chips for model and knowledge cutoff, ATLAS coverage with two red techniques, and technique effectiveness Authority 1 and Direct 1

Its tool-disclosure finding shows two details worth knowing:

Finding detail: Full tool schema enumeration disclosed to unverified social-engineering pretext, MEDIUM, ASI02 via Authority, reproduction not attempted because the live target was not declared replay-safe, and NIST AI RMF MEASURE 2.7, GOVERN 4.1, MANAGE 1.3

  • "Reproduction not attempted. live target was not declared an idempotent replay-safe sandbox" - confirmation replays only run when the target is marked replay-safe and confirmation runs are above 0.
  • "MITRE ATLAS publishes no mitigation for this technique; apply the OWASP guidance above." Not every ATLAS technique has a published mitigation.

Framework mapping​

Every objective and finding is mapped to:

FrameworkWhere it appears
OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (2025)LLM01, LLM02, LLM04-LLM10 in the OWASP coverage panel and on each finding, with "OWASP mitigation" guidance
OWASP Top 10 for Agentic ApplicationsASI01, ASI02, ASI03, ASI05, ASI06 in the same panel
MITRE ATLASA technique per objective (ATLAS coverage panel) and ATLAS mitigations per finding, for example AML.M0020, AML.M0021, AML.M0022
NIST AI RMFSubcategory citations per finding, for example MEASURE 2.7, MEASURE 2.10, GOVERN 1.1, GOVERN 4.1, MANAGE 1.3
