How the gate works

How the Prompt Injection Red Team gate works

This tool grades one AI app's defenses across 15 OWASP-mapped prompt-injection probes. It scores 6 weighted controls into a 0–100 number — then a gate that can only make the verdict worse.

Critical-probe · worsen-only

Any still-open CRITICAL-severity probe forces FIX no matter the score; an open HIGH-severity probe blocks SHIP outright. Segregate untrusted content is the one defense standing between this app and its open critical-severity finding.

70/100

FIX

Why: The app defends 4 of 6 practices for 70% weighted resilience - enough to clear the HOLD line on score alone. But Segregate untrusted content is off, so the critical-severity 'instruction hidden in a document' probe (and a high-severity delimiter-spoof probe) both get through. The critical-probe gate forces FIX regardless of score.

Fix firstSegregate untrusted content - turn it on and both open findings close, including the one critical-severity probe holding this at FIX.

A high score didn’t save it. The score is context; the gate is the answer — and it names the one thing to fix first. Simulation only - no real model, no network call. Defensive tool: run the real kit only against systems you own or are authorized to test.
