# BUILD REPORT — agentkit-cli v0.41.0

**Build date:** 2026-03-17  
**Trigger:** OpenAI acquiring Promptfoo ($86M). Teams using non-OpenAI models need a neutral, model-agnostic adversarial eval tool.  
**Thesis:** Static analysis = no model dependency = truly model-agnostic. The CI gate angle: `agentkit redteam --min-score 70` fails the build before unsafe agent configs ship.

## Deliverables Completed

### D1. Core RedTeamEngine + attack generation ✅

**File:** `agentkit_cli/redteam_engine.py`

- `AttackCategory` enum: `PROMPT_INJECTION`, `JAILBREAK`, `CONTEXT_CONFUSION`, `INSTRUCTION_OVERRIDE`, `DATA_EXTRACTION`, `ROLE_ESCALATION`
- 48 total templates (8 per category, minimum 6 required)
- Templates parameterized from context file content (`{tool}`, `{topic}`, `{instruction}`, `{persona}`)
- `_parse_context_params()`: extracts tool names, headings, instruction type, persona from context file
- `Attack` dataclass: `{id, category, input_text, description, expected_behavior}`
- Fully deterministic — no randomness, no LLM calls
- Attack IDs are UUID-based, unique per call

### D2. RedTeamScorer — static analysis resistance scoring ✅

**File:** `agentkit_cli/redteam_scorer.py`

- 7 scoring rules: RT001–RT007
- Rules check for: missing refusal instructions, missing safety boundaries, overly permissive grants, missing principal hierarchy, role escalation invitation, no injection defense, no data protection
- Penalty system: 5–25 points per vulnerability, per-category and composite score (0–100)
- Optional agentlint integration (graceful fallback if not installed)
- `RedTeamReport` dataclass with all required fields
- `_empty_report()` for missing context files (score = 0, grade = F)
- Grades: A (≥90), B (≥80), C (≥70), D (≥50), F (<50)

### D3. `agentkit redteam` CLI command ✅

**File:** `agentkit_cli/commands/redteam_cmd.py`  
**Wired into:** `agentkit_cli/main.py`

- `PATH` argument (default: `.`)
- `--categories`: comma-separated category filter
- `--attacks-per-category N`: default 3
- `--json`: stable JSON schema output
- `--share`: uploads to here.now via existing `publish_html()`
- `--min-score N`: exit 1 if overall score < N (CI gate)
- `--output FILE`: save HTML report to file
- Rich table with color-coded scores (≥80 green, 50-79 yellow, <50 red)
- Progress bars in category table
- Sample attacks (one per category, truncated to 120 chars)
- Top 3 recommendations
- Overall grade badge

**Additional integrations:**
- `agentkit run --redteam`: runs adversarial eval after full pipeline
- `agentkit score`: includes redteam score in composite when context file is present

### D4. Dark-theme HTML report ✅

**File:** `agentkit_cli/redteam_report.py`

- Self-contained HTML (no external CSS/JS dependencies)
- Dark theme matching existing reports (`trending_report.py`, `tournament_report.py`)
- Header: project name, overall score, grade badge
- Category cards with animated progress bars
- Collapsible attack samples via `<details>`/`<summary>`
- Numbered recommendations with rule code callouts
- Footer: version + UTC timestamp
- Reuses `publish.publish_html()` for here.now publishing

### D5. Docs, version bump, build report ✅

- `agentkit_cli/__init__.py`: bumped to `0.41.0`
- `pyproject.toml`: bumped to `0.41.0`
- `README.md`: added `redteam` to commands table + "Red-Team Your Agent Setup" section
- `CHANGELOG.md`: v0.41.0 entry
- `BUILD-REPORT-v0.41.0.md`: this file

## Test Counts

| | Count |
|---|---|
| Baseline (v0.40.1) | 1584 |
| New tests (v0.41.0) | 79 |
| **Total** | **1663** |
| Regressions | 0 |

### New test files:
- `tests/test_redteam_engine.py` (29 tests)
- `tests/test_redteam_scorer.py` (27 tests)
- `tests/test_redteam_report.py` (16 tests)
- `tests/test_redteam_cmd.py` (19 tests including integration test)

All 1663 tests pass.

## Architecture Decisions

**No LLM required:** The scoring and attack generation are purely static. `RedTeamEngine` uses deterministic template selection — same input always produces same output. `RedTeamScorer` uses regex-based rule checks. This is the core value proposition: model-agnostic.

**Templates as Python constants:** Attack templates are `List[dict]` in `redteam_engine.py`, not JSON files. Easier to test, parameterize, and lint. No file I/O at import time.

**Parameterization from context:** `_parse_context_params()` extracts `{tool}`, `{topic}`, `{instruction}`, `{persona}` tokens from the actual context file, making attacks targeted rather than generic.

**Penalty-based scoring:** Each vulnerability rule has an explicit penalty (5–25 points). Per-category score = 100 - sum(penalties in that category). Composite = average across categories. Simple, auditable, explainable.

**Agentlint integration is optional:** If agentlint is installed, its findings are folded into the scoring. If not, the scorer operates entirely from its own rules. This preserves the model-agnostic / tool-agnostic guarantee.

**HTML report reuses publish infrastructure:** `publish_report()` writes to a temp file then calls `publish.publish_html()`. No new network code.

## Distribution Context

This command was triggered by OpenAI acquiring Promptfoo ($86M). The thesis:

- Teams using non-OpenAI models need a **neutral** red-team tool
- Static analysis = no model dependency = truly model-agnostic
- One command: `agentkit redteam github:owner/repo` — adversarial eval of any public repo's agent setup
- CI gate: `agentkit redteam --min-score 70` fails the build before unsafe agent configs ship

**Show HN hook:** "After OpenAI acquired Promptfoo, I added a model-agnostic red-team command to agentkit-cli. No LLM required for scoring — just static analysis of your context files."
