How I make agents
production-safe.
Three disciplines, applied in order: find out how your agent breaks, stop it breaking, then prove it stays fixed as your models and prompts change.
Red-Teaming
Adversarial testing against your own endpoint — jailbreaks, indirect prompt injection through retrieved content, PII exfiltration, and unauthorized tool or action calls. You get reproducible payload logs, not a scanner score.
Guardrails
Input gates, output harmful-compliance detection that catches jailbreak acceptance the input filter misses, action-authorization with human-in-the-loop on high-blast-radius calls, and fail-closed defaults.
Evals
Regression eval suites and telemetry wired into your release process, so a prompt tweak or model upgrade can't silently undo a fix. Safety becomes provable release over release.
