  • Building a Self-Testing Agentic AI System


    A Coding Implementation to Build a Self-Testing Agentic AI System Using Strands to Red-Team Tool-Using Agents and Enforce Safety at RuntimeAn advanced red-team evaluation harness is developed using Strands Agents to test the resilience of tool-using AI systems against prompt-injection and tool-misuse attacks. The system orchestrates multiple agents to generate adversarial prompts, execute them against a guarded target agent, and evaluate responses using structured criteria. This approach ensures a comprehensive and repeatable safety evaluation by capturing tool usage, detecting secret leaks, and scoring refusal quality. By integrating these evaluations into a structured report, the framework highlights systemic weaknesses and guides design improvements, demonstrating the potential of agentic AI systems to maintain safety and robustness under adversarial conditions. This matters because it provides a systematic method for ensuring AI systems remain secure and reliable as they evolve.
