Red-team and harden your AI agent team
You've built a single agent. You've built a team. Now put that team through what a real security review looks like: turn on production guardrails, then try to break it with five real attack techniques — and see whether your defences hold. Still no code. Still nothing saved or sent anywhere.
Listen to this briefing
Hardening and Red-Teaming an AI Agent Team
New here? Start with the first two tools
This tool builds on Advanced AI Agent Builder, which itself builds on Build Your Own AI Agent. If you haven't built a Supervisor-and-Specialist team before, start there first — this tool assumes you already know what a Supervisor, a Specialist, and a checkpoint are.
What's different here
A team that plans, runs, pauses for approval, and recovers from an ordinary tool failure.
The same kind of team — hardened with production guardrails, then deliberately attacked with 5 real techniques, to see which guardrails actually hold.
What you will do — 5 steps
- 1Choose a team. Load a production-style team — the same shape you'd build in the Advanced tool.
- 2Harden it. Turn on the guardrails a real deployment would need, before anything goes live.
- 3Red-team it. Pick a real attack technique and watch it play out against your team, guardrails and all.
- 4Respond to the incident. Contain it, decide who needs to know, and log the root cause.
- 5Get your governance record. An auditor-grade record of every guardrail, every attack, and every outcome.
Choose a team to harden
Pick a production-style team — the same shape as the Advanced tool's templates, a Supervisor plus two Specialists — so you can jump straight to hardening it.
Real hardening reviews start with a team that's already been designed and approved — not a blank page. These three are the same shape as the production deployments most companies stand up first.
Four ideas this tool adds
You already know Supervisor, Plan, Checkpoint, and Recovery from the Advanced tool. Hardening a team for production adds four more ideas.
Guardrail
A specific, always-on control that blocks one category of attack — like screening tool output, or redacting secrets before they leave the team.
Attack Surface
Everywhere your team could be tricked, fooled, or exploited — a poisoned webpage, an over-eager task, or another agent's bad guess.
Red-Team
Deliberately attacking your own system before someone else does, so you find the gaps while they're still cheap to fix.
Residual Risk
What's left over after your guardrails are in place — never zero, but a number you can actually see and manage.
