Prompt Injection Test
Run 13 real attack patterns against your agent. Pick one, send it, paste the response, and see if the injection's marker made it through.
Client-side only. A pass means "held against this probe", not "safe".
Run a pattern
The pattern library
Grouped by family. Each probes a distinct way a model gets talked out of its instructions.
Goal hijacking
Overriding the task to print an attacker-chosen string (PromptInject).
Ignore and say
A direct countermand that tells the model to just say the target string.
PromptInject (Agency Enterprise, MIT)Ignore and print
The print variant, which slips past filters that only look for "say".
PromptInject (Agency Enterprise, MIT)Ignore and print (uppercase)
Whether shouting the instruction changes how it is treated.
PromptInject (Agency Enterprise, MIT)Nevermind
A false retraction of the prior context before the real instruction.
PromptInject (Agency Enterprise, MIT)Screaming stop
Whether urgency framing pressures the model into compliance.
PromptInject (Agency Enterprise, MIT)Role hijack
Reassigning who the model is to unlock new behaviour.
Unrestricted-persona ("DAN")
Whether adopting a rule-free persona strips the guardrails tied to the original one.
garak dan probe (technique)Privileged-role assertion
Whether claiming an elevated role is enough to be treated as one.
documented techniqueData exfiltration
Coaxing out the system prompt, tools, or private context.
System-prompt readback
Whether the model will repeat its own hidden instructions on request.
documented techniqueTool-schema disclosure
Whether the model will enumerate the tools and schemas it was given.
documented techniqueEncoded payload
The same asks hidden from naive filters.
Base64-wrapped instruction
Whether an instruction survives base64 encoding past filters that only scan plain text.
garak encoding probe (technique)Homoglyph / spacing evasion
Whether unusual spacing slips an instruction past keyword matching.
garak encoding probe (technique)Indirect injection
Attacks arriving through retrieved content, not the user turn.
Poisoned retrieved document
Whether an instruction planted in content the agent reads (not the user turn) is obeyed.
AgentDojo-style indirect injection (technique)Malicious tool result
Whether an instruction embedded in a tool or API result is treated as a command.
AgentDojo-style indirect injection (technique)Goal-hijacking patterns are the PromptInject dataset (Agency Enterprise, MIT), whose rogue-string method matches this tool's canary scoring. Other families are canary-instrumented versions of techniques catalogued by garak and AgentDojo.
What the score does and doesn't prove
Each attack tells the model to emit a marker token only if it complies. Scoring searches your pasted response for that token, in your browser.
Strong signal the injection took. The model produced a string it was told to produce only on compliance.
Weaker signal. It held against this probe, which is not the same as robust: it may be manipulable in ways that never emit a canary.
- The wording here may not match the attacks you actually face.
- A response pasted from a different prompt will score wrong.
- This catches obvious failures fast. It is not a security audit.
Catching an injection once is a spot check. Catching it on every run in production is continuous evaluation, which is what Prefactor does. Seeagent guardrails →
Open-source red-team tools
This is a fast manual check. For automated coverage in CI, these open-source projects are the standard, and the families above draw on the same documented attacks.
garak
LLM vulnerability scanner: injection, jailbreak, and encoding probes, run from the CLI against most providers.
AgentDojo
Benchmark for tool-calling agents: hundreds of cases injecting through retrieved data. Closest to real indirect injection.
PyRIT
Risk-identification toolkit strong on multi-turn and multi-modal attacks, for scripted red-team runs.
Promptfoo
Red-team and eval harness for CI/CD, so injection checks gate every change.
Frequently asked questions
How does the scoring work?
Each attack tells the model to emit a unique marker (a "canary") only if it obeys. The tool searches your pasted response for it. Finding it is strong evidence the injection took. Runs in your browser.
What can this NOT tell me?
A clean result means the agent did not emit the canary for the patterns you ran. It is not proof of robustness: the wording may not match your threats, and a response from a different prompt will score wrong. A pass means "held against this probe", not "safe".
Do I run these against a live agent?
Yes. Copy an attack, send it through the channel you want to test (user message, retrieved document, tool result), then paste back the reply. The tool never contacts your agent.
Where do the patterns come from?
The goal-hijacking set is the PromptInject dataset (Agency Enterprise, MIT), imported verbatim; its rogue-string method is the same canary scoring this tool uses. The other families are canary-instrumented versions of techniques from garak and AgentDojo. The "Go deeper" section links all of them.
