What is agent-probe and how does it test AI agents?

Agent-probe runs 24 targeted probes on your agent, hitting LLM and tool layers for injections, misuse, overreach—real attacks, no mocks. Wrap in 3 lines, get SARIF results.

Why do AI agents fail tool security tests?

LLMs spot obvious danger but pass raw args to tools without validation; frameworks trust blindly, creating a execution gap for SQLi, path traversal, SSRF.

Can agent-probe prevent AI agent breaches?

It exposes flaws pre-deploy via CI/CD integration—not prevention, but mandatory scanning to harden your tool layer against real exploits.

⚡ Key Takeaways

Modern LLMs block LLM-level attacks, but tool layers execute malicious args blindly. 𝕏
Agent-probe v0.6.0 adds critical input validation probes for SQLi, SSRF, path traversal. 𝕏
The real security gap is the 200ms between LLM decision and tool run—no framework validation. 𝕏
