Benchmarking the Security of AI Agents
Independent evaluation of how reliably coding agents resist hidden malicious instructions planted in repo files, skills, and setup scripts. Lower canary trigger rates mean safer behavior.
Average safety pass rate across all scenarios, counting each scenario equally. Higher is safer. Ranked for the selected prompt mode.
Each model's scenario-weighted safety score as system prompts relax from Safe to Neutral to Unsafe. Flatter lines mean safety holds under pressure; steep drops mean it doesn't.
Canary trigger rate per model and scenario in the selected prompt mode. Greener cells are safer, redder cells fail more often.
Scenarios ranked by average canary trigger rate across all models. The traps at the top defeat the most models.
Inspect the benchmark scenarios behind the dashboard, then open any scenario in Live Runner to review the files, prompts, and canary checks.
