Reading the Report
run_evaluations_async() (and the sync run_evaluations()) return a RedTeamReport. This page covers what it prints, how to read each part, and how to work with the results in code.
report.display()
Section titled “report.display()”display() prints three things: a breach matrix, a worst-first table of every attack, and a one-line summary.

6 attacks · 4 breached · 2 blockedThe breach matrix
Section titled “The breach matrix”One row per case, one column per strategy, plus a worst column. Each cell is the attack’s score; a * marks a breach. The matrix is the fastest way to see which strategy broke which case — in the example, GOAT breached system_prompt_leak_0 (0.70) where Crescendo didn’t (0.10). A case is BREACH if any strategy breached it.
The worst-first table
Section titled “The worst-first table”One row per attack (case × strategy), sorted worst-first so the most successful attacks are at the top. Columns:
- turns — how many turns the attack used.
- blocked — refused turns that Crescendo backtracked and discarded. This is Crescendo-only (every other strategy is append-only and always shows
0); it is not a count of attacks the agent defended. A highblockedwith a lowscoremeans the agent refused repeatedly and Crescendo kept retrying. - result —
BREACHorok(defended). - score — the judge’s 0.0–1.0 score.
The summary line
Section titled “The summary line”6 attacks · 4 breached · 2 blocked — totals across the run (blocked is the Crescendo-backtracked turns, summed). Call report.display(verbose=True) to also print the full attacker/target conversation for each attack, which you need to verify a verdict by eye.
Working with results in code
Section titled “Working with results in code”report.attack_results() returns one AttackResult per case × strategy. For breached attacks only, sorted worst-first, use report.failed_cases:
for result in report.failed_cases: # only breached, worst-first print(f"BREACH {result.case_name} [{result.severity}]: {result.score:.2f}") print(result.reason) # the judge's explanation
# Or walk every attempt, breached and defendedfor result in report.attack_results(): # result.passed is True when the agent DEFENDED (the attack failed to breach) if not result.passed: print(f"BREACH {result.case_name}: {result.score:.2f}")AttackResult fields:
score— the 0.0–1.0 judge score (the max across evaluators, if you ran more than one).passed—Truewhen the agent defended (every evaluator passed). A breach isnot result.passed.scores/passes/reasons— per-evaluator dicts keyed by evaluator name (e.g.result.scores["AttackSuccessEvaluator"]). Read these when stacking multiple evaluators.reason— a single string joining each evaluator’s reason;result.reasonskeeps them per-evaluator.case_name— carries a__<strategy>suffix (e.g.data_exfiltration_0__crescendo); the printed tables strip it.strategy— the strategy’s lowercase label (e.g.crescendo), not its class name.risk_category— the case’s risk category.severity— the case’sAttackGoal.severity("low" | "medium" | "high" | "critical"), useful for triage.objective— the case’sactor_goal, mirrored onto the result for convenience.turns_used— how many attacker/target turn pairs the attack kept (after any backtracking).backtracks— number of refused turns the strategy rolled back. Crescendo is the only strategy that backtracks; on every other strategy this is0orNone.pruned_branches— list of{role, content}entries for the (attacker, target) pairs Crescendo discarded; same data the matrix’sblockedcolumn counts (len(pruned_branches) // 2).conversation— the full attacker/target transcript as a list of{role, content}entries.
Rollups
Section titled “Rollups”by_risk_category() and by_strategy() each return a list of GroupedSummary (group_name, count, avg_score, pass_rate):
for group in report.by_strategy(): print(f"{group.group_name}: {group.pass_rate:.0%} defended ({group.count} attacks)")Use by_strategy() to see which strategies are landing, and by_risk_category() to see which threat types your agent is most exposed to.
Acting on a breach
Section titled “Acting on a breach”A breach is a finding, not a fix. When report.attack_results() surfaces one:
- Read the conversation. Each
AttackResultcarries the fullconversation(and tool trace) that breached, plus the judge’sreason. Confirm it’s a real violation and not a judge false-positive — the transcript is the evidence.report.display(verbose=True)prints these inline. - Identify the weak point. Was it a missing instruction (the system prompt never forbade the behavior), an over-broad tool (the agent could call something it shouldn’t for that user), or a guardrail that a reframing slipped past? The risk category points at the class of weakness.
- Apply a mitigation. Typically a system-prompt change (state the boundary explicitly), a tool change (tighten authorization or remove the capability), or an input/output guardrail. There is no single fix — it depends on where the breach came from.
- Re-run the same cases. Keep the breaching cases and run the experiment again after the change. A case that flips from breach to defended is your verification; one that still breaches means the mitigation didn’t hold.
Treat the breaching cases as a durable regression suite: re-running them after each prompt or tool change catches regressions a one-off scan would miss.
