RedEvoAgent: Automatic Red-Teaming Agent with Experience-Driven Skill Evolution

RedEvoAgent is a black-box red‑teaming agent that transforms cross‑case attack trajectories into concise, human‑readable attack skills. It evolves these skills by profiling tool effectiveness, attributing tool credit, and applying a validation ratchet to keep only improvements. Experiments demonstrate that RedEvoAgent outperforms fixed and agentic baselines, enhances tool efficiency, and transfers across attacker models and target execution harnesses.

JailbreakSkill: Scaling Automated Red-Teaming with Reusable and Ever-Evolving Skills

arXiv:2608. 16465v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated red-teaming has produced a growing collection of attack strategies, yet they typically remain scattered across prompts and workflows, making them difficult to systematically integrate, reuse, and improve at scale.

T-MAP: Red-Teaming LLM Agents with Trajectory-aware Evolutionary Search

The paper introduces T-MAP, a trajectory‑aware evolutionary search technique designed to red‑team large language model agents by exploiting vulnerabilities that arise during multi‑step tool execution. Unlike traditional methods that focus on harmful text, T‑MAP uses execution trajectories to generate adversarial prompts that bypass safety guardrails and achieve harmful objectives through actual tool interactions. Experiments across various Model Context Protocol environments show that T‑MAP outperforms baseline methods in attack realization rate and remains effective against advanced models such as GPT‑5.2, Gemini‑3‑Pro, Qwen3.5, and GLM‑5.

Black-Box Red Teaming of Agentic AI: A Taxonomy-Driven Framework for Automated Risk Discovery

The paper introduces a black-box framework for evaluating agentic AI systems, focusing on multi-step vulnerabilities that standard single-turn tests miss. It presents a seven-domain taxonomy linking observable behaviors to risk categories, an automated SAGE-RT red-teaming process generating 120 adversarial scenarios per domain, and a human-validated evaluation using LLM judges. Empirical tests on CrewAI and AutoGen agents show significant governance, privacy, and behavior risks, demonstrating the framework’s ability to uncover critical architectural weaknesses without privileged access.
