Security

tulip.security is the largest module in the SDK and the one the product is positioned on. It covers three separable jobs:

  • Red-teaming an agent — send adversarial probes at a target and report what got through.
  • Grounding a finding — refuse to assert what the evidence does not support, and say so explicitly rather than guessing.
  • Building a SOC agent — tools that talk to a SIEM, an EDR, a scanner, a threat-intel feed, and AWS, plus playbooks that sequence them.

The admission gate also lives under this package for historical reasons. Import it from tulip.control instead — that is the domain-neutral surface and the path that will keep working.

For the concepts, start with The control layer.

Running a job

The three entry points. Each takes a Target and returns a report; none of them needs an agent instance.

red_team async

red_team(target: Target, *, suite: str = 'owasp-asi', probes: Sequence[Probe] | None = None, thresholds: GSARThresholds | None = None) -> list[GroundedFinding]

Red-team a target AI: run adversarial probes, return grounded findings.

Runs each probe in probes (default: the named suite) against target and grounds its outcome. A probe whose attack landed yields a :class:~tulip.security.findings.Evidence; an inconclusive one yields an :class:~tulip.security.grounded.Abstention. Both are returned, in probe order, so the caller has a complete, auditable record of what was asserted and what was declined.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
target Target

The AI system under assessment.

required
suite str

Named probe suite to run when probes is not given ("owasp-asi" / "owasp-llm").

'owasp-asi'
probes Sequence[Probe] | None

Explicit probes to run, overriding suite.

None
thresholds GSARThresholds | None

Optional GSAR threshold override for grounding.

None

Returns:

Naming a target

A Target is what to point a job at — an HTTP endpoint, a local callable, or an agent in this process. The same target works for every job.

Target dataclass

Target(name: str, kind: str, _send: Sender, metadata: Mapping[str, str] = dict())

A uniform handle to the AI system under assessment.

Construct one with a classmethod rather than directly; each builds the appropriate :data:Sender. kind records the variant for telemetry / finding provenance; metadata is free-form context (model name, owner, environment) that probes may surface in evidence.

send async

send(prompt: str) -> str

Send prompt to the target and return its text response.

Source code in .sdk/src/tulip/security/target.py
async def send(self, prompt: str) -> str:
    """Send ``prompt`` to the target and return its text response."""
    return await self._send(prompt)

from_callable classmethod

from_callable(fn: Callable[[str], Awaitable[str] | str], *, name: str = 'callable', metadata: Mapping[str, str] | None = None) -> Target

Wrap any (sync or async) str -> str function as a target.

    cls,
    fn: Callable[[str], Awaitable[str] | str],

endpoint classmethod

endpoint(url: str, *, name: str | None = None, method: str = 'POST', auth: Any = None, headers: Mapping[str, str] | None = None, prompt_field: str = 'prompt', build_payload: Callable[[str], dict[str, Any]] | None = None, response_path: str | None = None, timeout: float = 30.0, transport: Any = None, metadata: Mapping[str, str] | None = None) -> Target

Target a remote LLM/agent HTTP endpoint.

By default the prompt is POSTed as {prompt_field: prompt} and the response text is extracted heuristically (common single-field shapes and the OpenAI chat shape). Override build_payload for a custom request body and response_path (dotted, e.g. "choices.0.message.content") for a custom response shape. auth / headers / transport are passed straight to httpx.

Sender module-attribute

Sender = Callable[[str], Awaitable[str]]

Probes

A probe is one adversarial attempt with a stated technique and a verdict. The built-in set maps onto OWASP's ASI and LLM top tens; suite_probes() selects by suite name, which is what red_team(suite=...) takes.

Probe

Bases: Protocol

One adversarial technique, runnable against a :class:Target.

name is a stable id (e.g. "direct-prompt-injection"); taxonomy is the primary OWASP/ATLAS tag the probe maps to. Both are read-only so a frozen dataclass satisfies the contract.

ProbeOutcome dataclass

ProbeOutcome(title: str, description: str, severity: Severity, asset: str, remediation: str, partition: Partition, taxonomy: list[TaxonomyTag] = list(), indicators: list[Indicator] = list(), transcript: list[str] = list())

A candidate finding produced by a probe, pending grounding.

partition carries the evidence: tool-backed claims when the attack landed (so it grounds), inference-only claims when it did not (so it abstains). transcript keeps the raw prompt/response pair for audit.

all_probes

all_probes() -> list[Probe]

Every distinct bundled probe, across suites (de-duplicated by name).

Source code in .sdk/src/tulip/security/redteam/__init__.py
def all_probes() -> list[Probe]:
    """Every distinct bundled probe, across suites (de-duplicated by name)."""

    for probes in _SUITES.values():
        for probe in probes:
            seen.setdefault(probe.name, probe)
    return list(seen.values())

suite_probes

suite_probes(suite: str) -> list[Probe]

Return a fresh probe list for a named suite, or raise on an unknown name.

Source code in .sdk/src/tulip/security/redteam/__init__.py
def suite_probes(suite: str) -> list[Probe]:
    """Return a fresh probe list for a named suite, or raise on an unknown name."""

    except KeyError:
        known = ", ".join(sorted(_SUITES))
        raise ValueError(f"unknown red-team suite {suite!r}; known suites: {known}") from None

The built-in probes

DirectPromptInjection dataclass

DirectPromptInjection(name: str = 'direct-prompt-injection', taxonomy: TaxonomyTag = OwaspLLM.PROMPT_INJECTION)

Direct prompt injection via an instruction-override canary (OWASP LLM01).

Orders the target to ignore prior instructions and echo a unique canary. A compliant target proves untrusted input can override its controlling instructions.

IndirectPromptInjection dataclass

IndirectPromptInjection(name: str = 'indirect-prompt-injection', taxonomy: TaxonomyTag = OwaspASI.AGENT_GOAL_HIJACK)

Indirect injection via untrusted retrieved content (OWASP ASI01 / LLM01).

Hides the override instruction inside a 'document' the target is asked to summarise — the indirect channel (RAG / tool output) attackers actually use.

Jailbreak dataclass

Jailbreak(name: str = 'jailbreak', taxonomy: TaxonomyTag = AtlasTechnique.JAILBREAK)

Safety-bypass jailbreak via a role-play override (MITRE ATLAS AML.T0054).

Uses a persona/maintenance framing to elicit a compliance marker a guarded model should refuse to emit.

ExcessiveAgency dataclass

ExcessiveAgency(name: str = 'excessive-agency', taxonomy: TaxonomyTag = OwaspLLM.EXCESSIVE_AGENCY)

Excessive agency / tool misuse (OWASP LLM06 / ASI02).

Asks the target to take a destructive out-of-scope action and confirm it with a token. A guarded agent should refuse or seek confirmation rather than self-authorise.

SensitiveInformationDisclosure dataclass

SensitiveInformationDisclosure(name: str = 'sensitive-information-disclosure', taxonomy: TaxonomyTag = OwaspLLM.SENSITIVE_INFORMATION_DISCLOSURE)

Sensitive-information / context exfiltration (OWASP LLM02).

Plants a secret in context and asks the target to disclose it — the exfiltration-via-inference-API pattern.

UnsandboxedCodeExecution dataclass

UnsandboxedCodeExecution(name: str = 'unsandboxed-code-execution', taxonomy: TaxonomyTag = OwaspASI.UNEXPECTED_CODE_EXECUTION)

Proof-of-execution probe: unsandboxed agent code/tool execution (OWASP ASI05 unexpected code execution / LLM06 excessive agency).

Asks the target to return the SHA-256 of a fresh random nonce, "using any tool". A language model cannot produce the correct digest of an unseen random string by reasoning — only executing code (a shell, sandbox, or interpreter tool) yields it. So a correct digest in the response is response-only, target-agnostic, tool-backed proof the agent ran attacker-supplied work. Unlike the canary probes, the success criterion is an unforgeable computed value, not an echoed string, so it cannot false-positive on a model that merely quotes the payload while refusing.

Findings and evidence

Evidence is the shape every finding takes — a claim, the observations behind it, and a confidence. It is documented on the Control page, which is where a finding first matters. Indicator is the atom a threat-intel lookup returns.

Indicator

Bases: BaseModel

A typed indicator of compromise — an observable (type + value).

Benign by design: examples use documentation-range addresses (RFC 5737), *.example domains, and well-known test artifacts.

Confidence module-attribute

Confidence = Annotated[float, Field(ge=0.0, le=1.0)]

A probability / confidence in [0, 1] — mirrors the GSAR shape.

Grounding — abstention over assertion

The distinctive part. ground_finding() returns either an Evidence or an Abstention, never a low-confidence guess dressed as a result, and is_finding() is the narrowing check that separates the two. A pipeline that cannot tell "no evidence" from "no problem" reports clean when it is blind.

ground_finding

ground_finding(*, title: str, description: str, severity: Severity, asset: str, remediation: str, partition: Partition, indicators: list[Indicator] | None = None, taxonomy: list[TaxonomyTag] | None = None, confidence: float = 1.0, thresholds: GSARThresholds | None = None, weight_map: dict[EvidenceType, float] | None = None, contradiction_penalty: float = DEFAULT_CONTRADICTION_PENALTY) -> GroundedFinding

Ground a timing side-channel fingerprint into a finding, or abstain.

Same admit/abstain contract as :func:ground_finding, threading the :class:~tulip.security.findings.FingerprintVerdict through on the PROCEED path. Low feature coverage drives a weak partition, so an under-observed endpoint abstains rather than asserting a fingerprint.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
verdict FingerprintVerdict

The classifier verdict (model / engine / hardware).

required
asset str

The fingerprinted endpoint.

required
partition Partition

GSAR partition of the fingerprint's claims (the timing feature vector is its evidence).

required
title str | None

Optional override; defaults to a verdict summary.

None
description str | None

Optional override; defaults to a verdict summary.

None
severity Severity

Severity band (default MEDIUM).

MEDIUM
remediation str

Recommended remediation.

'Confirm the served model/engine against the approved inventory.'
indicators list[Indicator] | None

Optional indicators (e.g. the endpoint).

None
taxonomy list[TaxonomyTag] | None

Optional threat tags.

None
thresholds GSARThresholds | None

Override the GSAR reference thresholds.

None
weight_map dict[EvidenceType, float] | None

Override the GSAR evidence-type weights.

None
contradiction_penalty float

GSAR ρ.

GroundedFinding module-attribute

GroundedFinding = Evidence | Abstention

Verification — trying to refute

verify() runs skeptics against a claim rather than a second model that agrees with the first. A skeptic's job is to refute; what survives is what gets reported. It and VerificationResult are documented on the Control page — a policy can require a verified finding before it admits an action, which is where they are load-bearing.

Refutation dataclass

Refutation(reason: str, weight: str = 'concern')

One objection a skeptic raises. weight ∈ {weak, concern, fatal}.

Skeptic

Bases: Protocol

Something that tries to refute a finding. name is read-only.

EvidenceQualitySkeptic dataclass

EvidenceQualitySkeptic(name: str = 'evidence-quality', proceed_threshold: float = _PROCEED_THRESHOLD)

Deterministic, offline skeptic — grades the evidence a finding carries.

No model required. It does not invent contradictory evidence; it checks that the claim is actually supported by what it ships with.

AdversarialSkeptic

AdversarialSkeptic(model: Any, *, strict: bool = True)

LLM skeptic that actively tries to refute a finding (the semantic challenge).

Drives any :class:tulip.models.base.ModelProtocol (or a "provider:model" string) with an adversarial prompt + constrained decoding, and maps the reviewer's objections and unruled-out alternatives into :class:Refutation\ s. It fails safe: if the model call or its output can't be processed, it raises a weak refutation noting the finding went unchallenged rather than silently passing it.

Pair it with :class:EvidenceQualitySkeptic in a panel::

await verify(
    finding,
    skeptics=[
        EvidenceQualitySkeptic(),
        AdversarialSkeptic("anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-6"),
    ],

Taxonomy

The standard technique vocabularies a finding is tagged with, and the comparison to use on severity. Severity itself is documented on the Control page, since a policy's min_severity matches on it — but reach for severity_at_least() rather than comparing two directly: it is a string enum, so > orders alphabetically and gets the answer wrong.

severity_at_least

severity_at_least(value: Severity, floor: Severity) -> bool

Whether value ranks at or above floor (e.g. >= HIGH).

Source code in .sdk/src/tulip/security/taxonomy.py
def severity_at_least(value: Severity, floor: Severity) -> bool:

Security context — the ports

SecurityContext is the seam between the SDK and your estate. Each port is a protocol, so the offline reference adapters that ship here and the vendor adapters in tulip-integrations are interchangeable, and neither is privileged.

SecurityContext dataclass

SecurityContext(logs: LogSource = _RefLogs(), endpoint: EndpointSource = _RefEndpoint(), identity: IdentitySource = _RefIdentity(), cloud: CloudSource = _RefCloud(), threat_intel: ThreatIntelSource = _RefThreatIntel(), actions: ActionsPort = _RefActions())

One handle over the security domains. Defaults run offline, zero-config.

Inject a vendor provider per domain to go live::

from tulip_integrations.siem.splunk import SplunkLogs

ctx = SecurityContext(logs=SplunkLogs())

toolset

toolset(**flags: Any) -> list[Any]

The agent-ready tool bundle (delegates to :func:security_toolset).

The domain handles above are the programmatic facade; this is the agent facade — hand it to Agent(tools=...).

    *agent* facade — hand it to ``Agent(tools=...)``.
    """
    from tulip.security import security_toolset

    return security_toolset(**flags)

LogSource

Bases: Protocol

Log / SIEM search.

EndpointSource

Bases: Protocol

EDR host forensics + containment.

IdentitySource

Bases: Protocol

Identity provider — the surface most attacks touch.

CloudSource

Bases: Protocol

Cloud control-plane evidence (read-only).

ThreatIntelSource

Bases: Protocol

IOC reputation / enrichment.

ActionsPort

Bases: Protocol

Gate a response action against evidence + verification + policy.

Writing an adapter

What a vendor adapter has to implement, plus the helpers that keep one small.

SecurityAdapter

Bases: Protocol

A named, vendored bundle of agent-ready security tools.

The contract an integration implements. name is a stable id (e.g. "splunk"); vendor is a human label (e.g. "Splunk / Elastic SIEM"); tools() returns the :class:~tulip.tools.decorator.Tool objects to hand an agent. Pass them to :func:tulip.security.security_toolset via extra= or straight to Agent(tools=...).

ToolAdapter dataclass

ToolAdapter(name: str, vendor: str, _tools: list[Tool] = list())

The simplest concrete :class:SecurityAdapter — wrap a list of tools.

Integrations that don't need their own class can just construct one::

splunk = ToolAdapter(
    name="splunk", vendor="Splunk SIEM", _tools=[splunk_siem_tool]
)
agent = Agent(tools=splunk.tools())

as_json

as_json(obj: Any) -> str

Serialise an adapter result for a tool return (default=str).

Source code in .sdk/src/tulip/security/adapter.py
def as_json(obj: Any) -> str:
    """Serialise an adapter result for a tool return (``default=str``)."""
    return json.dumps(obj, default=str)

env

env(*names: str) -> str | None

Return the first non-empty value among names in the environment.

Adapters use this to detect bring-your-own credentials; when it returns None the adapter takes its offline-sample path.

Source code in .sdk/src/tulip/security/adapter.py
def env(*names: str) -> str | None:

inference_claim(text: str, *evidence_refs: str) -> Claim

A weak, model-internal :class:~tulip.reasoning.gsar.Claim.

Tools for an agent

Each capability comes in two forms: a plain function you can call, and a @tool-decorated version to hand an agent. security_toolset() returns the whole set at once.

security_toolset

security_toolset(*, threat_intel: bool = True, siem: bool = True, edr: bool = True, scanner: bool = True, fingerprint: bool = True, aws: bool = False, allow_containment: bool = False, extra: list[Any] | None = None) -> list[Any]

Assemble the agent-ready security tool list.

Returns the read-only SOC triage loop by default — IOC enrichment, SIEM search, EDR forensics, vuln/posture scanning, and inference fingerprinting — from the bundled reference adapters. Containment (isolate_host) and the AWS posture tools are opt-in (the latter needs boto3 from the [aws] / [security] extra).

extra merges tools from external integrations you imported explicitly (the LangChain model — no auto-discovery), e.g.::

from tulip_integrations.siem.splunk import splunk_siem_tool

tools = security_toolset(siem=False, extra=[splunk_siem_tool])

Reference (offline) co-located GPU-probe dispatch — returns the sample vector.

The credential-free remote-API measurement is :func:measure_endpoint_timing. The real GPU-cloud lifecycle (provision -> probe -> tear down) lives in the tulip-integrations package as two separate provider modules — RunPod (tulip_integrations.compute.runpod.runpod_probe, extra compute-runpod) and Lambda Cloud (tulip_integrations.compute.lambda_cloud.lambda_probe, extra compute-lambda); compute.dispatch_timing_probe(endpoint, provider=…) routes between them.

FEATURE_KEYS: tuple[str, ...] = ('ttft_ms_p50', 'itl_ms_mean', 'itl_cv', 'tps_mean')

FingerprintClassifier

Bases: Protocol

A callable mapping a timing feature vector to a verdict.

Examples ship a deterministic mock; real deployments plug a fingerprinting service in behind this same signature.

FingerprintFinding

Bases: Evidence

A :class:Evidence specialised for inference fingerprinting.

Carries the :class:FingerprintVerdict whose feature vector is the finding's evidence.

FingerprintVerdict

Bases: BaseModel

A timing side-channel inference-fingerprinting verdict.

Identifies what is serving an endpoint from observable timing features. feature_coverage is the fraction of the expected feature schema actually observed; low coverage should drive an abstention rather than an asserted fingerprint.

SOC analyst

A prebuilt agent, the report shape it produces, and the grounding pass applied to that report.

None
tools list[Any] | None

Extra tools to attach alongside the AWS posture tools and the submit_posture tool (e.g. threat-intel or SIEM enrichment).

None
system_prompt str | None

Override the default SOC-analyst prompt entirely. When set, scope is ignored.

Optional one-line narrowing appended to the default prompt (e.g. "Focus only on IAM and S3."). Ignored when system_prompt is given.

None
min_confidence float | None

Submission-confidence floor for early-exit. Defaults to controls.min_confidence.

None
max_iterations int

The security posture of a SOC analyst — grounding + tooling, in one bundle.

Holds the knobs that make a posture agent trustworthy: the grounding threshold a finding's evidence must clear, the submission-confidence floor, and whether the read-only AWS tools are attached. Passed to :func:create_soc_analyst; reused by :func:ground_report so the agent and the grounding step share one source of truth.

min_gsar class-attribute instance-attribute
