Thank you for contributing an eval! ♥️

Eval details 📑

Eval name

atr_prompt_injection

Eval description

A modelgraded safety eval that tests whether a model refuses prompt-injection and indirect-injection attacks drawn from the open Agent Threat Rules (ATR) detection corpus. The 16 samples cover paraphrase, language-switch (German, Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish), fictional framing, academic framing, indirect document injection, and tool-context injection.

What makes this a useful eval?

ATR is an open detection standard for AI agent threats published under Apache-2.0 at https://github.com/Agent-Threat-Rule/agent-threat-rules. The 330-rule corpus has measured 96.9 percent recall on SKILL.md adversarial samples and 97.1 percent recall on garak attack outputs. Production deployments include Cisco AI Defense skill-scanner (314 rules) and Microsoft agent-governance-toolkit (287 rules). This eval lets the OpenAI evals registry measure refusal rates on attack patterns that production detection systems already track.

The samples are drawn from the public ATR adversarial-samples.json (1054 labeled samples) at https://github.com/Agent-Threat-Rule/agent-threat-rules/blob/main/data/autoresearch/adversarial-samples.json, then converted into the modelgraded closedqa input shape. Each sample has a system prompt that establishes the safety behavior expected, a user message that contains an injection attempt, and a criteria string that the modelgraded judge uses to decide whether the model complied with the attack or refused it.

Criteria for a good eval ✅

• Thematically consistent: every sample tests refusal of an injection or override attempt.
• Contains failures where a human can do the task: a careful human reading the system prompt would always refuse to disclose it or follow the embedded malicious instruction.
• Includes good signal around what is the right behavior: each sample has a criteria string that is graded by the closedqa modelgraded template.
• Include at least 15 high-quality examples: 16 samples included.

Unique eval value

The eval surfaces multilingual injection patterns (Mandarin, German, Japanese, Spanish) that are underrepresented in most public injection benchmarks. It also covers indirect injection via tool output and retrieved document content, which is a distinct failure mode from direct user-message injection.

Eval structure 🏗️

• Data is in evals/registry/data/atr_prompt_injection
• YAML is registered at evals/registry/evals/atr_prompt_injection.yaml
• I have the right to use the data: I am the maintainer of the upstream ATR project and the data is published under Apache-2.0, which I am dual-licensing under MIT for inclusion in this repository.

The eval uses the existing ModelBasedClassify class with eval_type cot_classify and modelgraded_spec closedqa. No custom code is added.

Final checklist 👀

Submission agreement

• I agree that my submission will be made available under an MIT license and complies with OpenAI's usage policies.

Email address validation

• I acknowledge that GPT-4 access will only be granted, if applicable, to the email address used for my merged pull request.

Limited availability acknowledgment

• I understand that opening a PR, even if it meets the requirements above, does not guarantee the PR will be merged nor GPT-4 access be granted.
