What's Inside

• 1. Probabilistic Behavior Testing
  You cannot unit-test a distribution with a single pass. Verify the agent behaves within tolerance across repeated, adversarial, and drifted conditions.
• 2. Training Data and Supply Chain
  The data and weights your agent relies on are part of its attack surface. Verify provenance, integrity, and access controls.
• 3. Agent Tool Controls
  Every tool you give an agent expands its blast radius. Minimize permissions, validate inputs, and audit every call.
• 4. Prompt Injection Defense Layers
  Assume injection will be attempted. Defense must hold even if the model is fully compromised.
• 5. Pre-Ship Sign-Off
  This section is not about code. It is about accountability. Someone must own the decision to ship.
