Why we included this project

PyRIT, Microsoft's Python framework for generative AI risk testing, automates the repetitive parts of red teaming an LLM or agent before release. You hand it an initial set of harmful prompts and it takes over from there: generating follow-up attacks, switching tactics like Crescendo or TAP based on how the model responds, and scoring the output to flag where jailbreaks, prompt injection, or ungrounded content slip through. Because targets are pluggable and a scoring engine is built in, the same campaign can run against a local model, a hosted endpoint, or an application integration. Teams that want a repeatable, evidence-producing safety check without building their own harness will find it a practical starting point, even though it won't replace the judgment of a human red teamer.
