The Foundry scenario family provides the RedTeamAgent — a comprehensive red teaming scenario
that combines converter-based attacks (encoding/obfuscation), multi-turn attacks (Crescendo,
RedTeaming), and technique composition. It’s organized into difficulty levels: EASY, MODERATE,
and DIFFICULT.
For full programming details, see Common Scenario Parameters.

Azure Key Vault through env_akv_ref is more secure for shared or deployed secrets; use .env.local only for deliberate local overrides. To inspect a resolved AKV-only configuration from a source checkout, run `python -m build_scripts.export_akv_environment`; it writes ~/.pyrit/.env_akv.
TextAdaptive: _EXCLUDED_TECHNIQUES entries ['prompt_sending'] are not in the current scenario-techniques catalog ['context_compliance', 'crescendo_history_lecture', 'crescendo_journalist_interview', 'crescendo_movie_director', 'crescendo_simulated', 'many_shot', 'pair', 'red_teaming', 'role_play', 'tap', 'violent_durian']; the exclusion is a no-op for those entries. Remove stale entries or update the catalog.
RedTeamAgent¶
Tests a target using a wide range of attack techniques — from simple encoding converters to complex multi-turn conversations. The default dataset is HarmBench.
CLI example:
pyrit_scan run foundry.red_team_agent --target openai_chat --techniques base64 --max-total 1Available techniques by difficulty:
| Difficulty | Techniques |
|---|---|
| EASY | AnsiAttack, AsciiArt, AsciiSmuggler, Atbash, Base64, Binary, Caesar, CharacterSpace, CharSwap, Diacritic, Flip, Jailbreak, Leetspeak, Morse, ROT13, StringJoin, SuffixAppend, UnicodeConfusable, UnicodeSubstitution, Url |
| MODERATE | Tense |
| DIFFICULT | Crescendo, MultiTurn, Pair, Tap |
| Aggregates | ALL, EASY, MODERATE, DIFFICULT |

📋 Scenario Details
• Name: RedTeamAgent
• Result ID: 3a063d48-3251-4f29-af89-e45787c9d675
• Scenario Version: 1
• PyRIT Version: 1.2.0.dev0
• Description:
RedTeamAgent is a preconfigured scenario that automatically generates multiple AtomicAttack instances based on
the specified attack techniques. It supports both single-turn attacks (with various converters) and multi-turn
attacks (Crescendo, RedTeaming), making it easy to quickly test a target against multiple attack vectors. The
scenario can expand difficulty levels (EASY, MODERATE, DIFFICULT) into their constituent attack techniques, or
you can specify individual techniques directly. This scenario is designed for use with the Foundry AI Red
Teaming Agent library, providing a consistent PyRIT contract for their integration.

Technique Composition¶
You can pair a multi-turn attack with one or more converter techniques using FoundryComposite.
Each converter in the composite is applied in sequence before the attack runs.
from pyrit.scenario.foundry import FoundryComposite
composed = FoundryComposite(attack=FoundryTechnique.Crescendo, converters=[FoundryTechnique.Caesar, FoundryTechnique.CharSwap])# from pyrit.scenario.foundry import FoundryComposite
# composed = FoundryComposite(attack=FoundryTechnique.Crescendo, converters=[FoundryTechnique.Caesar, FoundryTechnique.CharSwap])
# scenario_techniques = [FoundryTechnique.Base64, composed]For more details, see the Scenarios Programming Guide and Configuration.
