AI security & guardrails
PyRIT
A Microsoft-maintained framework focused on operational workflows for generative AI red teams.
Overview
Research summary
The Python Risk Identification Tool for generative AI, or PyRIT, supports engineers and security researchers evaluating risks in generative systems. It provides an extensible Python framework for organizing adversarial testing, connecting targets, and evaluating the resulting behavior. Its purpose is to help practitioners conduct repeatable assessments of an application and its safeguards, with human judgment still needed to interpret findings. Microsoft maintains the current source repository at microsoft/PyRIT; the earlier Azure repository is archived and directs users to this continuation.
