AI Agent Security Assessment

AI agents introduce risk when models can select tools, call APIs, modify records, execute code, or trigger workflows. SCS validates whether controls hold when the agent is manipulated or confused.

Quick Answer

Secure Consulting Solutions (SCS) provides an AI Agent Security Assessment for systems where models can select tools, call APIs, modify records, execute code, or trigger workflows.

The assessment validates whether agent controls hold when prompts, context, tools, approvals, and authorization boundaries are manipulated or confused.

Deliverables include tool-call evidence, unsafe action paths, approval boundary analysis, remediation guidance, and retest scenarios.

Assessment summary
Identity Which users, roles, service accounts, or workflows can trigger agent actions.
Evidence Prompts, tool calls, tool inputs and outputs, approval states, logs, and state changes.
Risk Unsafe tool use, approval bypass, authorization failure, goal hijacking, and workflow abuse.
Deliverable Executive summary, technical report, tool-call evidence, findings CSV, remediation guidance, and retest plan.

What this assessment answers

  • Can prompt injection drive the agent into unauthorized tool use?
  • Are tool permissions scoped to the user and task?
  • Can the agent perform unsafe actions without approval?
  • Do API trust chains enforce authorization outside the model?
  • Can multi-step manipulation create a workflow abuse path?

What we test

  • Tool misuse
  • Unsafe actions
  • Insecure tool execution
  • API trust chain failures
  • Authorization boundary failures
  • Goal hijacking
  • Workflow abuse paths
  • Audit and logging gaps

Evidence captured

  • Prompt and tool-call sequence
  • Tool inputs and outputs where available
  • Identity and role context
  • Action approval boundaries
  • Resulting state changes
  • Remediation and retest guidance

SCS Approach

Operator-led, evidence-first assessment.

Agent testing focuses on what the system can do, not only what the model can say. SCS tests tool boundaries, workflow assumptions, and operator approval points.

Common Buyer Questions

AI agent assessment questions.

Q

Can you test unsafe tool use?

Yes. SCS tests whether the agent can be driven to call tools outside the intended user role, task, approval flow, or business boundary.

Q

Do you validate approval bypass?

Yes. The assessment checks whether high-impact actions require the expected approval and whether prompt or workflow manipulation can bypass that control.

Q

Do you inspect tool-call evidence?

Yes, when available. Findings capture the prompt, tool selection, inputs, outputs, identity context, approval boundary, and resulting state change.

Q

Is this the same as chatbot testing?

No. Chatbot testing focuses heavily on answers. Agent testing focuses on what the system can do through tools, APIs, workflows, and permissions.

Need evidence, not a generic scan?

SCS scopes AI security assessments around architecture, identities, data paths, evidence, remediation, and retest.
