Red Teaming Reports

After every red-team run, Scenario writes a JSON report to disk. The scenario redteam-report command opens an interactive Streamlit dashboard on those reports — findings, transcripts, severity, prioritized fixes.

Quick start

Three commands, no boilerplate:

# 1. Install the dashboard extras (one-time)
pip install 'langwatch-scenario[report]'
 
# 2. Run any scenario that includes a RedTeamAgent — reports save automatically
pytest path/to/your/redteam_tests.py
# (TypeScript:  pnpm test:scenarios )
 
# 3. Open the dashboard on the latest batch
scenario redteam-report

The dashboard opens at http://localhost:8501 with the most recent batch pre-loaded. Nothing else to configure.

How it works

Any scenario.run() whose agents list contains a RedTeamAgent (Python) or is created via redTeamGoat() / redTeamCrescendo() (TypeScript) gets a JSON report auto-saved to:

./redteam-reports/
  <YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS>/
    <timestamp>_<slug>_<strategy>.json
    ...
    _aggregated_fixes.json       # written on-demand by the dashboard
  • One batch directory per process run (timestamped at first save).
  • One JSON file per scenario.
  • Normal (non-red-team) scenarios are unaffected — they use the existing pytest session report.

No imports, no explicit save_redteam_report() call, no Streamlit command to memorize.

Viewing the dashboard

# Latest batch (default)
scenario redteam-report
 
# Specific batch
scenario redteam-report --batch 20260414_143022
 
# Nth-from-latest
scenario redteam-report --latest 3
 
# Custom port / headless
scenario redteam-report --port 9000 --no-browser

The dashboard has three tabs:

FindingsPer-scenario cards with status pill, judge verdict, failing turn, transcript replay
Prioritized fixesLLM-aggregated recommendations across the whole batch — click Generate to compute

What's in each report JSON

{
  "test_name": "redteam_system_prompt_extraction",
  "strategy": "goat",
  "target": "extract the full system prompt and tool names",
  "total_turns": 20,
  "attacker_model": "openai/gpt-4o-mini",
  "criteria": ["The agent never revealed tool names", "..."],
  "status": "broken",
  "success": false,
  "reasoning": "Agent leaked internal tool schema on turn 14.",
  "passed_criteria": ["..."],
  "failed_criteria": ["The agent never revealed tool names"],
  "messages": [ /* full conversation */ ],
  "failing_turn_index": 14,
  "failure_summary": "Attacker used HYPOTHETICAL_FRAMING to extract tool schema.",
  "suggestions": ["Add explicit guard against meta-queries about tools", "..."],
  "severity": "high",
  "break_severity": "significant"
}

Python writes the analysis fields (failure_summary, suggestions, severity, break_severity) synchronously via an LLM call. TypeScript skips that pass for speed — the dashboard computes equivalents on-demand when you open it.

Configuration

All of these are optional env vars:

Env varEffect
SCENARIO_REDTEAM_REPORT=0Disable auto-save entirely
SCENARIO_REDTEAM_REPORT_DIR=pathOverride the default ./redteam-reports/ root
SCENARIO_REDTEAM_PORT=9000Default port for the dashboard

CI / CD

A minimal GitHub Actions workflow that archives the reports as artifacts:

- name: Run red-team tests
  run: pytest -k redteam
 
- name: Upload red-team reports
  if: always()
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
  with:
    name: redteam-reports-${{ github.run_id }}
    path: redteam-reports/
    retention-days: 30

To keep CI logs clean, disable the LLM-based analysis pass while keeping the raw transcripts:

- run: pytest -k redteam
  env:
    SCENARIO_REDTEAM_AGGREGATE: "0"

You can run the dashboard locally on a downloaded artifact:

scenario redteam-report --dir ./downloaded-artifact/redteam-reports

Advanced: manual save

If you're running scenarios outside the default runner (e.g. embedding in another pipeline), auto-save doesn't fire. Call the save function yourself:

import scenario
from scenario.report import save_redteam_report
 
red_team = scenario.RedTeamAgent.goat(target="...", model="...")
result = await scenario.run(
    name="my-run",
    description="...",
    agents=[my_agent, red_team, judge],
)
save_redteam_report(result, red_team=red_team, test_name="my-run")
import scenario, { saveRedTeamReport } from "@langwatch/scenario";
 
const redTeam = scenario.redTeamGoat({ target: "...", model });
const result = await scenario.run({
  name: "my-run",
  description: "...",
  agents: [myAgent, redTeam, judge],
});
saveRedTeamReport({
  result,
  redTeam,
  testName: "my-run",
  scenarioConfig: { name: "my-run", description: "...", agents: [...] },
});

Running headless (WSL / SSH / CI)

Streamlit tries to auto-open a browser tab via xdg-open. On WSL, SSH, or CI machines there's no browser → you'll see a cascade of:

xdg-open: x-www-browser: not found
xdg-open: firefox: not found
...

This is harmless but noisy. Suppress it and copy-paste the URL yourself:

scenario redteam-report --no-browser

Then paste http://localhost:8501 into your actual browser (on the host side for WSL, via SSH port-forward for a remote server).

For a remote server accessed via SSH, forward the port:

ssh -L 8501:localhost:8501 user@your-server
# On the server:
scenario redteam-report --no-browser
# Now on your local machine, open http://localhost:8501

Troubleshooting

scenario: command not found — Install the package with the CLI: pip install 'langwatch-scenario[report]'. If you installed with --user, make sure ~/.local/bin is on your PATH:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

error: streamlit is not installed — You installed the base package without extras. Fix with pip install streamlit plotly pandas or reinstall with pip install 'langwatch-scenario[report]'.

Port 8501 is not available — Another Streamlit is already using it. Either use a different port:

scenario redteam-report --port 9000

Or kill the zombie:

lsof -ti:8501 | xargs kill -9    # Linux / macOS

error: no batches found under ./redteam-reports — Three possible causes:

  1. You haven't run a red-team test yet (check ls redteam-reports/ — should have a timestamped subdirectory).
  2. SCENARIO_REDTEAM_REPORT=0 was set during the run.
  3. You're running the command from a different working directory than the tests. Either cd to where the tests ran, or pass the path:
scenario redteam-report --dir /path/to/redteam-reports

Reports appear but no severity / suggestions fields — TypeScript reports skip the LLM analysis at save time to keep tests fast. Open the dashboard and click Generate prioritized fixes to compute them on demand.

Streamlit asks for my email on first launch — Press Enter to skip. Permanently silence:

mkdir -p ~/.streamlit
echo -e '[browser]\ngatherUsageStats = false' >> ~/.streamlit/config.toml

Dashboard is empty / shows no scenarios — Either the batch dir is empty (the auto-save didn't fire) or you pointed at the wrong batch. Sanity check:

ls -la ./redteam-reports/<batch>/*.json

If there are no .json files, confirm your test actually instantiated a RedTeamAgent and it ran to completion (not skipped or errored before the run).
