Evaluation guide

What buyers should verify

Additional security requirement

Generative AI application security

Protect enterprise-built large language model (LLM) applications, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, prompts, application programming interfaces (APIs), model calls, tools, and production runtime behavior.

Questions to test
  1. A test large language model (LLM) application event records prompt, application programming interface (API), model, retrieval, or tool interaction context.
  2. A prompt-injection or unsafe-output test is detected, blocked, or flagged by the guardrail or large language model (LLM) firewall.
  3. The evidence links the event to an application, endpoint, request identifier, or workflow.

Foundational security requirement

AI gateway, tool-connection, and runtime controls

Mediate model, agent, tool, application programming interface (API), connector, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) traffic through an enforcement point that applies identity-aware policy, content controls, routing, rate limits, and auditable allow or deny decisions.

Questions to test
  1. A model, agent, tool, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) request passes through a named policy enforcement point.
  2. A test policy allows, blocks, transforms, redirects, or rate-limits the request with an explicit reason.
  3. The audit event records caller identity, destination, tool or model, policy decision, and timestamp.

Foundational security requirement

Action-taking agent monitoring

Observe and govern agent plans, memory, tool calls, delegated tasks, autonomy, runtime decisions, and outcomes.

Questions to test
  1. A test agent run captures plan, steps, tool calls, outcome, and timestamps.
  2. Agent memory, delegated task, autonomy, or runtime decision detail is visible in a timeline or log.
  3. Out-of-policy or unusual agent behavior can be flagged or filtered for investigation.
