Is it possible to red teamin with node package

I used the command promptfoo share to upload the evaluation results to www.promptfoo.app. However, when I create a shareable link and try to share it with others, the link doesn't work—regardless of whether it's set to public or not. this is a generated sample link: https://www.promptfoo.app/register?invite_code=8d8650f5-8717-428c-a0d3-6a690ae39ed5&eval_id=eval-J77-2025-05-29T07:23:34 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1377550615995093122/1377550616175579146/Screenshot_2025-05-29_at_3.33.20_PM.png?ex=68395f7c&is=68380dfc&hm=7873b1a815939c905a611c0f20163dd51458407d4c8251eec974677c8f8e61b3&

Can anybody share me the example to pass multi-modal data like video, images, or audio to the Gemini Flash model?

How is enterprise self-host different from teams taking the github version and deploying it on a kubernetes cluster? Also, what is the pricing - it does not list it on the site.

Currently, even after setting the environment variable, there is a single message per eval that gets sent to promptfoo server stating "telemetry is disabled". Can we update the code to not do so if the variable is set to not use telemetry?

Hi, using promptfoo I have setup a redteam scan and want to use client generated session ID. However, when selecting this option and placing {{sessionId}} in the body of the request promptfoo sends an empty string for the sessionId. Does anyone know of a known issue with this functionality? Thanks

Promptfoo allows uploading of tests and YAML config files from web eval page. These get stored in a persistent storage as well. Why not allow the same capability for provider file? If there are more folks looking for similar capability, I can work on submitting a pull request. But before I do so, I am interested in knowing why it is not allowed in the first place.

Hi everyone! I'm humbly looking for suggestions and opinions on how to assert on complex, sometimes deeply nested, extracted entities. My task extracts several entities from pdf documents and I am already using promptfoo to assert and build up metrics for performance. But it's getting ever so hard because of the complexity of the extracted entities. For example, this is one of my assertions:

- type: python
      value: ('Outorgar Poderes' in output['pessoas_analisadas'][1]['restricoes_valor'] and '12' in output['pessoas_analisadas'][1]['restricoes_valor']['Outorgar Poderes']['valor_alcada'] and 'meses' in output['pessoas_analisadas'][1]['restricoes_valor']['Outorgar Poderes']['valor_alcada'])
      metric: alcada

And this is not even robust, becase it depends on the order of the

output['pessoas_analisadas']

list being consistent across different evals. I'd appreciate any sugestion. Meanwhile, I was even considering contributing a

transform

property to assert-sets, which would enable this kind of syntax:

tests:
  - description: test for persona 1
    vars:
      - file://path/to/pdf
    assert:
      - type: assert-set
        transform: next(o for o in output['pessoas_analisadas'] if o['nome'] == 'NAME OF PERSON')
        assert:
          - type: python
            value: ('Outorgar Poderes' in output['restricoes_valor'] and '12' in output['restricoes_valor']['Outorgar Poderes']['valor_alcada'] ...

Opinions?

I am hesitant to open a bug issue in the github repo simply because this issue (https://github.com/promptfoo/promptfoo/issues/1626) mentions there has a been a fix last year. However, I am trying the same return from the OP of the issue and not getting any metrics shown in the UI:

python
def get_assert(output: dict[str, any], context) -> bool | float | GradingResult:
    return {
      'pass': True,
      'score': 0.11,
      'reason': 'Looks good to me',
      'named_scores': {
         'answer_similarity': 0.12,
         'answer_correctness': 0.13,
         'answer_relevancy': 0.14,
      }
    }

I was expecting to see the three

answer_*

named metrics appearing up top https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1380231112252723332/1380231112629944341/Screenshot_2025-06-05_at_14.04.57.png?ex=68431fe4&is=6841ce64&hm=1e59574abdb29e00278b719905d74efcea8620d330947203cbe31d0c4fc9301b&

When I'm attempting to generate my redteam prompts (promptfoo redteam generate), I keep consistently running into "SyntaxError" issues in JSON, seemingly at inconsistent points during generation. I've tried multiple times and keep running into the same error:

Is this a Promptfoo bug by chance? Or is it possible I'm doing something wrong? Happy to DM over my promptfooconfig.yaml if helpful

I’m wondering if promptfoo executes a MCP models tool calls, when it’s requested by the model or is that only possible when function callbacks are implemented?

For the functionality listed here: https://www.promptfoo.dev/docs/providers/simulated-user/, which model/provider generates the response on behalf of the user? How can we provide configuration for the model to use for response generation?

No matter what I enter in the latency, I always get the value of

Hello, is there any way to double escape speech marks? ... or to prevent prompts from containing speech marks?

Hi I want to ask if promptfoo already support headers in websocket because I'm getting Websocket error: {} when trying to connect to the websocket.

Hello I'm trying to setup red-team but generating the prompts with either an azure open ai model or a vertex gemini model. Both of them say they're picking up the the provider but the prompt generation still appears proxied in promptfooconfig.yaml

redteam:
  provider: vertex:gemini-2.0-flash

I would expect to see vertex prompts not the https://api.promptfoo.app/api/ in logs or am I missing something https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1383038229430800417/1383038229657423903/message.txt?ex=684d5639&is=684c04b9&hm=e886247025063d28d786293cbbb0f5896f90d0fef84507c57f7a63f9794547fa&

Hi! I'm running into an issue while using promptfoo in a GitHub Action CI pipeline triggered by a Pull Request. Here's the setup: In my PR, I have a test config file like this: prompts: - '{{query}}' providers: - python:rag_provider.py:call_api defaultTest: assert: - type: answer-relevance threshold: 0.7 - type: context-relevance threshold: 0.7 vars: context: python:rag_context_loader.py:get_var tests: - question.csv The intention is for the context variable to be dynamically loaded by executing the Python function get_var() inside rag_context_loader.py. However, during the GitHub Action run (CI triggered by the PR), promptfoo does not seem to execute the Python function. Instead, it sets the context to the raw string "python:rag_context_loader.py:get_var".

Heya. Tldr: how do you write, debug and run parts of your tests & scenarios? I have a pretty big

promptfooconfig.yaml

file with different scenarios etc. to catch regressions in CI and evaluate potential prompts & models. I use a custom Python provider & some custom python assertions, along with built in ones. My current process of authoring new tests is: - add new test - comment out most of the file - if something goes wrong, add print statements, rinse and repeat Obviously this is not the best. I was never able to get

--filter-pattern

or

--filter-metadata

to work, and the entire

promptfooconfig

file is always run. I just found a way to potentially attach a python debugger, but it's a bit rough: https://github.com/promptfoo/promptfoo/commit/41cc82b2489efce4b167ebb25cc8cc6bcaf667b9

We currently organize our prompts into directories mainly centered around an "invocation" function which is responsible for 1. filling in prompt template variables, 2. calling llm, 3. doing some minor post-processing on the response. I am currently thinking that the way to integrate would be to create a custom provider which takes in the name of one of these prompt directories as the "prompt" and invokes it with the vars given, would this be an advisable way to structure things? It feels like it may be a bit of a hack. Also open to modifying current structure as we already have prompts in a template format that is compatible with promptfoo, but it would be nice to include our post-processing logic in our evals without duplicating code. Also if relevant, working in typescript

Hi! I am performing testing on an LLM in dev env with the following:

plugins:
 - id: debug-access  # Tests for exposed debugging interfaces and commands
  strategies:
    - id: basic  # Original plugin tests without any additional strategies or optimizations
    - id: jailbreak:composite  # Combines multiple jailbreak techniques for enhanced effectiveness
    - id: jailbreak:likert  # Uses Likert scale-based prompts to bypass content filters
    - id: jailbreak  # Single-shot optimization of safety bypass techniques

~~Saw a "Fail" case that made use of Base64 encoded image as shown in the uploaded picture. Would like to check if it is possible to get the final prompt sent to the LLM or how this prompt is created. Also unsure if the prompt was generated under DebugAccess or by a strategy. Any help or advice on where to check is greatly appreciated. Thank you!~~ *Edit: * Realised the UI interprets the prompt as a base64 image because of the following line in the ResultsTable.tsx

if (
       typeof value === 'string' &&
        (value.match(/^data:(image\/[a-z]+|application\/octet-stream);base64,/) ||
         value.match(/^\/[0-9A-Za-z+/]{4}.*/))
)

Still unsure about the actual prompt being sent out, as manually using the prompt listed in the image gets a PASS response. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1385158186046324829/1385158186494984294/base64_fail.PNG?ex=68565e16&is=68550c96&hm=970229f01b0872c18132009b9e4e8014b90515de8f2aaa8fb687b76892458fb4&

Hello! I have a local MCP server developed using FastMCP. What I want is to check if a user prompt is causing the execution of a tool and then I want to do some asserts on the output of the MCP tool call. How can I do that locally?

Hi! I was just using promptfoo for the first time and this message popped up in all my evaluation. I've checked my Python and there is no 'startsWith', so don't know what it means. The only thing I've got in my evals is ERROR but not explained. Any idea? Thanks!

Is it possible to export the red teaming results PDF from the CLI? Currently the promptfoo redteam report only starts the web server browser UI. I don’t see any other options in the command line documentation. Thanks

We moved from local evals to remove evals. We run the evals in local and upload them with --share. Works fine, however the variable columns are not displayed in the self-hosted remote promptfoo web ui.

When I send an evaluation request, the test is done correctly, but when looking into the tokenUsage for prompt and completion it gives 0 but when I use Anthrobic models, these values has numbers Do anyone knows why this happens?! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1387068500501069965/1387068500610125944/image.png?ex=685bffb5&is=685aae35&hm=f748fdf7f49d957a04af47dc566ee25f884c591f3f681c984afcc724e4dcc426&

Hi all, I'm trying to leverage 2 parameters of the OpenAI Responses API: prompt and previous_response_id. I have the code below that works but unfortunately then the output of all my tests is just the response ID instead of being the OpenAI text response. Is there an option to save the response ID while still having the test return the text? Here's the relevant parts of our setup: ``` prompts: - "dummy" providers: - id: https config: url: https://api.openai.com/v1/responses method: POST headers: Authorization: "Bearer {{ env.OPENAI_API_KEY }}" body: | { "model": "gpt-4.1-nano-2025-04-14", "input": "{{ tenant_msg }}", "prompt": { "id": "{{ promptId }}" }, {% if previous_response_id %} "previous_response_id": "{{ previous_response_id }}", {% endif %} "store": true } transformResponse: | ({ output: { text: json.output[0].content[0].text, response_id: json.id } }) defaultTest: vars: previous_response_id: "" tests: - description: "1 • tenant contacts" vars: { tenant_msg: "Good morning.", promptId: "pmpt_685a89e16a208196bb088d0b09cbee3f09404e8cfa6d680c" } options: transform: output.response_id storeOutputAs: previous_response_id - description: "2 • tenant follow-up" vars: { tenant_msg: "Did you get my previous message?", promptId: "pmpt_685a89e16a208196bb088d0b09cbee3f09404e8cfa6d680c" } options: transform: output.response_id storeOutputAs: previous_response_id

Mac air, promptfoo (0.115.4), chrome,firefox all has issues. The error in developer tool is > Uncaught SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<' Did i mess up some configuration?

Is there a way to resume a red team eval from the progress made once it has begun? If it's interrupted or runs into errors on the way and the eval is canceled, is there a way to pick up where it left off so it doesn't repeat all the same calls? Running into this issue with large evals that take multiple hours, and it's a problem when you have to kill and restart the eval from scratch. I can't find anything in the docs about this.
