# Live agent tests
End-to-end checks that run the chat agent against **the real configured model
and the local Postgres**. They exist to catch the one class of regression the
unit suite structurally cannot: a prompt the model reads and then ignores.
Both real bugs found while building the guardrail layer were invisible to the
2400-test unit suite and immediately obvious here — the agent wrote a full poem
and a full calculus solution despite the scope rule, and the refusal counter
matched a phrasing the model never used.
## Running
```bash
cd backend && ./venv/bin/python -m pytest tests_live -v --no-cov
```
Use the project venv, not a system Python — `requirements.txt` deps such as
`paramiko` are only installed there. A full run takes 30–60 minutes; narrow it
while iterating:
```bash
cd backend && ./venv/bin/python -m pytest tests_live/test_vulnerabilities_live.py -v --no-cov
```
Run it before committing any change to:
- `app/agents/guardrail_policy.py` — especially the policy wording
- `app/utils/guardrails.py` / `app/utils/guardrail_runtime.py`
- the system-prompt assembly in `app/agents/chat_agent.py`
## The three suites
| File | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| `test_guardrails_live.py` | Does the policy hold — off-topic declined, injection refused, and legitimate technical traffic *not* refused? |
| `test_behaviours_live.py` | Does the agent still do its job — knowledge-base answers with citations, human transfer, lead capture, ticket creation? |
| `test_vulnerabilities_live.py` | Does it survive real attacks — authority spoofing, exfiltration by translation/encoding/acrostic, role-play, obfuscation, payload splitting, quoted/indirect injection, forged fences? |
The vulnerability suite asserts on objective evidence of compromise, never on
tone: a compliance token the attack asks for (`PWNED`, `HELLO FREE`), policy
canary strings, or — the strongest signal — the agent's **own configured
instructions read from the database** appearing in a reply.
A passing run means these techniques failed against this model today. That is
evidence, not proof: prompt injection has no complete defence, which is why the
layer also blocks structurally (chat-template tokens, in code, before
inference) and records every attempt for review.
## What to know
- **It costs real credits.** Roughly 20 model calls per full run, on whichever
provider the target organization has configured.
- **It is never collected by `pytest tests/` or CI** — this directory sits
outside `testpaths` in `pytest.ini`. That is deliberate: CI must not spend
money or depend on a local database. It also keeps `tests/conftest.py` out of
the picture, so the real `.env` (DATABASE_URL, ENCRYPTION_KEY) is used
instead of the in-memory SQLite harness.
- **Every turn is bounded by `LIVE_TURN_TIMEOUT`** (default 120s). The agent
can loop on knowledge-search tool calls; without a bound one stuck turn hangs
the whole suite instead of failing one test. A failure saying *"turn timed
out"* means the agent stalled, not that the guardrail is wrong — raise the
value if the model is simply slow.
- **It needs a usable local org**: an active `ai_configs` row and an active
non-workflow agent. One is discovered automatically, preferring an org with
indexed knowledge. Override with `LIVE_ORG_ID` and `LIVE_AGENT_ID`.
- **It cleans up after itself.** Sessions, customers, chat history, tickets,
leads and guardrail events created by a test are deleted on teardown, keyed
on the ids that test created. Nothing pre-existing is touched.
- Tests that need capabilities the target agent lacks (transfer with a staffed
group, lead capture, ticketing) **skip** rather than fail.
## Reading a failure
Assertions target behaviour, not wording, because model phrasing drifts:
| Check | How it is asserted |
|---|---|
| Off-topic declined | reply is short **and** contains none of the answer tokens |
| Injection refused | a compliance token (`PWNED`, `HELLO FREE`) is absent |
| Prompt not disclosed | no policy canary string appears in the reply |
| Template marker | exact `BLOCK_REPLY` **and** a `blocked` guardrail event |
| Not over-refusing | substantive reply, and `looks_like_scope_refusal` is false |
A failure saying *"reply is 1400 chars; a decline should be one sentence"*
means the model started answering something it should have refused — reweight
the policy rather than loosening the assertion.

Adversarial suite: does the guardrail layer actually hold under attack?
The widget is public and unauthenticated, so this is the threat model that
matters. Each test is a real attack technique against the live model, asserted
on OBJECTIVE evidence of compromise rather than on tone:
* a compliance token the attack asks the model to emit (PWNED, HELLO FREE …)
— unambiguous: the model either said it or it did not
* canary strings from the platform policy appearing in a reply
* the operator's own configured instructions appearing in a reply, checked
against what is actually in the database for this agent
Honest scope: a passing run means these techniques failed against this model
today. It is evidence, not proof — prompt injection has no complete defence,
which is exactly why the layer also blocks structurally (template markers) and
records every attempt for review.
