AIRS AI Red Teaming

AI Red Teaming is a SaaS adversarial testing platform that probes AI systems (models, applications, and agents) for vulnerabilities before deployment. It sends crafted attack prompts to the target system, analyzes responses for unsafe behavior, and produces a risk score with actionable remediation guidance.

The attack library is maintained by a team backed by 18,000+ threat researchers who continuously discover novel attack vectors. The library is updated every two weeks with new techniques drawn from frameworks including OWASP LLM Top 10, MITRE ATLAS, NIST AI RMF, and DASF V2.0.

Target audience: Security teams, ML engineers, and compliance officers who need to validate AI systems against known attack patterns, emerging threats, and regulatory frameworks.

AI Red Teaming operates through three API planes, each serving a distinct purpose. All planes share the same base domain and require the Prisma-Tenant header.

AI Red Teaming architecture (SCM console, API planes, and target system):

AI Red Teaming organizes attacks into four top-level categories, each with subcategories targeting specific vulnerability classes.

Security (9 subcategories)

Safety (9 subcategories)

Compliance (4 subcategories)

Brand (4 subcategories)

AI Red Teaming supports three scan types, each designed for a different testing strategy.

Targets

A target is the AI system under test. It can be an Application (chatbot, copilot), an Agent (autonomous tool user), or a Model (raw LLM endpoint). Each target has a connection type, authentication method, and optional metadata that provides context for more effective attacks.

Network Channels

For AI systems on private networks, a Network Channel provides secure connectivity using an outbound WebSocket tunnel. A lightweight client deployed in the customer's Kubernetes cluster initiates the connection, so no inbound firewall rules are needed.

Agentic Profiling

Automated profiling that interrogates the target to discover its capabilities, system prompt, and available tools. Runs asynchronously after target creation for Agent-type targets. Results populate the target background and additional context fields.

Risk Score

A composite score from 0 to 100 (higher = more vulnerable) based on the Attack Success Rate (ASR), the percentage of attacks that successfully elicited unsafe behavior from the target.

Reports & Remediation

Each completed scan produces a report with findings grouped by category, severity-level distribution, an AI-generated summary, and runtime security policy recommendations that can be applied directly in AIRS.

Quota & Credits

Scans consume quota tracked per scan type (static, dynamic, custom). Each quota has allocated, unlimited, and consumed fields. Monitor usage via the /v1/metering/quota endpoint.

AI Red Teaming is licensed through NGFW credits, not as a standalone SKU. Credits are allocated from the Customer Support Portal (CSP) before the deployment profile is created.

Create a Deployment Profile

The deployment profile allocates NGFW credits to AI Red Teaming and provisions the service on the selected tenant. Complete this before the deployment call; activation can take up to 2 hours.

1. Log in to the Customer Support Portal (CSP).
2. Navigate to Products → Software/Cloud NGFW Credits.
3. Locate the credit pool and click Create Deployment Profile.
4. Select Prisma AIRS → AI Red Teaming.
5. Enter a profile name (e.g., AI Red Teaming - Production) and click Create Deployment Profile.
6. Click Finish Setup to redirect to the Hub.
7. Select the CSP account and select or create a tenant.
8. If creating a new tenant, select the region: Americas, EU-Netherlands, or Singapore. The region cannot be changed after the tenant is created.
9. Associate the deployment profile with the target Tenant Service Group (TSG).
10. Select None in Additional Services.
11. Agree to the terms and click Activate.

SLS is a mandatory prerequisite for AIRS AI Red Teaming. It must be enabled on the tenant before AIRS activation begins.

AIRS is provisioned inside a Tenant Service Group (TSG) in the Palo Alto Networks hub. The TSG and region are selected when the deployment profile is created and cannot be changed after activation.

Okta OAuth Token Expiry: Confirming and Addressing the 1-Hour Window

If the target AI endpoint authenticates using Okta OAuth, the access token AIRS uses to send attack prompts will expire during a scan. Okta access tokens default to a 1-hour lifetime. Attack Library scans run approximately 5 hours. Without a strategy in place, scans fail mid-run when the token expires.

Step 1: Confirm the Okta token lifetime

Ask the customer's Okta administrator to check the token lifetime for the OAuth application used to access the AI target:

1. Log in to the Okta Admin Console.
2. Navigate to Security → API → Authorization Servers.
3. Select the authorization server used by the AI target application.
4. Click Access Policies and expand the relevant policy rule.
5. Check the Access Token Lifetime field. The default is 1 hour (3600 seconds).

If the lifetime is under 6 hours, one of the three strategies below must be applied before scanning begins.

Strategy A (Preferred): Provision a long-lived service account API key

Ask the customer's Okta admin to create a dedicated service account in Okta for red teaming with an extended access token lifetime (minimum 6 hours, ideally 24 hours or no expiry if supported by the authorization server policy). Use this service account's credentials in the AIRS target configuration instead of a user-scoped token. This eliminates the expiry problem entirely and is the lowest-effort fix.

Strategy B: Run scans in category-focused batches under 1 hour

Divide the Attack Library scan into shorter runs, each covering a subset of categories that completes within the token lifetime. Refresh the Okta token between batches and update the AIRS target configuration with the new token before starting the next batch. Example batching for a 1-hour token:

• Batch 1: SECURITY subcategories (Prompt Injection, System Prompt Leak, Evasion)
• Batch 2: SECURITY remaining (Jailbreak, Multi-Turn, Adversarial Suffix, RCE, Tool Leak)
• Batch 3: SAFETY and COMPLIANCE subcategories

This extends the engagement timeline but works within the token constraint. Coordinate batch timing with the customer's team.

Strategy C: Token-refresh proxy (advanced)

Deploy a lightweight proxy sidecar alongside the target that intercepts AIRS requests, refreshes the Okta token using a refresh token or client credentials flow before the access token expires, and forwards the request to the actual target with a fresh token. This requires engineering effort from the customer's platform team but is transparent to AIRS. Budget 2-4 hours for implementation. This strategy is best suited for engagements with many targets all using Okta OAuth.

What is a target? A target is the AI system being tested. Three types are supported:

• Model — a direct API connection to a foundation model with no application layer: GPT-4o at api.openai.com, Claude at api.anthropic.com, a Bedrock-hosted model, a self-hosted Llama or Mistral instance. Simplest to configure.
• Application — a model wrapped with a system prompt, business logic, and safety guardrails. Most enterprise targets are Applications: a customer service chatbot, an HR policy assistant, a legal document summarizer, a financial advisor application, a retail shopping assistant. Industry and use case are required fields.
• Agent — an autonomous system with tool access that can take multi-step actions: a code review agent with repository access, a data analysis agent that writes and executes SQL, a research assistant that browses the web, an IT support agent that manages tickets. Carries the highest risk due to tool misuse potential.

Understanding rate limits: RPM (Requests Per Minute) controls how many API calls AIRS can send to the target each minute. TPM (Tokens Per Minute) controls total token throughput (input plus output combined) per minute. AIRS sends attack prompts sequentially; rate limits determine how fast. An Attack Library scan runs hundreds of prompts over approximately 5 hours. At 20 RPM that is roughly 6,000 total requests, sufficient for a full scan. Below 10 RPM the scan cannot complete in a reasonable window. TPM is a separate constraint: attack payloads are verbose when a full system prompt is included in every request, and a TPM limit below 10,000 causes throttling even when RPM is adequate.

Verify each AI target meets these requirements before the deployment call. A target that fails validation during the call adds 30–60 minutes of unplanned troubleshooting.

Validating Target Endpoint Accessibility Before the Call

Run these checks before the deployment call to confirm each target is reachable. A target that cannot be reached from AIRS cannot be configured, and discovering this during the call adds significant unplanned troubleshooting time.

Public endpoints (internet-accessible)

Send a test request directly to the endpoint using curl. The goal is to confirm the URL resolves, TLS completes, and the API returns a valid response with your credentials. Use the same request format you will enter into the AIRS target configuration.

# Test a public endpoint — substitute your actual URL, token, and model
curl -v -X POST "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"gpt-4o","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}]}'

# Expected: HTTP 200 with a response in choices[0].message.content
# If you receive 401: credentials are wrong
# If you receive 000 (no response): URL is unreachable or TLS failed

If the endpoint uses IP allowlisting, confirm AIRS egress IPs are added before running this test from your machine; the test only confirms the endpoint itself is accessible; AIRS may still be blocked if source IP restrictions are in place.

Private endpoints (behind firewall, VPN, or private VPC)

Private endpoints are not reachable from the public internet. You must test reachability from inside the same network, specifically from inside the Kubernetes cluster that will host the Network Channel. Run a test pod inside the cluster and curl the private endpoint from there.

# Test a private endpoint from inside the K8s cluster
kubectl run curl-test --image=curlimages/curl --rm -it --restart=Never -- \
  curl -v -X POST "https://internal.company.com/api/ai/chat" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message":"Hello"}'

# If the request succeeds: the Network Channel will be able to reach this target
# If you get a connection refused or DNS failure: the cluster cannot see the endpoint
# check network policy, DNS resolution, and VPN/peering configuration

Also verify the three AIRS FQDNs are reachable outbound from the cluster before the deployment call; the Network Channel cannot establish its tunnel if these are blocked:

kubectl run curl-test --image=curlimages/curl --rm -it --restart=Never -- \
  sh -c "curl -sv https://api.sase.paloaltonetworks.com 2>&1 | grep -E 'Connected|SSL|TLS|failed'; \
         curl -sv https://auth.apps.paloaltonetworks.com 2>&1 | grep -E 'Connected|SSL|TLS|failed'; \
         curl -sv https://registry.ai-red-teaming.paloaltonetworks.com 2>&1 | grep -E 'Connected|SSL|TLS|failed'"

# Any "Connected" response (even if HTTP 403/404) confirms the FQDN is reachable
# A timeout or "Connection refused" means egress to that domain is blocked

Formal validation during the deployment call

After the target is created in AIRS during the deployment call, AIRS performs its own connectivity validation. See Configure Targets — Step 4.4: Validate Target Connection for the formal validation step, which sends an authenticated probe and confirms the response body path extracts model text correctly. For private endpoints, also see Network Channels — Step 5.4: Verify Channel Connectivity to confirm the Network Channel tunnel is online before attempting target validation.

Only needed if any target AI system is on a private network (behind a firewall, VPN, or private VPC). Skip this section if all targets are publicly accessible.

What the Network Channel is: A lightweight Helm-deployed client that runs inside the customer's Kubernetes cluster and creates an outbound tunnel to the AIRS cloud service. No inbound firewall rules are required; all connectivity is outbound from the cluster.

Outbound Connectivity Required (from K8s cluster)

All three FQDNs must be reachable before the call. They cannot be opened in real time during deployment.

Client Resource Requirements

How to Confirm Each Requirement Before the Call

Run these checks before the deployment call. Each one maps to a specific blocker if unresolved on the day.

1. Kubernetes cluster is available and can reach the private AI endpoint

Confirm a cluster exists and that kubectl is connected to it:

# Confirm kubectl is connected and the cluster is healthy
kubectl get nodes

# Expected: one or more nodes in Ready state
# If this fails: kubectl is not configured, or the cluster is not reachable from your machine

Then confirm the cluster can reach the private AI endpoint (run from inside the cluster, not from your local machine):

kubectl run curl-test --image=curlimages/curl --rm -it --restart=Never -- \
  curl -v "https://internal.ai-endpoint.company.com/health"

# Expected: any HTTP response (200, 401, 403) confirms DNS resolves and network path exists
# A timeout or "connection refused" means the cluster cannot reach the endpoint

If the cluster cannot reach the endpoint, the Network Channel will be OFFLINE after deployment. Resolve network policy, DNS, or VPN/peering configuration before the call. See Network Channels — Step 5.4: Verify Channel Connectivity for the post-deployment verification step.

2. kubectl is installed and configured for the correct cluster

# Confirm kubectl version and current cluster context
kubectl version --client
kubectl config current-context

# Expected: client version 1.20+ and the context name matching the target cluster
# If context is wrong: run  kubectl config use-context 

3. Helm 3.x is installed

helm version

# Expected: version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.x.x", ...}
# If Helm is not installed: https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/
# Helm 2.x is not supported — must be Helm 3

4. SCM service account with airt.network_channels_client permission

The Network Channel Helm deployment requires a service account token. Confirm one exists with the correct permission before the call:

1. Log in to Strata Cloud Manager.
2. Navigate to Common Services → Identity & Access → Access Management → Service Accounts.
3. Locate the service account intended for Network Channel use.
4. Confirm its assigned role includes the airt.network_channels_client permission. If not, edit the role or create a new custom role with this permission and assign it.
5. Generate a new token for this service account. The token is used as the --set config.clientSecret value in the Helm install command during Step 5.3: Deploy the Channel Client.

5. Three outbound FQDNs are reachable from the K8s cluster

Run this from inside the cluster to confirm all three AIRS FQDNs are accessible. If any fail, they must be allowlisted in the cluster's egress network policy before the deployment call:

for fqdn in \
  api.sase.paloaltonetworks.com \
  auth.apps.paloaltonetworks.com \
  registry.ai-red-teaming.paloaltonetworks.com; do
  echo -n "Testing $fqdn: "
  kubectl run curl-test-$RANDOM --image=curlimages/curl --rm -it --restart=Never \
    --quiet -- curl -sv --max-time 10 "https://$fqdn" 2>&1 | \
    grep -qE "Connected|SSL handshake" && echo "REACHABLE" || echo "BLOCKED"
done

# All three should show REACHABLE
# Any BLOCKED result must be resolved before the deployment call

6. K8s admin is confirmed available for the call

The person who runs the Helm install during the deployment call must have permission to create namespaces and deploy workloads. Confirm this before scheduling:

# Confirm the admin has permission to create namespaces and deploy
kubectl auth can-i create namespace
kubectl auth can-i create deployment --namespace airs-red-teaming

# Expected: "yes" for both
# If "no": the user does not have sufficient RBAC permissions to run the Helm install

The full Network Channel deployment steps are covered in Network Channels: Steps 5.2 through 5.4. These run during the deployment call itself; the pre-call checks above confirm the prerequisites so the deployment steps proceed without interruption.

The region is selected when creating the deployment profile in CSP and cannot be changed after activation. Confirm the correct region based on data residency requirements before the call.

The deployment profile allocates NGFW credits to AI Red Teaming and provisions the service on the selected tenant.

1. Log in to the Customer Support Portal (CSP).
2. Navigate to Products → Software/Cloud NGFW Credits.
3. Locate the credit pool and click Create Deployment Profile.
4. Select Prisma AIRS → AI Red Teaming.
5. Enter a profile name (e.g., AI Red Teaming - Production) and click Create Deployment Profile.
6. Click Finish Setup to redirect to the Hub.
7. Select the CSP account and select or create a tenant.
8. If creating a new tenant, select the region: Americas, EU-Netherlands, or Singapore. The region cannot be changed after the tenant is created.
9. Associate the deployment profile with the target Tenant Service Group (TSG).
10. Select None in Additional Services.
11. Agree to the terms and click Activate.

Confirm the signed-in user has the correct role to access AI Red Teaming in SCM.

Option A: Assign Superuser Role

1. Navigate to Strata Cloud Manager → Common Services → Identity & Access.
2. Verify the current user has the role Superuser for all apps and services.

Option B: Create a Custom Role

1. Navigate to Common Services → Identity & Access → Access Management → Roles → Custom Roles.
2. Click Add Role.
3. Enable the AI Red Teaming application.
4. Click Save.
5. Assign the custom role to the desired users or service accounts.

Target Statuses

For targets with type AGENT, Agentic Profiling automatically interrogates the target to discover its capabilities, system prompt, and available tools. The results populate the target profile with discovered information.

Profiling Process

1. Profiling is triggered after target validation for Agent-type targets.
2. The system sends a series of probing conversations to map the agent's behavior.
3. Discovered capabilities are written to the System Capabilities section of the target profile (read-only).

Profiling Statuses

Network Channels provide secure connectivity between the AI Red Teaming cloud service and AI systems on private networks. The architecture uses a client/server model where a lightweight daemon in the customer's Kubernetes cluster initiates an outbound WebSocket connection to the cloud service. No inbound firewall rules are needed.

Install via Helm

# Deploy the Network Channel client
helm install panw-network-client \
  oci://registry.ai-red-teaming.paloaltonetworks.com/pairs-redteam-prd-fckx/red-teaming-onprem/charts/panw-network-client:1.0.5 \
  --set config.clientId=<CLIENT_ID> \
  --set config.clientSecret=<CLIENT_SECRET> \
  --set config.channelId=<CHANNEL_UUID> \
  --namespace airs-red-teaming \
  --create-namespace

Advanced Configuration

Confirm the channel is online and traffic can flow to the private target.

curl -X GET "https://api.sase.paloaltonetworks.com/ai-red-teaming/data-plane/network-broker/v1/channels/${CHANNEL_UUID}" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Prisma-Tenant: ${TSG_ID}"

If your target endpoints use self-signed certificates, internal CA-issued certificates, or are deployed in on-premises / private cloud environments without public PKI, the Network Channel client must be configured to handle non-standard SSL. This step also covers proxy configuration for environments where outbound traffic routes through a corporate proxy.

Check Your Client Version

Verify the currently deployed chart version before proceeding:

# Check the installed Helm release
helm list -n airs-red-teaming

If the chart version is below 1.0.4, upgrade before enabling custom SSL:

# Upgrade to v1.0.4+ for custom SSL support
helm upgrade panw-network-client \
  oci://registry.ai-red-teaming.paloaltonetworks.com/pairs-redteam-prd-fckx/red-teaming-onprem/charts/panw-network-client:1.0.4 \
  --set config.clientId=<CLIENT_ID> \
  --set config.clientSecret=<CLIENT_SECRET> \
  --set config.channelId=<CHANNEL_ID> \
  -n airs-red-teaming

Enable Custom SSL (Self-Signed / Internal CA Certificates)

For endpoints secured with self-signed or internal CA-issued certificates, enable custom SSL by setting config.disableSSLVerification=true. This disables certificate chain validation on the Network Channel client so it can reach endpoints that do not present publicly trusted certificates.

# Deploy or upgrade with custom SSL enabled
helm upgrade panw-network-client \
  oci://registry.ai-red-teaming.paloaltonetworks.com/pairs-redteam-prd-fckx/red-teaming-onprem/charts/panw-network-client:1.0.4 \
  --set config.clientId=<CLIENT_ID> \
  --set config.clientSecret=<CLIENT_SECRET> \
  --set config.channelId=<CHANNEL_ID> \
  --set config.disableSSLVerification=true \
  -n airs-red-teaming

Proxy Configuration (v1.0.5+)

If the Network Channel client requires a proxy to reach the AI Red Teaming cloud service or target endpoints, configure proxy settings during install or upgrade. This is common in enterprise environments with egress filtering.

# Deploy with proxy configuration (client v1.0.5+)
helm upgrade panw-network-client \
  oci://registry.ai-red-teaming.paloaltonetworks.com/pairs-redteam-prd-fckx/red-teaming-onprem/charts/panw-network-client:1.0.5 \
  --set config.clientId=<CLIENT_ID> \
  --set config.clientSecret=<CLIENT_SECRET> \
  --set config.channelId=<CHANNEL_ID> \
  --set config.httpProxy=http://proxy.corp.example.com:8080 \
  --set config.httpsProxy=http://proxy.corp.example.com:8080 \
  --set config.noProxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,.internal.corp.com \
  -n airs-red-teaming

You can combine custom SSL and proxy settings in a single command:

# Combined: custom SSL + proxy
helm upgrade panw-network-client \
  oci://registry.ai-red-teaming.paloaltonetworks.com/pairs-redteam-prd-fckx/red-teaming-onprem/charts/panw-network-client:1.0.5 \
  --set config.clientId=<CLIENT_ID> \
  --set config.clientSecret=<CLIENT_SECRET> \
  --set config.channelId=<CHANNEL_ID> \
  --set config.disableSSLVerification=true \
  --set config.httpsProxy=http://proxy.corp.example.com:8080 \
  --set config.noProxy=localhost,127.0.0.1 \
  -n airs-red-teaming

Build an organization-specific attack library by maintaining custom prompt sets tailored to your AI systems and industry.

• Create per-domain prompt sets — separate sets for banking, healthcare, customer support, etc.
• Add prompts from real incidents — when users discover jailbreaks in production, add them to custom sets for regression testing.
• Use CSV upload for bulk management — download the template, populate it, and upload to add prompts in bulk.
• Version prompt sets — use descriptive names (e.g., banking-v2) to track prompt set evolution.

# List all custom prompt sets
curl -X GET "https://api.sase.paloaltonetworks.com/ai-red-teaming/mgmt-plane/v1/custom-attack/custom-prompt-set" \

Network Broker (/ai-red-teaming/data-plane/network-broker)

Authentication

AI Red Teaming is available in three regions: Americas, EU-Netherlands, and Singapore. The region is determined by the deployment profile created in CSP; it is encoded in your OAuth2 access token, so all API calls use the same base URL regardless of region.

Three analogies help frame the pattern for different audiences:

Wrappers are always built and maintained by the customer's development team. This is not a Palo Alto Networks or Professional Services deliverable. PS's role is to identify during pre-engagement discovery whether a wrapper is needed, explain the interface contract, and test the final result; building the wrapper is the customer team's responsibility.

Work through this table top to bottom. Stop at the first row that matches your situation.

These are not "nice to have" scenarios. In each case, the AIRS native connection methods have a documented, hard limitation that cannot be worked around without a wrapper or adapter.

Scenario 1 — SDK-Only Agent (No HTTP API)

AIRS can only communicate with agents via HTTP. If the agent is only callable through a Python or Java SDK, there is no HTTP endpoint for AIRS to reach. A REST shim exposes the SDK as an HTTPS POST endpoint. The shim runs in the same environment as the SDK (same container, same VPC, same host) so it has access to the agent's runtime.

Wrapper type: Type 1 — REST shim. Estimated build time: 2 to 4 hours for a simple single-method SDK.

Scenario 2 — WebSocket Agent with Multi-Turn or OAuth 2.0 Requirements

AIRS's native WebSocket connection method has two hard limitations: it closes the WebSocket connection after each individual prompt (so session state does not accumulate across turns in a conversation), and it does not support OAuth 2.0 authentication. If either of these is required, the native WebSocket method cannot be used.

A REST-to-WebSocket wrapper accepts a REST POST from AIRS, manages a persistent WebSocket connection internally (handling multi-turn session state), and performs OAuth 2.0 token exchange and refresh before sending each request to the agent. From AIRS's perspective, this is an ordinary REST endpoint.

Wrapper type: Type 2 — REST-to-WebSocket adapter. Estimated build time: 4 to 8 hours; longer if stateful session history must be maintained across prompts.

Scenario 3 — gRPC or SOAP Agent, No Kubernetes Available

Agents using gRPC, SOAP, or AMQP cannot be expressed as a standard HTTP cURL. The preferred solution is the Custom Target Adapter (Pattern B using call_target), which runs inside the Network Channel pod and has direct network access to the agent. However, Custom Adapter requires Kubernetes (for the Network Channel client) at version 1.4.0 or higher with the adapter sidecar explicitly enabled.

If Kubernetes is not available in the environment, a standalone REST shim is the alternative. The shim accepts AIRS REST requests and translates them to gRPC calls, SOAP envelopes, or AMQP messages before forwarding to the agent.

Wrapper type: Type 1 — REST shim (to gRPC/SOAP). Estimated build time: 4 to 8 hours; gRPC stub generation adds complexity.

Scenario 4 — Request Signing Required, No Kubernetes Available

Agents that require AWS SigV4, HMAC-SHA256, or mutual TLS (mTLS) for every request use authentication schemes that AIRS native connection methods cannot generate. The preferred solution is Custom Adapter's pre_process() function, which can compute per-request signatures using context.secrets credentials before AIRS sends the request. This requires Kubernetes.

Without Kubernetes, a signing proxy sits between AIRS and the agent. It accepts unsigned requests from AIRS, computes the required signature or presents the client certificate, and forwards the signed request to the agent. Note that per-request signing cannot use authenticate() in a Custom Adapter because the request body is not available at authentication time; signing must happen in pre_process().

Wrapper type: Type 3 — signing proxy. Estimated build time: 2 to 4 hours for SigV4; longer for mTLS certificate management.

A REST shim is a thin FastAPI or Flask application with a single POST route. It accepts AIRS's JSON request, calls the agent using the SDK or protocol the agent natively supports, and returns a JSON response in a shape AIRS can map with the {RESPONSE} template.

Interface Contract

AIRS sends a POST request with the body structure you defined in the Verify & Edit JSON wizard step. The shim must return HTTP 200 with a JSON body containing the response text at the path you mapped. Any non-200 response causes AIRS to log the attack as an error.

AIRS Wizard Values for a REST Shim

Two managed agent runtimes in wide use have no native connection method, for different reasons. An AWS Bedrock Agent is unreachable because the Bedrock connection method targets InvokeModel and carries no agent identifier. An Azure AI Foundry agent is unreachable because no Foundry connection method exists at all. Both are solved by the same shape of service: a small HTTPS function that accepts the REST contract AIRS speaks, calls the agent with its own SDK, and returns one JSON document.

The Shared Interface Contract

Both bridges expose the same two-field interface, so the console configuration is identical apart from the URL and the token. The request body places the prompt at {INPUT} and the response body places the agent's text at {RESPONSE}.

# Request body pasted into Verify & Edit JSON
{ "prompt": "{INPUT}", "session_id": "" }

# Response body pasted into Verify & Edit JSON
{ "output": "{RESPONSE}", "session_id": "" }

Both bridges also authenticate with a bearer token they check themselves, rather than with the cloud provider's own request signing. That is deliberate: AIRS can send an Authorization header but cannot compute a SigV4 signature or acquire a managed identity token, so the provider's native auth has to terminate inside the bridge.

Pick the runtime you are scanning. The selection persists across the page.

Console Configuration for Both Bridges

These steps are common to both paths, so they sit outside the tabs. The only values that differ are the wrapper URL, the token, and one Advanced Configuration setting called out in Step 4.

Nothing here is installed or deployed. You are filling in a form in Strata Cloud Manager that tells AI Red Teaming how to reach the bridge you just built, so have these two values in front of you before you start.

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "{INPUT}", "session_id": ""}' \
  https://YOUR_WRAPPER_URL

Operational Notes

• The Foundry thread map is process-local — a cold start mid-scan drops conversation history for in-flight sessions. That is tolerable for a short scan. For long agent-led scans, back _THREADS with Table Storage or Redis keyed on session_id.
• Both bridges are internet-reachable and gated only by a bearer token — rotate the token at the end of the engagement and delete the function URL or Function App once scanning is finished, the same as any other test target.
• Credential scope is a reason to prefer a bridge — a native Bedrock model target requires pasting long-lived IAM keys into a SaaS console. Both bridges avoid that entirely by using an execution role or a managed identity, which is worth weighing even where the native connector would work.

A REST-to-WebSocket adapter accepts a stateless REST POST from AIRS and manages a WebSocket connection (including session state and token refresh) entirely inside the adapter. This is the only way to achieve multi-turn stateful testing or OAuth 2.0 authentication for WebSocket-only agents, because AIRS's native WebSocket connection method supports neither.

Stateless Single-Turn Example

Each AIRS request opens a new WebSocket connection, sends the prompt, collects the response, and closes. No session state is maintained. Use this when the agent is WebSocket-only but multi-turn context is not required.

Stateful Multi-Turn Example

A persistent WebSocket connection is held open in a session store keyed by a conversation ID. AIRS passes the conversation ID (or a stable identifier derived from the session) so the adapter can route follow-up prompts to the correct open connection. This allows context to accumulate across turns so the agent retains earlier prompts in the conversation.

SigV4 Signing Proxy

AWS SigV4 requires a canonical request string that includes the exact request body, timestamp, and computed HMAC-SHA256 digest. AIRS cannot compute this because it does not have access to AWS credentials and does not sign requests. A signing proxy receives the unsigned request from AIRS, computes the SigV4 signature, adds the required headers (Authorization, x-amz-date, x-amz-content-sha256), and forwards the signed request to the agent.

Use this when the agent requires Okta access tokens and the token lifetime is shorter than the scan duration (Attack Library scans run approximately 5 hours).

The Custom Target Adapter is Palo Alto Networks' native mechanism for protocol bridging. It runs inside the Network Channel pod in the customer's Kubernetes cluster. In most cases where Kubernetes is available, the Custom Adapter is the right choice. A standalone wrapper is the alternative when it is not.

AIRS requires an HTTPS endpoint. Plain HTTP is rejected. Choose a deployment pattern based on where the target agent lives and whether the wrapper needs to reach a private network.

Option A — Docker on an EC2 Instance or VM (Recommended for Private Agents)

Deploy the wrapper on a host that has network access to the private agent. TLS is terminated with a self-signed or Let's Encrypt certificate. AIRS reaches the wrapper via the host's public or private IP; the wrapper reaches the agent via the internal network.

# Dockerfile
FROM python:3.12-slim
WORKDIR /app
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
COPY shim.py .
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["uvicorn", "shim:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "8080",
     "--ssl-keyfile", "/certs/key.pem", "--ssl-certfile", "/certs/cert.pem"]

# Build and run
docker build -t airs-wrapper .
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /path/to/certs:/certs:ro \
  -e API_TOKEN="your-secret-token" \
  -e AGENT_URL="https://internal-agent.company.com/api/chat" \
  airs-wrapper

Option B — AWS Lambda + API Gateway (Recommended for Public Agents)

Lambda gives you a fully managed HTTPS endpoint with no server to maintain. API Gateway terminates TLS automatically. The wrapper code runs as a Lambda function handler. Best for wrappers that reach public-internet agents or agents in the same AWS account. Not suitable for wrappers requiring persistent in-memory session state across invocations.

"""
Lambda handler wrapper (handler.py).
API Gateway translates the API GW event into the format below.
Use HTTP API (payload format version 2.0) for lowest latency.
"""
import json, os

API_TOKEN  = os.environ["API_TOKEN"]
AGENT_URL  = os.environ["AGENT_URL"]

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    auth = event.get("headers", {}).get("authorization", "")
    if auth != f"Bearer {API_TOKEN}":
        return {"statusCode": 401, "body": json.dumps({"error": "Unauthorized"})}

    body = json.loads(event.get("body") or "{}")
    messages = body.get("messages", [])
    user_msg = next((m["content"] for m in reversed(messages) if m["role"] == "user"), "")

    # Call the agent — replace with your actual invocation logic
    import urllib.request
    req_body = json.dumps({"prompt": user_msg}).encode()
    req = urllib.request.Request(AGENT_URL, data=req_body,
          headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}, method="POST")
    with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=90) as r:
        agent_resp = json.loads(r.read())

    return {
        "statusCode": 200,
        "headers": {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        "body": json.dumps({
            "choices": [{"message": {"role": "assistant",
                                     "content": agent_resp["reply"]}}]
        })
    }

Option C — Local (ngrok Tunnel) for Testing Only

Run the wrapper on localhost and expose it via ngrok for rapid testing during development. The ngrok URL is temporary and changes on each restart. Never use this for production AIRS scans; use it only to confirm the wrapper logic is correct before moving to a persistent deployment.

uvicorn shim:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080
# In a second terminal:
ngrok http 8080
# Copy the https://xxxx.ngrok.io URL — use this as the AIRS endpoint URL during testing

Validate the wrapper independently before entering its URL into the AIRS wizard. A wrapper that fails outside AIRS will fail inside AIRS with harder-to-read error messages.

Step 1 — Confirm the Wrapper Returns HTTP 200 with Valid JSON

curl -v -X POST "https://your-wrapper-host:8080/chat" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-secret-token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, who are you?"}
    ]
  }'

Expected result: HTTP 200 with a JSON body containing the reply text at the path you intend to map in the AIRS wizard (e.g., choices[0].message.content). Any non-200 status means the wrapper failed before reaching the agent.

Step 2 — Confirm the {INPUT} Placeholder Maps Correctly

Replace the user content with a recognizable test phrase and verify the agent's reply reflects it. This confirms the wrapper is correctly extracting the user message and forwarding it to the agent.

curl -s -X POST "https://your-wrapper-host:8080/chat" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-secret-token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"AIRS_CANARY_TEST_12345"}]}' | python3 -m json.tool

Step 3 — Test Authentication Rejection

Confirm the wrapper rejects requests with an invalid token. This prevents the wrapper from being an open relay.

curl -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -X POST "https://your-wrapper-host:8080/chat" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wrong-token" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"test"}]}'
# Expected: 401

Step 4 — Probe via AIRS After Target Creation

After creating the AIRS target that points to your wrapper, use the management plane probe API to send a single test request through AIRS's full request path. This confirms AIRS can reach the wrapper and the response JSON maps correctly.

curl -X POST "https://api.sase.paloaltonetworks.com/ai-red-teaming/mgmt-plane/v1/target/probe" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${ACCESS_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Prisma-Tenant: ${TSG_ID}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"target_uuid": "${TARGET_UUID}", "probe_message": "Hello from AIRS probe"}'

A successful probe returns the agent's reply text. A failure returns an error code and message that identifies whether the problem is connectivity, authentication, or response parsing.

Step 5 — Confirm Response Time Is Within AIRS Limits

AIRS has a per-request timeout. If the wrapper + agent combined take longer than the timeout, AIRS logs the attack as an error. Measure the round-trip time from AIRS's perspective by running several probe requests and checking the latency. If latency is consistently above 60 seconds, optimize the agent or wrapper before scanning.

Complete this checklist before attaching the wrapper to an AIRS target and starting a scan.

The TRD follows a three-tier architecture. Each tier has a different scope and repeat pattern:

The TRD ships as an interactive HTML form with a built-in view toggle, so one page serves both audiences.

• TRD — consultant view — Purple guidance notes with field-level tips, common patterns, gotchas, and default recommendations
• TRD — customer view — Clean intake form with no internal commentary: questions, answer formats, and selectable options only

Both pages carry collapsible notes and conditional sections. To produce Word or Excel copies for a customer, run build_trds.py against the TRD source and work on the output outside this repository.

These TRD fields directly populate configuration steps. Missing any one blocks progress at the referenced guide step.
