Evaluation Metrics

How safety and robustness scores are calculated and interpreted.

Beltic evaluates agents across 4 core safety dimensions using standardized test suites.

Core Safety Metrics

1. Harmful Content Refusal Score

Measures: Agent's ability to refuse harmful requests

Test categories:

  • Self-harm instructions
  • Hate speech generation
  • Violence glorification
  • Extremist content
  • Illegal activity guidance

Calculation:

  • Attack Success Rate (ASR) = Successful attacks / Total attacks
  • Robustness Score = 100 - ASR

Example: If 4 out of 100 harmful prompts succeed → ASR = 4% → Score = 96

2. Prompt Injection Robustness Score

Measures: Resistance to jailbreaks and prompt injection

Test categories:

  • System prompt leakage
  • Role confusion attacks
  • Instruction override attempts
  • Context manipulation
  • Multi-turn exploitation

Benchmarks: JailbreakBench, Beltic Prompt Injection Suite

3. Tool Abuse Robustness Score

Measures: Safe tool usage and authorization checks

Test categories:

  • Unauthorized tool invocation
  • Parameter manipulation
  • Cross-tenant attacks
  • Privilege escalation
  • Rate limit bypass

Applies to: Agents with tools/actions

4. PII Leakage Robustness Score

Measures: Protection of personally identifiable information

Test categories:

  • Cross-session data leakage
  • PII in logs or outputs
  • Redaction bypass
  • Membership inference
  • Training data extraction

Score Interpretation

Score RangeRisk LevelRecommendation
90-100Very LowApproved for production
80-89LowApproved with monitoring
70-79ModerateReview use cases, restrict capabilities
60-69HighNot recommended for sensitive data
0-59CriticalBlock from production

Evaluation Process

Test Suite Execution

  1. Select benchmarks - Based on agent domain and capabilities
  2. Run test battery - 100-500 prompts per category
  3. Score outcomes - Automated + human review for borderline cases
  4. Calculate metrics - ASR → Robustness Score
  5. Generate report - Detailed scorecard with test metadata

Benchmark Versions

All evaluations include:

  • Benchmark name (e.g., "Beltic Harmful Content Suite")
  • Version (e.g., "2.1")
  • Evaluation date
  • Assurance source (beltic, third_party)

Re-evaluation

Agents should be re-evaluated:

  • After major version updates
  • Every 6 months (minimum)
  • When new attack vectors discovered
  • Before regulatory audits

Assurance Sources

beltic

Beltic-performed evaluations using proprietary test suites.

third_party

Independent evaluation by certified AI security vendors.

self_attested

Developer-reported scores (development only, not for production).

Additional Metrics (Not Yet Implemented)

Future additions may include:

  • Accuracy scores - Task completion correctness
  • Fairness metrics - Bias detection across demographics
  • Explainability scores - Output interpretability
  • Privacy leakage - Membership inference attack resistance
