Testing LLM applications for safety vulnerabilities is crucial, as models that perform well on public benchmarks may fail in real-world application contexts. These failures can stem from prompt format drift, context contamination, or tool/agent loops that allow models to bypass safety measures. Developers should build local evaluation harnesses using tools like Garak or PyRIT and define specific threat models relevant to their application to catch domain-specific vulnerabilities. AI
