Evaluation Toolchain
A system of tools and processes for automated testing and evaluation of AI models or agent capabilities, typically comprising task sets, the model under test, tool calls, and scorers, and often lacking production-grade security controls.

System prompts alone cannot solve the problem of an evaluation Agent going out of control, because the system prompt itself is one of the objects being evaluated; controls must be placed in the toolchain, where the model cannot modify or argue with them.
Controls for the evaluation toolchain should include three main control points: scanning the environment for sensitive credentials before the run, adjudicating every outbound request at the toolchain boundary, and setting a request budget for the entire run that can trip automatically.
