Agentic AI Open-Source Unit Testing for orchestrators on CLI

Prism-Eval, an open-source unit testing tool for AI orchestrators, catches non-deterministic LLM tool call failures, prompt injections, and digit drops in local builds and CI/CD pipelines. The tool, which works with LangGraph, CrewAI, and custom callables, provides a pre-deploy fail gate with typed reports, CI exporters, and an optional FinancePackBench-G4 adapter, and it coexists with the Prism-Shield runtime enforcement companion.

Catch non-deterministic LLM tool call failures, prompt injections, and digit drops in local builds and CI/CD before your users do.

Keywords: AI agent testing, LLM red teaming, prompt injection tests, digit drop detection, OCR extraction eval, LangGraph pytest, CI/CD for AI agents, adversarial corpus, zero-trust AI gateway

Demo How
Browser (GitHub Pages)

Streamlit (real engine)pip install "prism-eval[demo]" && streamlit run demo/app.py

Capability Status
Coexists with gate prismmanifest / Prism-Shield
Yes (no namespace collision)
G4 false-accept invariant + CI exit ≡ suite_passed
Yes
Immutable audit receipts (--audit-receipt )
Yes
SECURITY / threat model / SemVer policy Yes
Expanded builtin + digit-fuzz corpus Yes
JUnit / SARIF / SBOM release artifacts Yes
Optional FinancePackBench-G4 adapter Yes (when full suite installed)
Runtime enforcement Use Prism-Shield (companion)

See SECURITY.md, docs/THREAT_MODEL.md, docs/API_STABILITY.md.

Standard unit tests assume deterministic functions. AI agents do not.

An extraction agent can pass every golden fixture on Monday and silently ship a poisoned tool call on Tuesday—because probabilistic models, OCR drift, and document layout shifts do not care about your assert equal

suite.

Common silent production failures Prism-Eval is built to catch:

Failure mode What happens in prod Why normal tests miss it
Digit drop attacks
$150,000 extracted as $150.00 or $15,000
Fixtures use clean numbers; distractors never appear
Indirect prompt injections
Hidden PDF footer / HTML comment: ignore previous instructions hijacks the tool call
Happy-path docs have no adversarial payload
Layout & OCR drift
Column shift / fax wrap → wrong line item bound to AGI Snapshots freeze one layout; real scans do not

If your gate to Group-3 / tool execution is “the LLM looked confident,” you do not have a test suite—you have a demo.

Prism-Eval turns G4 adversarial corpora (digit drops, line-item shifts, prompt injections, OCR noise) into a pre-deploy fail gate with a typed report, CI exporters, and a clear path to runtime enforcement via Prism-Shield.

pip install prism-eval

Works alongside the gate package:

pip install prism-eval prismmanifest
python -c "from prism_eval import PrismEvalEngine; import prismmanifest"

Dev extras (pytest + asyncio):

pip install "prism-eval[dev]"

Works with LangGraph, CrewAI, custom async/sync callables, or an HTTP extraction endpoint.

import pytest
from prism_eval import PrismEvalEngine

async def my_langgraph_agent(input_data: dict) -> dict:
    """Your agent: document + user_request → extracted fields."""
    return {"agi_usd": "450000"}

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_agent_determinism():
    engine = PrismEvalEngine(
        agent_fn=my_langgraph_agent,
        policy_id="underwriting_v1",
        min_determinism=0.95,
        min_pass_rate=0.95,
    )
    report = await engine.run_suite(corpus_path="builtin")  # or "./tests/pdf_corpus/"
    assert report.overall_score >= 0.95
    assert report.g4_invariant_held  # no critical false accepts

Run it:

pytest test_agent.py -v
prism-eval \
  --policy-id underwriting_v1 \
  --corpus builtin \
  --min-determinism 0.95 \
  --min-pass-rate 0.95 \
  --agent mypkg.agents:extract_async

Point --agent

at module:function

(sync or async) or an https://

JSON endpoint.

Built-in and file-based corpora exercise the failure modes that break AI extraction agents:

Each case carries G4 metadata: severity

| never_false_accept

| expect_refuse

), critical_fields

, and optional injected_wrong

poison targets.

Exit non-zero when pass-rate or the G4 false-accept invariant fails—ready for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Buildkite.

When the identity / empty agent runs the builtin suite, Prism-Eval prints a high-signal report and (unless --no-upsell

) cross-sells runtime protection:

TIP: To automatically intercept and block these failures in production
   without modifying your agent code, install Prism-Shield middleware:

Prism-Eval is the pre-deploy red team.

Prism-Shield is the runtime zero-trust gateway.

If Prism-Eval fails in CI, do not only patch prompts. Put a signed, evidence-bound gate in front of tool execution so poisoned parameters never reach production DAGs—without rewriting your agent.
