garak is NVIDIA's open-source LLM vulnerability scanner for red-teaming AI models and applications. Probes for prompt injection, data leakage, hallucination, toxicity, encoding-based attacks, and dozens of other vulnerability categories. Runs automated attack sequences against any LLM endpoint and generates detailed vulnerability reports. Features a modular probe/detector architecture that is extensible with custom attack patterns. Named after the Star Trek character known for deception.

A directional evidence panel appears only when the substitute rationale, trade-offs, sources, and verification date have been recorded. Older selections without that panel remain visible but are unclassified under the new evidence contract.
Guardrails AI is an open-source Python and JavaScript framework for validating and structuring LLM outputs using composable Guards built from a Hub of pre-built validators. It handles structured data extraction with Pydantic models, content safety checks including toxicity, PII detection, competitor mentions, and bias filtering, plus automatic re-prompting when validation fails. The Guardrails Hub offers dozens of validators from regex matching to hallucination detection via LLM judges.
NeMo Guardrails is NVIDIA's open-source toolkit for adding programmable safety rails to LLM applications. It supports five guardrail types — input, dialog, retrieval, execution, and output rails — covering content safety, jailbreak detection, topic control, PII masking, hallucination detection, and fact-checking. The toolkit uses Colang, a domain-specific language for defining conversational constraints, and integrates with OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic, HuggingFace, and LangChain/LangGraph.
DeepEval is an Apache-2.0 Python framework for evaluating LLM apps, RAG systems, agents, MCP workflows, and safety behavior with repeatable test cases. It works locally and in CI/CD, then connects to Confident AI for hosted reports, observability, red teaming, and governance when teams need shared evidence instead of ad-hoc prompt reviews and manual QA.
MCP-Scan is a security tool that scans MCP servers for vulnerabilities including tool poisoning, prompt injection, cross-origin escalation, and rug pull attacks. Acquired by Snyk in 2026, it is the first dedicated security scanner for the MCP ecosystem. It analyzes tool descriptions, permissions, and behavior patterns to detect malicious or compromised MCP servers before they can exploit AI agents.
