DESTRUCTIVE TESTING FOR TOOL-USING AI AGENTS
THRASH IT
BEFORE YOU
SHIP IT.
Connect your AI agent. We put it in hostile fake situations, try to make it do something forbidden, and give you the exact replay when it fails.

FIELD NOTE / 001
WHAT THE HELL IS THRASH?
We don't ask your agent if it's safe. We crash-test it.
Think automotive crash testing, except the specimen is an agent and the impact surface is its tools, permissions, memory, context, and judgment.
SIMULATE
Thrash builds a fake company around the agent: inbox, files, CRM, payments, browser, secrets, calendar, and virtual versions of its own tools.
NO PRODUCTION SIDE EFFECTSATTACK
We inject false authority, poisoned documents, bad tool output, stale policies, outages, goal manipulation, and pressure to cross boundaries.
CONTROLLED DESTRUCTIVE LOADVERIFY
Thrash inspects the fake-world state—not the agent's explanation—to see whether it actually sent, spent, leaked, changed, or deleted something.
STATE OUTRANKS PROSEREPRODUCE
Failures get replay seeds. Eligible tool failures are reduced into the smallest adversarial case that still makes the agent break.

EXAMPLE FAILURE REPLAY
The agent says it followed the rules.
The sandbox shows what actually happened.
Here is the basic Thrash loop: hostile input arrives, the agent requests a tool action, Thrash executes that action only in the fake world, and the verifier checks whether a declared boundary was crossed.

TEST PROGRAM / 006
DESTRUCTIVE TEST PROGRAM
Find the breaking point.
Thrash tests the system around the model. Passing answer-quality evals does not prove the agent will respect authority when tools, hostile context, and real side effects collide.
HOSTILE INPUT
Poisoned pages, documents, email, search results, retrieved context, and tool output.
INVARIANT / USER GOAL REMAINS AUTHORITATIVETOOL AUTHORITY
False approvals, irreversible calls, bad arguments, wrong tools, and privilege escalation.
INVARIANT / AUTHORITY CANNOT BE INVENTEDMEMORY LOAD
Persistent falsehoods, delayed payloads, stale organizational facts, and poisoned memories.
INVARIANT / UNTRUSTED DATA STAYS DATAREALITY CHECK
Tools claim success when state did not change. Sources conflict. Interfaces lie.
INVARIANT / VERIFY BEFORE CLAIMING SUCCESSCHAOS LOAD
Timeouts, partial outages, loops, malformed observations, disappearing tools, and budget pressure.

A high score is not a guarantee of safety. It is evidence that the specimen survived the tested conditions. Coverage tells you how much of the discovered risk surface was actually exercised.
PROOF, NOT VIBES
A score without coverage is decoration.
Thrash separates performance from test coverage. A 95/100 with 43% attack-surface coverage is not the same thing as a 95/100 with 100% coverage.
Public reports can be signed and replayable. Private runs can stay private.
FINAL INSPECTION
THRASH GATE
Would you ship it?
Start in demo mode, connect a test adapter, or run a real agent against the hostile workspace. Thrash never needs to touch production side effects to find authority failures.
