AgentTrust IQ — LLM Evaluation · RAG Reliability · Agent Guardrails · JSONL Audit Logs

Why this project maps to AI reliability roles

I built an inspectable evaluation platform that tests whether RAG and agent outputs are grounded, cited, safe, privacy-aware, and regression-gated before release.

The proof is intentionally concrete: controlled demo/test/fixture results, JSONL audit evidence, GitHub tests, prompt-injection defense, PII redaction, citation checks, and release/block/escalate logic.

Complementary Eval Layer

Why a separate trust layer instead of Ragas, TruLens, Arize Phoenix, Promptfoo, or Azure AI Foundry evals?

Those tools are useful for scoring chatbot and RAG answers. AgentTrust IQ is complementary: this demo also gates agent actions before a tool runs. The proof point is the tool-tier boundary: read-only / recon actions continue to the next reliability check, while destructive / irreversible actions route to human approval.

AGENTTRUST IQ EXTENSION

AI Cyber Agent Reliability Layer

A controlled demo layer for simulated cyber-agent workflows: deterministic fixtures, guardrail checks, cited responses, and replayable evidence that help recruiters see how I turn AI security risk into inspectable release criteria.

Threat Model

Simulated agent risk boundary

This layer simulates three risks: prompt injection hijacking the agent, sensitive data leaking through the agent's own output, and unauthorized agent actions. It is not a SIEM, EDR, or SOAR replacement.

Controlled Benchmark Notice

Metrics are fixture results, not production benchmark claims.

The headline metrics come from a six-case deterministic hiring run. A separate checksum-backed 131-record evidence summary reports a 97.0% pass rate, 0.8% hallucination rate, 83.3% citation precision, and 83.3% refusal accuracy. Neither set represents production traffic, vendor model comparisons, or live customer results.

Compact Product Extension

Product Extension: AI Agent Black Box Recorder

AgentTrust IQ can extend from evaluation-time reliability into runtime governance for AI agents. The extension monitors tool/API use, detects prompt injection, redacts PII, blocks unsafe actions, escalates risky workflows to human review, and exports JSONL audit evidence.

Employer Review

Case Study: Evaluating RAG and AI Agent Outputs Before Production

Built to show how AI outputs are tested before customer-facing deployment.

01

Problem

RAG and AI agent systems can produce unsupported answers, missing citations, unsafe refusals, and behavior drift after prompt or model changes.

02

Solution

Built a deterministic evaluation harness that scores groundedness, citation precision, refusal accuracy, latency, cost/request, and regression behavior across repeatable test cases.

03

System Design

Prompt/response fixtures feed an evaluation runner that applies citation checks, hallucination checks, refusal checks, JSONL logging, summary metrics, and pytest regression validation.

04

Production Tradeoffs

Current metrics are based on controlled deterministic fixtures, not broad vendor benchmarks. In production, I would expand the dataset, add real provider outputs, agent traces, human review, and CI regression gates.
