Autonomous Workflows
Long-running agent workflows combine model decisions, external content, tools, and state across multiple steps. A small trust-boundary failure can compound into a high-impact action.
What can go wrong
Goal hijacking across steps
An adversarial instruction introduced early redirects later planning and tool selection away from the workflow's intended objective.
Unsafe action escalation
A workflow progresses from a low-risk request to a privileged action without the confirmation or authorization the design assumes.
Untrusted state propagation
Content from one step is treated as trusted instructions by later steps, tools, or connected agents.
Permission-boundary confusion
The workflow combines individually available tools into an action outside the user's intended or authorized scope.
Illustrative attack path
This is a representative validation target, not a claim that every customer system exposes the same chain.
What Oxyne tests
How it works
Scope a supported workflow interface and the actions that would constitute a meaningful boundary failure. Oxyne runs bounded adversarial sessions, captures the resulting tool and conversation evidence, and separates confirmed behavior from inferred downstream impact.
Scoped interface
Define supported connection paths, authorized actions, credentials, and prohibited behavior before testing.
Evidence produced
Receive the supporting transcript, explicit success criteria, judge reasoning, validation level, and remediation context.
Applicable workflows
Use recurring AI Security Testing for baseline coverage and a separately scoped AI Red Teaming campaign for deeper analysis.
