Red-team strategy

Topic Boundary (WordNet tree search)

topic-boundary

Maps a model's topic-block boundary by traversing a WordNet-lite concept graph around a presumed-blocked term — probing sibling/hyponym/hypernym concepts to find the nearest adjacent topic the model still engages on. The static transform emits the two built-in templates over adjacent concepts; runAdaptive drives the tree search against a live target.

YAML config

evalguard.config.yaml

redteam:
  strategies:
    - topic-boundary

CLI

bash

# "topic-boundary" is layered onto attacks during red-team scans.
# List every available encoding/obfuscation strategy:
evalguard list strategies

Combine with attack plugins to generate adversarial payloads. The strategy wraps each base payload before it's sent to your target, testing whether the model decodes / unwraps the transform and follows the embedded instruction.
