Giskard implements a modular detector architecture that automatically scans LLM outputs for 10+ vulnerability classes including hallucinations, prompt injection, harmful content, sycophancy, and information disclosure. Each detector (e.g., llm_hallucination_detector, llm_prompt_injection_detector, llm_harmful_content_detector) inherits from a base scanner class and uses LLM-as-judge evaluation to assess whether model outputs violate safety constraints. The framework orchestrates these detectors across test datasets and aggregates findings into a ScanReport that can auto-generate test suites.
Unique: Implements a pluggable detector pattern where each vulnerability class (hallucination, injection, toxicity, etc.) is a separate detector inheriting from a base scanner, allowing independent scaling and customization of detection logic. Uses LLM-as-judge for semantic evaluation rather than regex/keyword matching, enabling detection of subtle vulnerabilities. Auto-generates test suites from scan results, closing the gap between vulnerability discovery and test coverage.
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than point-solution tools like prompt injection scanners because it detects 10+ vulnerability classes with a unified framework; more automated than manual security review because detectors run at scale without human intervention.
Giskard's RAG Evaluation Toolkit (RAGET) provides end-to-end evaluation of retrieval-augmented generation systems by decomposing RAG pipelines into evaluable components (Retriever, Rewriter, Generator, Router) and measuring performance with domain-specific metrics (correctness, faithfulness, relevancy, context precision). The framework automatically generates diverse test questions from a knowledge base using LLM-based generators, then evaluates both component outputs and end-to-end system behavior. Results are aggregated into comprehensive reports with pass/fail metrics and performance breakdowns.
Unique: Decomposes RAG systems into evaluable components and provides component-specific metrics (retriever recall, generator faithfulness) rather than treating RAG as a black box. Automatically generates diverse test questions from knowledge base using LLM generators with configurable question types, eliminating manual test dataset creation. Integrates component-level evaluation with end-to-end metrics to pinpoint performance bottlenecks.
vs alternatives: More granular than generic LLM evaluation frameworks because it measures individual RAG components; more automated than manual RAG testing because test generation and evaluation run without human intervention; more comprehensive than retriever-only evaluation tools because it covers the full RAG pipeline.
Giskard's prompt injection detector identifies inputs that attempt to manipulate LLM behavior through prompt injection attacks (e.g., 'Ignore previous instructions and...'). The detector uses a combination of pattern matching against known injection techniques (loaded from a curated database) and LLM-as-judge evaluation to assess whether inputs contain injection attempts. This enables proactive detection of adversarial inputs before they reach production systems.
Unique: Combines pattern-based detection against a curated injection database with LLM-as-judge semantic evaluation, providing both fast pattern matching and semantic understanding of injection attempts. Integrates with the test framework to generate test cases for injection robustness.
vs alternatives: More comprehensive than regex-based injection detection because it includes LLM-as-judge evaluation; more practical than manual security review because detection runs automatically; more integrated than standalone injection scanners because detection is part of the unified testing framework.
Giskard's harmful content detector identifies LLM outputs that contain toxic, hateful, violent, or otherwise harmful content. The detector uses LLM-as-judge evaluation with configurable harm criteria to assess outputs, enabling detection of context-dependent harms that are difficult to capture with keyword matching. The detector can be customized with domain-specific harm definitions (e.g., financial advice, medical misinformation).
Unique: Implements harmful content detection using LLM-as-judge with customizable harm criteria, enabling context-dependent harm detection beyond keyword matching. Supports domain-specific harm definitions (financial, medical, etc.) through prompt customization.
vs alternatives: More nuanced than keyword-based content filters because it understands context and intent; more flexible than fixed harm taxonomies because harm criteria can be customized; more integrated than standalone content moderation APIs because detection is part of the unified testing framework.
Giskard's hallucination detector identifies when LLM outputs contain information not supported by the provided context or knowledge base. The detector uses LLM-as-judge evaluation to assess whether generated text is faithful to the source documents, enabling detection of both factual hallucinations (false facts) and semantic hallucinations (unsupported inferences). This is critical for RAG systems where hallucinations undermine trust.
Unique: Implements hallucination detection as an LLM-as-judge evaluation comparing generated text against source documents, enabling semantic understanding of faithfulness beyond keyword matching. Distinguishes between factual hallucinations and semantic hallucinations through configurable judge prompts.
vs alternatives: More semantic than keyword/overlap-based faithfulness metrics because judge understands context and meaning; more practical than manual hallucination review because detection runs automatically; more integrated than standalone hallucination detection tools because detection is part of the unified testing framework.
Giskard's stereotype detector identifies when LLM outputs contain stereotypical or biased representations of groups (demographic, occupational, etc.). The detector uses LLM-as-judge evaluation with bias-specific prompts to assess whether outputs reinforce stereotypes or exhibit discriminatory language. This enables detection of subtle biases that are difficult to capture with keyword matching.
Unique: Implements stereotype detection using LLM-as-judge with bias-specific evaluation prompts, enabling semantic understanding of stereotyping beyond keyword matching. Supports evaluation across multiple demographic dimensions through configurable judge prompts.
vs alternatives: More nuanced than keyword-based bias detection because it understands context and intent; more comprehensive than single-dimension bias detection because it evaluates multiple demographic groups; more integrated than standalone bias detection tools because detection is part of the unified testing framework.
Giskard's information disclosure detector identifies when LLM outputs inadvertently reveal sensitive information (personal data, credentials, proprietary information). The detector uses LLM-as-judge evaluation to assess whether outputs contain information that should not be disclosed, enabling detection of privacy leaks that are difficult to capture with pattern matching. This is critical for applications handling sensitive data.
Unique: Implements information disclosure detection using LLM-as-judge with privacy-specific evaluation prompts, enabling semantic understanding of sensitive information beyond pattern matching. Supports domain-specific sensitive information definitions through configurable judge prompts.
vs alternatives: More semantic than regex-based PII detection because judge understands context and intent; more flexible than fixed PII patterns because sensitive information definitions can be customized; more integrated than standalone privacy tools because detection is part of the unified testing framework.
Giskard's output formatting detector validates that LLM outputs conform to expected formats (JSON, XML, structured text, etc.). The detector uses LLM-as-judge or parsing-based validation to assess whether outputs are parseable and match specified schemas. This is critical for applications that depend on structured outputs for downstream processing.
Unique: Implements output format validation through both parsing-based checks (for performance) and LLM-as-judge evaluation (for flexibility). Supports multiple format types (JSON, XML, CSV, etc.) through pluggable validators.
vs alternatives: More flexible than hardcoded format checks because validators are pluggable; more practical than manual format validation because validation runs automatically; more integrated than standalone format validation libraries because validation is part of the unified testing framework.
