In their own words

Crucible

Crucible is a self-hosted security scanner for testing AI agents before production. It checks attack behavior such as prompt injection, goal hijacking, jailbreaks, unsafe output, and tool misuse. Instead of reviewing generated text alone, it evaluates tool calls, side effects, and outcomes. The site lists 11 modules and 153 attack vectors, covering eight of ten OWASP Agentic risks, with two in development. Crucible runs 90 attack payloads in under 60 seconds and produces an A–F report with severity, OWASP mapping, and reproduction steps. It supports LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, raw MCP endpoints, and agents with HTTP or MCP interfaces. The pip-installed CLI supports Python 3.10+. Local scanning needs no signup and has no telemetry by default. Community is free; Team and Enterprise add monitoring, dashboards, support, SSO, audit logs, deployment options, and custom modules.

Promptfoo

Promptfoo helps developers and enterprises evaluate prompts and test AI applications for security risks. It compares prompt outputs across multiple models in a web view. Red-team testing simulates users to look for prompt injections, jailbreaks, data leaks, business rule violations and insecure agent tool use. Its getting-started guide lists more than 60 providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and local models such as Ollama. Integrations include CI systems such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure Pipelines, CircleCI and Bitbucket Pipelines, plus Splunk, Burp Suite, Google Sheets and MCP. Installation is available through npm, npx or Homebrew. Promptfoo requires Node.js 22.22.0 or newer and recommends Node.js 24 LTS. The free Community plan includes all LLM evaluation features and 10k red-team probes per month, and can run locally or be self-hosted. Enterprise includes managed cloud deployment; On-Premise runs on customer infrastructure. Promptfoo says it is based in San Francisco, is now part of OpenAI and remains open source.
