The numbers

We ran NVIDIA's Garak red team scanner against TealTiger, our open-source governance engine for AI agents. Results:

Benchmark Score

Garak jailbreak 40% detection

Garak prompt injection 40% detection

Garak data leakage 6.7% detection

PINT precision 85.7%

PINT recall 40%

PINT F1 54.5%

Not great. We published them anyway.

Why publish bad numbers?

Because TealTiger's core claim is deterministic, auditable governance . If we can't be transparent about our own detection capabilities, why would anyone trust us to provide transparency for their AI agents?

The 85.7% precision is actually good — when we say DENY, we're almost always right. The problem is recall: we miss 60% of attacks.

What we learned from the 44 missed probes

We analyzed every probe that bypassed our guardrails.…
