LLM safety & security scanning tool
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--verbose, -v add one or more times to increase verbosity of output
during runtime
--report_prefix REPORT_PREFIX
Specify an optional prefix for the report and hit logs
--narrow_output give narrow CLI output
--parallel_requests PARALLEL_REQUESTS
How many generator requests to launch in parallel for
a given prompt. Ignored for models that support
multiple generations per call.
--parallel_attempts PARALLEL_ATTEMPTS
How many probe attempts to launch in parallel. Raise
this for faster runs when using non-local models.
--skip_unknown allow skip of unknown probes, detectors, or buffs
--seed SEED, -s SEED random seed
--deprefix remove the prompt from the front of generator output
--eval_threshold EVAL_THRESHOLD
minimum threshold for a successful hit
--generations GENERATIONS, -g GENERATIONS
number of generations per prompt
--config CONFIG YAML config file for this run
--model_type MODEL_TYPE, -m MODEL_TYPE
module and optionally also class of the generator,
e.g. 'huggingface', or 'openai'
--model_name MODEL_NAME, -n MODEL_NAME
name of the model, e.g.
'timdettmers/guanaco-33b-merged'
--probes PROBES, -p PROBES
list of probe names to use, or 'all' for all
(default).
--probe_tags PROBE_TAGS
only include probes with a tag that starts with this
value (e.g. owasp:llm01)
--detectors DETECTORS, -d DETECTORS
list of detectors to use, or 'all' for all. Default is
to use the probe's suggestion.
--extended_detectors If detectors aren't specified on the command line,
should we run all detectors? (default is just the
primary detector, if given, else everything)
--buffs BUFFS, -b BUFFS
list of buffs to use. Default is none
--buff_option_file BUFF_OPTION_FILE, -B BUFF_OPTION_FILE
path to JSON file containing options to pass to buff
--buff_options BUFF_OPTIONS
options to pass to buff, formatted as a JSON dict
--detector_option_file DETECTOR_OPTION_FILE, -D DETECTOR_OPTION_FILE
path to JSON file containing options to pass to
detector
--detector_options DETECTOR_OPTIONS
options to pass to detector, formatted as a JSON dict
--generator_option_file GENERATOR_OPTION_FILE, -G GENERATOR_OPTION_FILE
path to JSON file containing options to pass to
generator
--generator_options GENERATOR_OPTIONS
options to pass to generator, formatted as a JSON dict
--harness_option_file HARNESS_OPTION_FILE, -H HARNESS_OPTION_FILE
path to JSON file containing options to pass to
harness
--harness_options HARNESS_OPTIONS
options to pass to harness, formatted as a JSON dict
--probe_option_file PROBE_OPTION_FILE, -P PROBE_OPTION_FILE
path to JSON file containing options to pass to probe
--probe_options PROBE_OPTIONS
options to pass to probe, formatted as a JSON dict
--taxonomy TAXONOMY specify a MISP top-level taxonomy to be used for
grouping probes in reporting. e.g. 'avid-effect',
'owasp'
--plugin_info PLUGIN_INFO
show info about one plugin; format as
type.plugin.class, e.g. probes.lmrc.Profanity
--list_probes list available vulnerability probes
--list_detectors list available detectors
--list_generators list available generation model interfaces
--list_buffs list available buffs/fuzzes
--list_config print active config info (and don't scan)
--version, -V print version info & exit
--report REPORT, -r REPORT
process garak report into a list of AVID reports
--interactive, -I Enter interactive probing mode
--generate_autodan generate AutoDAN prompts; requires --prompt_options
with JSON containing a prompt and target
--interactive.py Launch garak in interactive.py mode
--fix Update provided configuration with fixer migrations;
requires one of --config / --*_option_file, /
--*_options
