Outside information can change the task.
A page or document may include instructions aimed at the assistant. It can mistake that content for a request from the user.

AI security for applications, agents, and models.
Guard and Red help businesses inspect AI interactions and test agents. Model Clearance checks downloaded model files before they are loaded.

Built for a multi-model world
What changes when software uses AI?
AI applications read outside material and may use tools. Teams running downloaded models also need to inspect the files they load.
An AI agent can do more than answer.
When connected to tools, an agent may send data or change files. The safeguards around those actions need to hold even when the input is untrusted.
Downloaded models can carry more than weights.
Teams running open-source or third-party models load files into their own systems. Opening some formats runs code the file carries; Model Clearance checks those files first.
These are three examples.
And more.Every day.
New tools, workflows, and model formats create new paths to examine. We test what changes and build products around what we find.
Our products
Guard, Red, and Model Clearance each focus on a different part of AI security.
Promptention Guard
Runtime inspection of prompts, tool interactions, and model outputs in AI applications.
- Prompt inspection
- Agent tool activity
Promptention Red
Adversarial testing for LLM and agentic applications, focused on prompt injection, tool misuse, and data exposure.
- Adversarial test cases
- Documented findings
Promptention Model Clearance
For teams running downloaded models in their own environment, Model Clearance checks files for code they would run and for risky loading paths before use.
- Model file analysis
- Loading risk findings
Where Guard fits in an AI application
Prompts, retrieved pages, tool results, and agent handoffs can carry instructions or sensitive data toward a model. This illustration compares that path with and without inspection.

A finding means more when you can see what led to it.
Each product lets you follow the evidence behind a result. You can inspect the request, the agent's response, or the exact location of a concern in a downloaded model file.
What entered the application?
Guard examines prompts, retrieved content, and tool interactions at runtime. The inspection points to what entered and how the request was handled.
