About prompttools

PromptTools :wrench: Test and experiment with prompts, LLMs, and vector databases. :hammer: Welcome to created by Hegel AI! This repo offers a set of open-source, self-hostable tools for experimenting with, testing, and evaluating LLMs, vector databases, and prompts. The core idea is to enable developers to evaluate using familiar interfaces like code, notebooks, and a local playground. In just a few lines of code, you can test your prompts and parameters across different models (whether you are using OpenAI, Anthropic, or LLaMA models).

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
