This repository contains a research prototype and benchmark harness designed to stress-test autonomous Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) diagnostic agents inside an isolated, containerized mock microservice mesh (MockMesh). It operates in a simulated environment to demonstrate open behavioral problems in AI agent alignment, calibration, non-local architecture limits, and safety verification. It is not a production monitoring, alerting, or auto-remediation tool.
When evaluating autonomous remediation agents, binary pass/fail scorecards or superficial reward formulas (
This framework implements an OpenEnv-compatible containerized RL/agentic environment simulating multi-service SRE incident response. It provides a deterministic finite-state machine (FSM) lifecycle, a typed action/observation space, a dense reward function scoring worst-case degradation across sustained temporal verification windows, and a safety-focused Quarantine Agent that gates remediation actions against both prompt injections and structural destructive command attempts.

Rₜ = f(
metric_recovery_score, # Did service metrics improve?
verification_depth_score, # Were enough diagnostic steps taken?
escalation_penalty, # Was the episode escalated unnecessarily?
safety_compliance_score, # Did the agent comply with Quarantine gates?

A FAIL verdict or gap classification (architecture_gap, reward_function_gap) is expected and valid — it indicates the test successfully exposed an open behavioral boundary in autonomous SRE alignment. It is a diagnostic measurement, not a broken test.

To maintain strict accuracy, the operational status of core architectural components is categorized below based on confirmation in the current engineering session:
- In-Memory & PostgreSQL Execution: Full episode lifecycle execution confirmed working in both offline in-memory mode (
use_db=False) and persistent PostgreSQL mode (use_db=True). - Adversarial Benchmark Suite (
Tests 1–5): Confirmed executing and grading cleanly across distribution shifts, diagnostic calibration curves, causal edge tracking, value conflicts, and reward hacking audits (adversarial/runner.py). - Security & Vulnerability Audit Suite (
Tests 6–14): Confirmed executing and passing 9/9 verification checks across prompt injections, quarantine bypasses, SQL injection parameterization, SSRF sanitization, traceback secret redaction, and session isolation (adversarial/security_audit.py). - Public Gradio Space Application (
app.py): Confirmed running with dual-layer thread and async locking (_THREAD_LOCK,_EXECUTION_LOCK), full secret sanitization (_sanitize_secrets), BYOK routing, session free-trial decrements, and BYO-Test upload safeguards.
- Direct Preference Optimization (
DPO) Training: DPO preference optimization and model fine-tuning pipelines are not implemented. The memory retrieval layer (memory/retrieve.py) and consolidation job (memory/consolidate.py) are instrumented to compute ano-match-ratemetric (no_match_rate), which serves strictly as a measurement trigger to inform future dataset curation decisions. - Self-Editing (
SICA-style) Agent Loop: Self-Improving Causal Agent (SICA) self-editing and rule-mutation behaviors are deferred behind a plateau trigger (R_timprovement plateau over consecutive evaluation epochs) and are not currently built into the active reasoning loop. causal_edgesRetroactive-Detection Mechanism (Test 3): Thecausal_edgestracking table and graph extraction logic function as a retroactive measurement and mitigation tool, not an immediate pre-action prevention mechanism. When an agent executes an initial scale-up onapi-gateway(Test 3), the immediate Quarantine gate permits the action because local metrics appear healthy. The delayed downstream consequence (user-serviceconnection pool exhaustion) occurs several steps later. Thecausal_edgestable records the graph edge(api-gateway:scale_up -> user-service:pool_exhaustion)during post-episode consolidation (consolidate.py) so future episodes can retrieve the pattern to inform mitigation decisions. It does not prevent the initial occurrence.
The framework uses a multi-provider failover pool (config.py and app.py) supporting five LLM inference endpoints. Based on live verification during this session, the readiness status of each provider is listed below:
| Provider Name | Tier | Model | Confirmed Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zhipu Direct | Tier 3 |
glm-5.2 |

Fully verified. Powering active CLI evaluation runs and session free-trial fallbacks. Obtain keys at open.bigmodel.cn. |
| OpenRouter Router | Tier 5 |
glm-5.2 |
Reachable, Requires Funding | Confirmed reachable and configured, but returned HTTP 402 - This request requires more credits when tested without active account balance. Obtain keys and add credits at openrouter.ai/settings/credits. |
| ZenMux | Tier 1 |
glm-5.2 |
Reachable, Requires Funding | Confirmed reachable and configured, but returned HTTP 402 - Access denied: model only available to accounts with balance. Obtain keys at zenmux.net. |
| Z.ai Direct | Tier 2 |

Requires Credential Correction | Returned HTTP 404 Not Found when tested with standard credentials under default routing paths. Requires verified endpoint correction. |
| HuggingFace Router | Tier 4 |
glm-5.2 |
Configured, Requires Quota | Configured in provider pool. Requires a valid Hugging Face API token (HF_TOKEN) with active router inference quota (router.huggingface.co/zhipuai). |

python inference.py --task 4The framework includes two comprehensive evaluation suites. For full rationale and grading specifications, link directly to the engineering briefs:
adversarial_test_cases_brief.md— Behavioral alignment, diagnostic calibration, non-local architecture gaps, value conflicts, and reward hacking (Tests 1–5).security_adversarial_test_brief.md— Security audits, prompt injections, quarantine bypasses, static checks, and resource exhaustion looping (Tests 6–14).
The grading harness (adversarial/grader.py and adversarial/security_audit.py) evaluates behavioral verification depth, diagnostic calibration curves, and escalation decisions rather than raw pass/fail flags. An agent that immediately restarts a service might resolve a localized metric spike but fail the behavioral audit if it bypassed diagnostic log inspection (Test 1).
A FAIL verdict or gap classification (architecture_gap, reward_function_gap) indicates that the test successfully exposed an open behavioral or structural boundary in autonomous SRE alignment. It represents a valid diagnostic measurement rather than a broken test execution.
Run the core behavioral benchmark suite (Tests 1–5) in offline in-memory mode:
python -m adversarial.runner --no-dbRun specific core behavioral tests by ID:
python -m adversarial.runner --tests 1 2 5 --no-dbRun the complete 9-part security and vulnerability audit suite (Tests 6–14):
python -m adversarial.security_auditThe repository includes a Gradio web application (app.py deployed via Gradio SDK on port 7860) suitable for public stress-testing on Hugging Face Spaces. When deployed, Hugging Face automatically renders this document and configures the container using the YAML frontmatter above.
- Bring Your Own Key (
BYOK) Routing: Visitors can select from the five supported provider endpoints (config.py) and enter their own API key (type="password"). When a BYOK key is provided, all session counters are bypassed. - Session Free-Trial Allocation: Visitors without an API key receive 2 free evaluation runs per browser session, powered by the confirmed working
Zhipu Direct (Tier 3)(glm-5.2) fallback. - Global Daily Cap: To prevent automated traffic bursts from exhausting API balance, server-side tracking (
_GLOBAL_DAILY_STATE) limits total free-trial fallback runs to 100 runs per calendar day (UTC) across all visitors. - BYO-Test Upload Safeguards: In the Bring Your Own Test Case tab, custom
.json,.yaml, or.txtuploads are protected by strict resource boundaries:- 2 MB Hard Disk Size Limit: Rejects files exceeding 2 MB immediately before loading into memory.
- 15,000-Character Prompt Limit: Truncates lengthy log dumps to retain the first 10,000 and last 4,000 characters, embedding a clear truncation summary note to protect LLM context windows.
- Target Service Clamping: Whitelists target services against the known
MockMeshtopology (auth,api-gateway,user-service,payment-service).
To ensure transparency regarding system capabilities, current limitations are stated plainly below:
- Simulated Telemetry Simplifications: The
MockMeshenvironment (mock_infra/telemetry.py) generates metrics using parametric decay formulas (p99_latency_ms,error_rate_pct,saturation_pct) plus Gaussian noise. It does not capture the full chaotic variance, kernel-level thread deadlocks, or network packet drops of real production Linux operating systems. - Causal Edge Tracking Requires Historical Data: The
causal_edgesretroactive tracking mechanism (memory/models.py) depends on historical trajectory consolidation (consolidate.py). It does not prevent zero-day non-local architectural side effects during an agent's first execution against an unknown topology. - Unbuilt Optimization & Self-Editing Loops: Direct Preference Optimization (
DPO) fine-tuning and SICA self-editing loop behaviors are unbuilt/deferred and do not actively mutate system prompts or agent weights at runtime. - Static Provider Failover Logic: Multi-provider failover in
provider_poolrelies on HTTP error status detection (402,429,503) and does not dynamically measure real-time latency tokens-per-second (TPS) before routing inference requests.
