|
68
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
69
|
+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
|
|
70
|
+
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the

|
71
|

+
|
|
73
|
+
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
|
|
74
|
+
this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
|
|
75
|
+
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
|
|
76

(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
|
|
77
|
+
use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
|
|
78
|
+
where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
|
|
79

by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
|
|
80
|
+
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
|
|
81
|
+
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
|
|
82
|
+
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
|
83
|
+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
|
|
84
|
+
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
|
|
85
|
+
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
|
|
86
|
+
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
|
|
87
|
+
as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
|
|
90
|
+
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
|
|
91
|
+
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
|
|
92
|
+
meet the following conditions:
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
|
|
95
|
+
Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
98
|

|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
|
|
101
|
+
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
|
|
102
|
+
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
|
|
103
|
+
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
|
|
104
|
+
the Derivative Works; and
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
(d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
|
|
107
|
+
distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
|
|
108
|
+
include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
|
|
109
|
+
within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
|
|
110
|
+
pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
|
|
111
|
+
of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
|
|
112
|
+
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
|
|
113
|
+
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
|
|
114
|
+
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
|
|
115
|
+
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
|
|
116
|
+
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
|
|
117
|
+
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
|
|
118
|
+
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
|
|
119
|
+
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
|
|
120
|
+
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
|
|
121
|
+
as modifying the License.
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
|
|
124
|
+
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
|
|
125
|
+
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
|
|
126
|
+
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
|
|
127
|
+
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
|
|
128
|
+
the conditions stated in this License.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
|
|
131
|
+
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
|
|
132
|
+
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
|
|
133
|
+
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
|
134
|
+
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
|
|
135
|
+
the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
|
|
136
|
+
with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
|
|
139
|
+
names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
|
|
140
|
+
except as required for describing the origin of the Work and
|
|
141
|
+
reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
|
|
144
|
+
agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
|
|
145
|
+
Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
|
146
|
+
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
|
|
147
|
+
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
|
|
148
|
+
of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
|
|
149
|
+
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
|
|
150
|
+
appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
|
|
151
|
+
risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
|
|
154
|
+
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
|
|
155
|
+
unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
|
|
156
|
+
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
|
157
|
+
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
|
|
158
|
+
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
|
|
159
|
+
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
|
|
160
|
+
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
|
|
161
|
+
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
|
|
162
|
+
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
|
163
|
+
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
9. Accepting Warranty or Support. While redistributing the Work or
|
|
166
|
+
Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer, and charge a
|
|
167
|
+
fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or other
|
|
168
|
+
liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License.
|
|
169
|
+
However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your
|
|
170
|
+
own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any
|
|
171
|
+
other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, defend,
|
|
172
|
+
and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by,
|
|
173
|
+
or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason of your
|
|
174
|
+
accepting any such warranty or support.

# Argus
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
**Argus** is an enterprise-IAM-flavored agentic-safety substrate for LLM
|
|
33
|
+
safety research. It provides a hardened gateway-adapter family, two
|
|
34
|
+
composable runtime defense layers, and MITRE-mapped probe sets, all running
|
|
35
|
+
locally on Apple Silicon.
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
The framework is designed for **defensive** evaluation: helping researchers
|
|
38
|
+
and security teams measure how well an LLM-driven IAM operations agent
|
|
39
|
+
resists realistic attack patterns, and what each defense layer contributes.
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
> **Status:** v0.1 — first public release. Gateway baseline (`v3-prod-r2`)
|
|
42
|
+
> and probe sets are published. Hardened variants, the full eval CLI, and
|
|
43
|
+
> the documentation site are coming next.

## Install
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
### Prerequisites
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|
|
87
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
88
|
+
| Mac | Apple Silicon (M-series) | Mac Studio M2 Ultra or newer |
|
|
89
|
+
| RAM | 96 GB | 192 GB |
|
|
90
|
+
| Disk | 200 GB free | 500 GB free |
|
|
91
|
+
| OS | macOS 14+ | macOS 15+ |
|
|
92
|
+
| Docker | Docker Desktop 4.30+ | Latest |
|
|
93
|
+
| Python | 3.10+ | 3.12 |
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
Intel Macs are unsupported — `mlx-lm` requires Apple Silicon. Windows and
|
|
96
|
+
Linux are out of scope for v1.
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
### One-command install
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
```bash
|
|
101
|
+
git clone https://github.com/proband-xyz/argus.git
|
|
102
|
+
cd argus
|
|
103
|
+
./bootstrap.sh
|
|
104
|
+
```
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
`bootstrap.sh` is idempotent. It:
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
1. Verifies the platform (macOS + Apple Silicon, macOS 14+).
|
|
109
|
+
2. Verifies Docker Desktop is running and Python 3.10+ is available.
|
|
110
|
+
3. Creates `.venv` and installs Argus (`pip install -e .[dev]`).
|
|
111
|
+
4. Confirms `mlx-lm` sees the Metal GPU.
|
|
112
|
+
5. Starts the 7-service enterprise stack via `docker compose`.
|
|
113
|
+
6. Waits for every service to report healthy.
|
|
114
|
+
7. Prints next-step commands.
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
Wall-clock: ~2 minutes plus the (one-time) container image pulls on first run.
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
### Manual install
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
If you prefer to step through manually:
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
```bash
|
|
123
|
+
# 1. Python venv + Argus (editable install)
|
|
124
|
+
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
|
|
125
|
+
pip install --upgrade pip
|
|
126
|
+
pip install -e ".[dev]"
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
# 2. Verify mlx-lm sees the GPU
|
|
129
|
+
python -c "import mlx.core as mx; print('Metal device:', mx.default_device())"
|
|
130
|
+
# expected: Metal device: Device(gpu, 0)
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
# 3. Start the enterprise stack
|
|
133
|
+
cd infra && make up && make health
|
|
134
|
+
```
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
> **PyPI:** `argus-safety` is reserved on PyPI but not yet published.
|
|
137
|
+
> Until then, install from this repo with `pip install -e .` or
|
|
138
|
+
> `pip install git+https://github.com/proband-xyz/argus.git`.

### Models
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
The base model (`mlx-community/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-bf16`, ~140 GB) and the
|
|
143
|
+
LoRA adapter (`proband-xyz/argus-baseline-v3-prod-r2`, ~660 MB) download on
|
|
144
|
+
first use of `examples/quickstart.py` or `examples/run_eval.py`.
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
### Enterprise stack
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
`bootstrap.sh` starts these services via `docker compose` (all bound to
|
|
149
|
+
`127.0.0.1` only):

Resource footprint with everything running: ~3 GB RAM and ~5 GB disk
|
|
161
|

(plus volumes that grow with use). All defaults are intentionally weak
|

(see `infra/.env.example`) and must not be reused outside this prototype.

## Architecture
|
|
245
|
+
|
|
246
|
+
Argus uses a **decoupled gateway-executor** architecture. The gateway speaks
|
|
247
|
+
text only; the executor (no adapter) emits tool calls only when invited. The
|
|
248
|
+
two runtime defense layers compose on top.

## Probe set summaries
|
|
315
|
+
|
|
316
|
+
### `data/probes/argus_eval_v1.jsonl` (175 probes)
|
|
317
|
+
|
|
318
|
+
Broad agentic-safety eval across six categories: tool-use breadth (E1),
|
|
319
|
+
direct-harm refusal (E2), persona/RBAC scope (E3), over-refusal floor (E4),
|
|
320
|
+
multi-turn workflow (E5), and tool-result handling (E7). Each probe carries
|
|
321
|
+
its category, expected outcome, persona, and tool schemas.
|
|
322
|
+
|
|
323
|
+
### `data/probes/corpus_v1_adversarial.jsonl` (198 probes)
|
|
324
|
+
|
|
325
|
+
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise-mapped IAM attack patterns across 10 behavioral
|
|
326
|
+
families: account management, access requests, asset inventory, incident
|
|
327
|
+
response, knowledge-base retrieval, reporting, communication, compliance,
|
|
328
|
+
automation, and investigation. Each probe is tagged with its MITRE technique
|
|
329
|
+
IDs and attack-pattern citation. The probes are *adversarial* (the model
|
|
330
|
+
should refuse); paired legitimate prompts in each family are used during
|
|
331
|
+
model training and are not redistributed here.

## Responsible use & academic framing
|
|
347
|
+
|
|
348
|
+
Argus is an **academic LLM-safety research framework**. It exists to help
|
|
349
|
+
researchers and security teams measure and improve the robustness of
|
|
350
|
+
LLM-driven IAM agents, in line with the practices of:

### Intended use
|
|
365
|
+
|
|
366
|
+
- Evaluating gateway robustness against published attack-pattern catalogs.
|
|
367
|
+
- Reproducing the layered-defense ablation table.
|
|
368
|
+
- Building further variants in the Argus family for comparative research.
|
|
369
|
+
- Teaching: showing how decoupled architectures + runtime defenses compose.
|
|
370
|
+
|
|
371
|
+
### Out of scope
|
|
372
|
+
|
|
373
|
+
- Production deployment as the sole control plane for destructive,
|
|
374
|
+
irreversible, or audit-trail-defeating actions.
|
|
375
|
+
- Generating attack payloads against real production IAM systems.
|
|
376
|
+
- Any use that targets systems the user does not own or have explicit
|
|
377
|
+
authorization to test.
|
|
378
|
+
|
|
379
|
+
### Responsible-disclosure pattern
|
|
380
|
+
|
|
381
|
+
The Argus team follows a CVE-style responsible-disclosure pattern for
|
|
382
|
+
attack-pattern *catalogs* that the published gateway does not yet defend
|
|
383
|
+
against:
|
|
384
|
+
|
|
385
|
+
> If we have measured an attack class to which the current published gateway
|
|
386
|
+
> is vulnerable, we hold the catalog private until a verified defense (either
|
|
387
|
+
> a hardened gateway variant or a runtime layer) is also publicly available.
|
|
388
|
+
|
|
389
|
+
This keeps the framework useful to defenders without front-running the
|
|
390
|
+
disclosure window with material that's primarily useful to attackers.
|
|
391
|
+
|
|
392
|
+
### Hardware + threat-model boundary
|
|
393
|
+
|
|
394
|
+
All inference is local (on-device Apple Silicon via `mlx-lm`). The simulated
|
|
395
|
+
IAM stack (Keycloak schemas, sample principals) is synthetic. No real PII or
|
|
396
|
+
production credentials are involved in any training, eval, or example.

Contributions are welcome. The roadmap:
|
|
419
|
+
|
|
420
|
+
1. **Hardened variants** — `argus-deliberative` (SFT + counter-corpus),
|
|
421
|
+
`argus-constitutional` (+ Constitutional AI SL phase),
|
|
422
|
+
`argus-rr` (+ Representation Rerouting).
|
|
423
|
+
2. **Argus-mini** — smaller-base-model variant (7B/8B) for sub-10-minute
|
|
424
|
+
quickstart.
|
|
425
|
+
3. **mkdocs documentation site** — auto-deployed to GitHub Pages.
|
|
426
|
+
4. **Additional probe sets** in line with the responsible-disclosure pattern
|
|
427
|
+
above.

The decoupled gateway-executor architecture is influenced by the Dual-LLM
|
|
436
|
+
pattern (Willison 2023), CaMeL (Debenedetti et al. 2025), and the
|
|
437
|
+
Plan-then-Execute family (Wu et al. 2025). The probe-set design draws on
|
|
438
|
+
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise and AgentHarm.
