AI Red-Team Prompt for Know Your Agent (KYA) Delegation Audits
This **Arbiter** review prompt audits your **Know Your Agent (KYA)** delegation frameworks by attacking them. Arbiter, the deepidv autonomous red-team agent, designs an unauthorized-agent simulation campaign covering missing credentials, expired or revoked mandates, out-of-scope actions, spoofed delegation chains, and replayed sessions, then executes it as labeled synthetic traffic across your payment settlement gates. The output is a KYA enforcement scorecard per gate, a full simulation log with interception latency, a ranked list of divergences between the written framework and observed enforcement, and a hardening plan with re-test criteria. Built for payments and platform security teams at fintechs and crypto platforms where autonomous agents already initiate transactions.
How to use this prompt
- 1
Open Arbiter in the deepidv dashboard and paste the full prompt, or run it in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini if you are designing the audit before touching live gates.
- 2
Replace the INPUT section with your settlement gates, your KYA framework as implemented (credential format, mandate scoping, delegation depth, revocation handling), the per-gate authentication checks, and your production agent integrations.
- 3
Run the prompt and read the KYA enforcement scorecard first: each gate is rated enforced, partial, or open for every failure class, with the simulated request behind each rating.
- 4
Hand the hardening plan to your payments engineering team, and route the framework gap list to compliance so the written KYA policy and observed enforcement converge.
- 5
Re-run the audit after each new agent integration and each mandate format change so unauthorized delegation paths are caught before an agent moves real funds.
The prompt
Arbiter, execute an automated red-team audit evaluating our Know Your Agent delegation frameworks. Simulate unauthorized AI agent transaction requests across our payment settlement gates to verify that unauthenticated agentic actions are intercepted before execution. ROLE: You are Arbiter, the deepidv autonomous red-team agent. You probe a firm's own controls with adversarial simulations and report exactly where an unauthorized action would have executed. CONTEXT: Autonomous AI agents now initiate transactions on behalf of customers, and Know Your Agent (KYA) frameworks govern that delegation: every agent must present a verifiable identity, a mandate scoped to specific actions, and a chain of delegation back to an accountable human or entity. The attack surface is the gap between those requirements and their enforcement: an agent with an expired mandate, a spoofed delegation chain, or no credential at all attempting to move funds through a settlement gate. INPUT, the user will paste: - Payment settlement gates in scope and the transaction types each gate clears - The KYA delegation framework as implemented: agent credential format, mandate scoping rules, delegation chain depth, and revocation handling - The authentication checks each gate runs on an incoming agentic request today - Transaction limits and velocity rules applied to agent-initiated activity - Agent integrations already in production (payment agents, treasury agents, procurement agents) TASKS: 1. Design an unauthorized-agent simulation campaign covering the core failure classes: missing credentials, expired or revoked mandates, out-of-scope actions under a valid mandate, spoofed delegation chains, and replayed agent sessions. 2. Execute the campaign against each settlement gate as clearly labeled synthetic traffic, recording whether each unauthorized request was intercepted before execution, after execution, or not at all. 3. Score the delegation framework against its own rules: every place enforcement diverges from the written framework is a finding. 4. Produce a hardening plan that closes each interception failure at the gate where it occurred. OUTPUT FORMAT, return the following structured response: 1. KYA ENFORCEMENT SCORECARD - Each settlement gate rated enforced, partial, or open for each failure class - The simulated request behind every rating 2. SIMULATION LOG - Every synthetic unauthorized request: failure class, gate, mandate state presented, and outcome (intercepted pre-execution, intercepted post-execution, missed) - Interception latency for each caught request 3. DELEGATION FRAMEWORK GAPS - Divergences between the written KYA framework and observed enforcement, ranked by the transaction value each one exposes - Revocation propagation delay measured from mandate revocation to gate refusal 4. HARDENING PLAN - Ordered fixes per gate: credential validation, mandate scope checks, delegation chain verification, and replay defenses - The re-test criteria proving unauthenticated agentic actions are intercepted before execution Treat every simulated request as labeled synthetic traffic that must never clear real funds. Where the supplied framework detail is insufficient to score a gate, flag the question instead of guessing.
Test it in Claude or another LLM
This prompt is built for the Arbiter agent inside deepidv, where Arbiter executes the unauthorized-agent campaign against live settlement gate logic and records real interception outcomes. You can dry-run the same workflow in any general LLM first with synthetic gate and framework data to see the scorecard before running labeled traffic anywhere real.
- 1
Paste the full prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, but replace the opening 'Arbiter,' with a role instruction such as 'Act as an agentic AI security auditor red-teaming a Know Your Agent delegation framework.' Keep the four OUTPUT FORMAT sections exactly as written.
- 2
Under the INPUT section, paste the synthetic sample block below so the model has settlement gates, a KYA framework, and per-gate checks to audit against.
- 3
Add one framing line: 'This is synthetic test data. Predict interception outcomes strictly from the supplied gate checks; where an outcome cannot be derived from the input, flag it as an open question instead of guessing.'
- 4
Check the output shape: a KYA enforcement scorecard with enforced, partial, or open calls per failure class, a simulation log with mandate states and outcomes, a ranked framework gap list, and a hardening plan with re-test criteria. If the model invents a check the input does not contain, tighten the role line and re-run.
- 5
Once the output shape is right, run it live in the deepidv dashboard where Arbiter executes the campaign against your real settlement gate logic.
Synthetic sample data to paste alongside the prompt
Fake test data, safe to share with any LLM. Swap in your own once the output looks right.
SETTLEMENT GATES (synthetic, fake): - Gate A: instant payments, per-transaction cap $10,000 - Gate B: batch treasury settlement, daily cap $2,000,000 KYA FRAMEWORK (fake): agent credential = signed JWT; mandate scopes = pay, refund, report; delegation depth max 2; revocation via daily list sync GATE CHECKS TODAY (fake): Gate A validates JWT signature only; Gate B validates signature plus scope, no delegation chain check AGENT LIMITS (fake): agent-initiated velocity cap 20 transactions/hour PRODUCTION AGENTS (fake): one customer payment agent, one internal treasury agent

FAQ
What is Know Your Agent (KYA)?
Know Your Agent extends identity verification to autonomous AI agents acting on behalf of customers or businesses. Each agent must present a verifiable identity, a mandate scoped to specific actions, and a delegation chain back to an accountable human or entity before it can transact. Gartner's 2026 identity verification research treats KYA as a distinct evaluation category, which is pushing payment platforms to formalize these frameworks.
Why simulate unauthorized agent requests instead of reviewing the framework on paper?
Because the risk lives in the gap between the written framework and what the gates enforce. A policy can require delegation chain verification while a gate only validates a token signature; the simulation surfaces that divergence with a concrete missed request, the transaction value it exposes, and the fix.
Is the simulation safe to run against production settlement gates?
Every simulated request is labeled synthetic traffic and must never clear real funds; the campaign is built to be intercepted, not settled. Teams typically run the first pass in a staging environment, then repeat it against production gate logic in shadow mode once the perimeter is confirmed.
Can I use this prompt outside the deepidv dashboard?
Yes. The structure works in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini as an audit-design framework and will return the scorecard, simulation log, framework gap list, and hardening plan. Live campaign execution against real settlement gates only works when it runs inside the deepidv dashboard.
