- You want anti-gaming detection to ensure honest test results
- You want to list your agent in a public trust directory
When to choose DeepTeam
- You want full control to write custom attack scenarios in Python
- You need production guardrails for runtime input/output filtering
- You want to integrate red teaming directly into your Python test suite
- You need OWASP ASI 2026 or MITRE ATLAS framework compliance
- You prefer open-source tools you can modify and contribute to
