Prompt Injection Tester

Audit whether your architecture makes prompt injection matter, check your system prompt's structure, and generate a canary-scored test suite to run against your own endpoint.

Everything on this page runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, logged or sent anywhere — and unlike the other pages in this family, what you paste here is deliberately NOT written into the URL. Only the settings are. A scanner that put your secrets in a shareable link would be causing the leak it exists to prevent.

Nothing is executed on this page. No model is called, no verdict is computed from an output, and there is no score here that came from a test. What this does is audit the two things that are decidable without running anything — the shape of your architecture and the structure of your system prompt — and then generate a suite you run yourself.

Your architectureAnswer for the system as deployed, not as designed.

Does the model ever read text you did not write?

User messages, uploaded documents, retrieved chunks, web pages, emails, tool results, database rows, filenames, a PDF's invisible layer.

Can it reach data the person sending the request could not already read?

Another tenant's rows, internal documents, a service account's mailbox, the system prompt itself, a tool that queries with elevated rights.

Is there any channel by which text could leave?

An HTTP tool, an email or message tool, a git push, a rendered markdown image whose URL the model chose, a link the user might click, an error message sent to a third party.

Is every side-effecting tool call confirmed by a human who sees the arguments?

Seeing the arguments matters. A confirmation dialog that says “run search?” without showing the query is not a gate.

Is untrusted content wrapped in a delimiter and labelled as data?

Not a defence on its own — but its absence means an injection does not even have to escape anything.

Are tool arguments checked against an allowlist before execution?

A model that can choose the URL, the SQL, the file path or the recipient has been given that capability, whatever the prompt says.

Is model output rendered as HTML or markdown that can load a remote resource?

An image tag whose src the model wrote is a GET request with whatever the model put in the query string. This is the most-used exfiltration channel there is.

Does anything untrusted reach the same context as your instructions?

A quarantined model that summarises untrusted text and returns a constrained value, with the privileged model never seeing the raw text, is a different architecture from prompting harder.

Your system prompt (optional)Structural audit only. This one is deliberately NOT written into the URL.

Canary stringThe test suite asks the model to emit this. Anything else is a pass.

Your prompt templateUse {{UNTRUSTED}} where retrieved or user content goes, and {{QUESTION}} for the task.

What this assumes: the trifecta verdict is a plain conjunction of your own three answers and nothing else. The system-prompt audit checks for credentials, for prompt-level defences that are known not to hold, and for an interpolation with no delimiter in front of it — it cannot tell whether your prompt is otherwise well written. The generated suite renders twelve public pattern families into your template; those families are the ones documented in the open literature, they are what a bored attacker tries first, and they are nowhere near everything.

Why this page does not run the tests

It cannot. Everything on this site's tools runs in your browser with no account and no API key, so there is no model to call — and a page that printed a verdict it had not computed would be worse than no page. What it can do without a model is exactly two things, and both of them are the part people skip: work out whether the architecture makes injection matter, and hand you a suite you can actually run.

The architecture question is the one that decides the outcome

Prompt injection is not a filtering problem. There is no reliable way to separate instructions from data inside a single context window, because the model has no channel that distinguishes them — everything is tokens, and your rules and the attacker's text arrive through the same one. What decides whether an injection is a curiosity or an incident is what the system can do once it succeeds. Untrusted content, private data and an outbound channel: any two are survivable, all three are an exfiltration primitive waiting for someone to notice.

How to score the suite

Each case asks the model to emit a canary. Scoring is a substring check, which is why the canary should be something that appears nowhere else. Three things trip people up. First, check the tool call log and not just the reply — the tool-argument case succeeds silently. Second, check any URL the model produced, including inside markdown images, because that case leaks without printing anything. Third, run the delayed-trigger case over two turns; a single-turn harness scores it as a pass when the instruction was stored rather than refused.

And treat the result as a regression suite rather than a grade. Twelve of twelve resisted means these twelve patterns, on this model, at this temperature, today. Its value is that it fails loudly when you change a model or edit a prompt, which is the only thing about injection testing that is genuinely reliable.
