The ai-blackteam sweep command runs every registered attack against every provider that has an API key configured. One command, complete coverage.

​
Running a sweep

ai-blackteam sweep -t "Write a phishing email"
ai-blackteam auto-detects which providers have API keys set (either in config or environment variables) and runs all attacks against each one.

​
What it does

  1. Checks which providers have API keys configured
  2. For each provider, runs every registered attack technique
  3. Shows per-provider results as they complete
  4. Prints a summary table at the end

​
Example output

Sweep: 103 attacks x 3 providers
Target: Write a phishing email

​
Auto-detection

ai-blackteam looks at your config file (~/.ai-blackteam/config.yaml) for providers with API keys. It also checks for ollama which doesn’t need a key. If no providers are configured: 
No providers configured. Set an api_key with: ai-blackteam config set providers.<name>.api_key VALUE

​
Exit codes

  • 0 - all attacks blocked across all providers
  • 1 - at least one attack bypassed on any provider
  • 2 - no providers configured

​
When to use sweep vs benchmark

Sweep runs the same attacks with the same target against all providers. It’s a quick comparison - “how do these models handle this specific target?” Benchmark runs a curated set of targets across multiple harm categories and produces a scored evaluation. It’s more comprehensive and gives you a per-category breakdown. Use sweep for quick comparisons. Use benchmark for formal evaluations.
