Microsoft Open-Sources RAMPART and Clarity for AI Agent Safety

Released May 20, RAMPART (Risk Assessment and Measurement Platform for Agentic Red Teaming) is a Pytest-native framework for writing and running safety tests against AI agents — adversarial and benign — directly in CI pipelines. It's built on top of PyRIT, Microsoft's existing red-teaming automation library. Clarity is a structured design tool that guides teams through problem definition, solution options, and failure analysis before writing any code. The philosophy: "AI safety has to become a continuous engineering discipline rather than a periodic checkpoint."
