This means you will find out early in development if model configuration such as system prompt and temperature, or model, or application changes affect your risk posture. We recommend initially running and using Mindgard in an observational capacity, rather than blocking development activities until you have established a baseline. ### Gating Pipelines Consider also using the Mindgard CLI as a gating check within your pipeline. A reason for gating is to be alerted and able to take remediation action as soon as a change results in a significant increase in flagged events. First run a test without gating, establish a baseline ratio of flagged events, and then configure the Mindgard integration to your pipeline to fail the check if the baseline ratio is exceeded. The --risk-threshold flag assists with this. Setting --risk-threshold 50 makes the Mindgard CLI yield a non-zero exit status code if any attack technique tested shows over 50% flagged events. You can see an example of using the CLI as a gating check in the [mindgard-github-action-example](https://github.com/Mindgard/mindgard-github-action-example/blob/main/.github/workflows/mindgard-test.yml) github repo. A sample GitHub action workflow that can be seen at the link preceding this image ### Fine-grained Control Gating with the --risk-threshold flag uses total ratio of flagged events across the test. Alternatively, any of the test result data can be used to gate your build via the --json flag together with another tool such as jq to extract other information to gate upon. This example uses the jq tool to extract the attacks which have at least 50% flagged events. ``` mindgard test --config mytarget.toml --json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.attack.flagged_events / .attack.total_events >= 0.5) | (.attack.attack_name +", "+ .attack.dataset_name)' ``` With this method, you can extract any information you wish from the results to control your pipeline behavior. ## Webhooks for Ticketing & SIEM Outgoing webhooks can be used to integrate Mindgard with a variety of systems. This screenshot illustrates a Mindgard test in progress as it creates tickets within a Jira board. Outbound webhooks POST a JSON representation of an attack result to an HTTPS endpoint of your choosing. This can trigger a workflow in the receiving system to create a ticket, fire an alert, or aggregate for reporting. The configuration on the Jira side for the above integration filters the incoming webhooks to only create tickets where the ratio of flagged events is over 50%. Various conditional attributes can also be configured within Mindgard for each webhook to control whether the webhook triggers. These include flagged events threshold, attack name, and various other attack attributes. If you wish to use webhooks, please contact [support@mindgard.ai](mailto:support@mindgard.ai) to request that webhooks entitlement is enabled for your team. ## Composite Tests ### CLI & JSON The JSON flag can be used to build workflows that take the output of one test command and craft another. For example to run a fast test to find a high risk technique, and if found follow up with a more extensive test in a relevant domain. ``` TEST_RESULTS=$(mindgard test --config mytarget.toml --json) ATTACK_DATASET=$(echo $TEST_RESULTS | jq -r '.items[] | select(.attack.flagged_events / .attack.total_events >= 0.5) | (.attack.attack_name +", "+ .attack.dataset_name)' | head -n 1); if [[ -z $ATTACK_DATASET ]]; then mindgard test --config mytarget.toml --dataset finance --mode thorough; fi ``` ### Python SDK For more advanced workflow needs, consider using the Mindgard Python SDK to define your tests in Python rather than Shell. See the [Python SDK section](/user-guide/python-sdk) for more details.
