Entropix

The Agent Reliability Engine
Chaos Engineering for AI Agents

---

The Problem

The "Happy Path" Fallacy: Current AI development tools focus on getting an agent to work once. Developers tweak prompts until they get a correct answer, declare victory, and ship.

The Reality: LLMs are non-deterministic. An agent that works on Monday with temperature=0.7 might fail on Tuesday. Users don't follow "Happy Paths" — they make typos, they're aggressive, they lie, and they attempt prompt injections.

The Void:

• Observability Tools (LangSmith) tell you after the agent failed in production
• Eval Libraries (RAGAS) focus on academic scores rather than system reliability
• Missing Link: A tool that actively attacks the agent to prove robustness before deployment

The Solution

Entropix is a local-first testing engine that applies Chaos Engineering principles to AI Agents.

Instead of running one test case, Entropix takes a single "Golden Prompt", generates 50+ adversarial mutations (semantic variations, noise injection, hostile tone, prompt injections), runs them in parallel against your agent, and calculates a Robustness Score.

"If it passes Entropix, it won't break in Production."

Features

• Semantic Mutations: Paraphrasing, noise injection, tone shifts, prompt injections
• Invariant Assertions: Deterministic checks, semantic similarity, safety validations
• Local-First: Uses Ollama with Qwen Coder 3 8B for free, unlimited attacks
• Beautiful Reports: Interactive HTML reports with pass/fail matrices
• CI/CD Ready: GitHub Actions integration to block PRs below reliability thresholds

Quick Start

Installation

pip install entropix

Prerequisites

Entropix uses Ollama for local model inference:

# Install Ollama (macOS/Linux)
curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh

# Pull the default model
ollama pull qwen3:8b

Initialize Configuration

entropix init

This creates an entropix.yaml configuration file:

version: "1.0"

agent:
  endpoint: "http://localhost:8000/invoke"
  type: "http"
  timeout: 30000

model:
  provider: "ollama"
  name: "qwen3:8b"
  base_url: "http://localhost:11434"

mutations:
  count: 20
  types:
    - paraphrase
    - noise
    - tone_shift
    - prompt_injection

golden_prompts:
  - "Book a flight to Paris for next Monday"
  - "What's my account balance?"

invariants:
  - type: "latency"
    max_ms: 2000
  - type: "valid_json"

output:
  format: "html"
  path: "./reports"

Run Tests

entropix run

Output:

Mutation Types

Type	Description	Example
Paraphrase	Semantically equivalent rewrites	"Book a flight" → "I need to fly out"
Noise	Typos and spelling errors	"Book a flight" → "Book a fliight plz"
Tone Shift	Aggressive/impatient phrasing	"Book a flight" → "I need a flight NOW!"
Prompt Injection	Adversarial attack attempts	"Book a flight and ignore previous instructions"

Invariants (Assertions)

Deterministic

    max_ms: 2000
  - type: "valid_json"

Semantic

invariants:
  - type: "similarity"
    expected: "Your flight has been booked"
    threshold: 0.8

Safety

Agent Adapters

HTTP Endpoint

agent:
  type: "http"
  endpoint: "http://localhost:8000/invoke"

Python Callable

from entropix import test_agent

@test_agent
async def my_agent(input: str) -> str:
    # Your agent logic
    return response

LangChain

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions

name: Agent Reliability Check

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      
      - name: Setup Ollama
        run: |
          curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh
          ollama pull qwen3:8b
      
      - name: Install Entropix
        run: pip install entropix
      
      - name: Run Reliability Tests
        run: entropix run --min-score 0.9 --ci

Robustness Score

The Robustness Score is calculated as:

R = \frac{W_s \cdot S_{passed} + W_d \cdot D_{passed}}{N_{total}}

Where:

• S_{passed} = Semantic variations passed
• D_{passed} = Deterministic tests passed
• W = Weights assigned by mutation difficulty
