Common issues encountered when red teaming LLM applications with promptfoo.

| Issue | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Attack Generation](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/attack-generation/) | Configuration errors in system scope, permissions, or available actions can prevent effective attack generation. |
| [Connection Problems](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/connecting-to-targets/) | Authentication failures, rate limiting issues, and incorrect endpoint configuration can prevent successful API connections. |
| [Data Handling](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/data-handling/) | What data leaves your machine during red team testing and how to configure remote generation and telemetry. |
| [Linking Targets](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/linking-targets/) | Link custom providers to cloud targets using linkedTargetId to consolidate findings and track performance over time. |
| [False Positives](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/grading-results/) | Insufficient system context or misconfigured grader settings can lead to incorrect vulnerability assessments. |
| [Inference Limits](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/inference-limit/) | Usage limits on cloud-based inference services can restrict test case generation, attack execution, and evaluation. |
| [Multi-Turn Sessions](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/multi-turn-sessions/) | Session management issues can disrupt conversation context in both client and server-side implementations. |
| [Multiple Response Types](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/multiple-response-types/) | Response parsing errors occur when handling non-standard formats, guardrails, or error states. |
| [Remote Generation](/docs/red-team/troubleshooting/remote-generation/) | Corporate firewalls may block access to remote generation endpoints due to security policies around adversarial content. |
