Diagnose and fix common errors in AIRT attack generation, execution, and results collection.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Error Troubleshooting Common errors and fixes for AIRT attack workflows. ## Model Errors ### "Model not found" / "Invalid model" - **Cause**: Bare model name without provider prefix - **Fix**: Always use `provider/model` format: `openai/gpt-4o`, `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514` - **Aliases**: Use short aliases like `gpt-4o`, `claude`, `groq` — they auto-resolve ### "Rate limit exceeded" / 429 - **Cause**: Too many concurrent requests to the provider - **Fix**: Reduce `n_iterations` or switch to a less rate-limited provider - **For Groq**: Groq has strict rate limits. Use `groq/llama-3.3-70b-versatile` for lower limits ### "Authentication failed" / 401 - **Cause**: Missing or invalid API key for the provider - **Fix**: Ensure the correct API key is set as a platform secret (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, etc.) - **Check**: API keys are pre-configured in the environment. If missing, ask the user to add them via Settings > Secrets ### "Context length exceeded" - **Cause**: Conversation history too long for model's context window - **Fix**: Reduce `context_depth` or `n_iterations`, or switch to a model with larger context ## Transform Errors …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/error-troubleshooting@sha256:533c19765de6e79dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.2fc80d2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
