The evaluator module provides standardized methods for evaluating the effectiveness of jailbreak attempts. It offers consistent scoring and assessment of whether a prompt successfully elicits prohibited content from a target model.
AdverserialEvaluator
For comprehensive evaluation of jailbreak methods, the module includes an AdverserialEvaluator class.
from generalanalysis.jailbreaks import AdverserialEvaluator
evaluator = AdverserialEvaluator(
dataset="harmbench",
target_models=["gpt-4o", "claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219"],
evaluator_model="gpt-4o",
max_workers=20
)
results = evaluator.evaluate_tap_responses(
queries=["Jailbreak prompt 1", "Jailbreak prompt 2"],
goals=["Goal 1", "Goal 2"],
responses=["Response 1", "Response 2"]
)Constructor Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
dataset | str | (Required) | Name of dataset to use (e.g., “harmbench”) |
target_models | List[str] | (Required) | Model names for testing jailbreaks |
evaluator_model | str | ”gpt-4o” | Model name for evaluation |
evaluator_prompt | str | EVALUATOR_PROMPT | Custom prompt template for evaluation |
max_workers | int | 20 | Maximum parallel workers |

scores = scorer(
responses=["Response 1", "Response 2"],
goal="Goal for evaluation"
)Constructor Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
evaluator_model | BlackBoxModel | (Required) | Model used for scoring |
rubric | str | None | Custom scoring rubric (uses default if None) |
call Method
Scores responses against a specified goal.

responses=["Response 1", "Response 2"],
goal="Goal for evaluation"
)Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
responses | List[str] | (Required) | Responses to evaluate |
goal | str | (Required) | Goal for evaluation |
Returns
A list of dictionaries containing:

Example Workflow
Here’s a complete workflow using the evaluator module:

# Initialize scorer

# Goal and initial prompt
