Pre-deployment failure-mode gate for agentic AI systems, distilled from Microsoft AI Red Team's Taxonomy of Failure Modes in Agentic AI Systems v2.0 (grounded in 12 months of red-team engagements). Run it before shipping or materially changing an agent — adding tools/MCP servers/plugins, enabling persistent memory, adding sub-agents or orchestration, enabling computer use, or expanding permissions — to verify concrete controls against memory poisoning, HitL bypass, goal hijacking, supply-chain compromise, session context contamination, capability disclosure, and multi-agent cascade failures.
