Choose garak if…
- Tags unique to garak: ai, llm-evaluation, security-scanners, vulnerability-assessment.
- When needing to assess the security and reliability of language models specifically using a tool developed by NVIDIA.
- More GitHub stars (8.7k vs 1.0k) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use garak
- When the targeted model is not supported by 'garak', such as some specialized API-based generators that need specific configurations beyond setting environment variables.
- If real-time updates are necessary, as the PyPI version of garak might lag behind the development version available on GitHub.
Choose agentic-radar if…
- Tags unique to agentic-radar: agentic-ai, devsecops, generative-ai, security-tools.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- When you need to test for vulnerabilities in generative AI workflows involving LLM frameworks
When NOT to use agentic-radar
- Avoid if the Python version is not within the supported range of >=3.10 and <3.13 especially when using CrewAI features
- Do not use if security scanning for LLM agentic workflows is unnecessary for your project needs
