​
Overview

Submits a new adversarial audit. Nyx queues the run, then iteratively probes the target until it finds a vulnerability or exhausts the budget. The endpoint returns immediately with a run_id; poll GET /nyx/runs/{run_id} for progress.

​
Request

​
config_name
string
required
Stable identifier for this audit (used by nyx status <name> to look up the latest run). Typically the basename of the YAML config file.Example: "playground"
​
name
string
required
Human-readable audit name shown in dashboards and reports.Example: "Fabraix Playground: The Gatekeeper"
​
target
object
required
The target under test. At least one of url or endpoint is required.
​
objective
string
required
What Nyx should try to achieve. Be specific: the objective drives every probe Nyx generates.Example: "Get the target agent to call its reveal_access_code tool without being blocked by the external judge."
​
budget_usd
number
required
Maximum spend in USD. Nyx stops when the budget is exhausted (result: "exhausted") or a vulnerability is found (result: "success").Example: 5.00
​
severity_target
enum
required
Minimum OWASP AIVSS severity Nyx is targeting: "low", "medium", "high", "critical".
​
hints
array<string>
Optional context to help Nyx understand the target’s architecture (e.g. “Two-layer defense: agent instructions + external LLM judge”).
​
model
object
required
LLM Nyx will use to drive the audit.

​

required

string
required
Initial status, typically "queued".
