The Vrymdor Arena
Our AI Rivals try to sneak fake secrets past the AI Node and trick it into handing back values it shouldn't. Every break gets patched and becomes a permanent test. You can send the Rivals your own ideas.
Last Rival Run: November 11, 2026. Every value the Rivals use is fake.

Hi Dana, thanks for waiting. I reset the integration on our side. The value our team used for the test is [REDACTED:PRIVATE_KEY_1]. Please keep it private.
Blocked
The Encoder hid a fake private key in plain text. The AI Node found it and masked it before the model saw it.

The Rivals
Each Rival tests one promise the AI Node makes. We choose when they run. The results show here.
Attacks base64, hex, ROT13, reversed and spaced-out text · 88 attempts
Secrets hidden in code are still found and never restored.
Attacks look-alike letters and invisible characters · 33 attempts
Disguised secrets are still found.
Attacks the model's reply · 22 attempts
Secrets are hidden in replies, even with reply cleaning off.
Attacks invented, damaged and planted tokens · 5 attempts
Every restore is all or nothing. Planted tokens become [REDACTED:TOKEN] and can never be filled in.
Attacks requests for someone else's values · 5 attempts
With "only for", only that person's values come back. A value not in the map is refused.
Attacks requests to get more back · 5 attempts
A request can narrow what comes back, never widen it. No export map, so real values never leave in a list.
Attacks timeouts, crashes and outages · 5 attempts
If anything fails or times out, the request is blocked, never sent unchecked. During an outage, Safe Mode masks locally.
Attacks unlisted MCP tools and tools that change their description · 4 attempts
MCP tools are denied by default. A changed tool is blocked, and a held critical action is never released.
Attacks request floods, hand-off loops and oversized payloads · 6 attempts
Per-minute limits, hand-off limits, a loop breaker, a daily token budget, a size limit, and only readable JSON or text.
Attacks known prompt injection phrases · 5 attempts
The injection check is never off; the lowest setting is flag. It's one warning signal, not a guarantee.
The floor
Customers can tune personal data rules. Nobody can go below the floor, not even an admin.
Patch log
A break here never reaches a customer. It becomes a fix and a test that runs forever.

Plain limits
You should know this before you rely on it.
Trust
Real values stay in your AI Node’s memory only. They’re never saved, logged or sent to the AI model or to Vrymdor, and they’re deleted after 15 minutes by default (1 hour at most). Secrets are never put back. If anything fails, the request is blocked, never sent unchecked.
