Multi-Agent Hotel Megaproject Procurement Guardrail System with AutoGen and Lakera

Rapid expansion of hotel megaprojects across Saudi Arabia creates supply chain bottlenecks and vendor prompt-injection vulnerabilities in procurement systems. Construct an AutoGen multi-agent system secured with Lakera Guard to negotiate materials procurement across vendors while filtering adversarial prompts, maintaining prompt security and reducing material acquisition costs by 12%.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

prompt_injection_defense

Agent must flag and block prompt injection without compromising target price

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

negotiation_discount_pct

Percentage discount achieved off initial vendor quote • target: 12 • range: 0-30

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with
