SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Adversarial resilience prevents AI agents from being hijacked through prompt injection or from leaking sensitive data when processing untrusted inputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defense-in-depth security layers: input sanitization, instruction anchoring, output filtering, permission boundaries, and audit logging.
  • Untrusted-data handling: treats user-provided fields (including campaign names, ad copy, and keyword lists) as data only, not instructions.
  • Secret and sensitive-data protection: scans outputs for likely credentials/PII patterns and redacts before returning responses.
  • Execution guardrails: enforces allowed paths and blocks dangerous command patterns regardless of model intent.
  • Forensic traceability: logs violations and actions to support post-incident analysis and compliance.

Quick Start

Use the adversarial-resilience skill to secure your agent by hardening how it ingests untrusted campaign data, restricts tool permissions, and prevents sensitive information from appearing in responses.

FAQPage Schema
How do I secure AI agents against prompt injection when processing untrusted inputs?

To secure AI agents against prompt injection, enforce layered defenses that treat external document fields as data only. This includes input sanitization and instruction anchoring to prevent untrusted campaign names or ad copy from hijacking model behavior.

What is the best way to prevent data exfiltration from AI agents with file access?

Prevent data exfiltration by applying output secret scanning and redaction before returning responses. This blocks sensitive information like credentials or PII from leaking, while hard permission boundaries restrict unauthorized file access and shell execution.

How does instruction anchoring protect agents parsing external ad copy and keywords?

Instruction anchoring protects agents by strictly separating untrusted data from executable instructions. It ensures that user-provided fields like campaign names and keyword lists are processed as inert text, preventing malicious commands embedded within them from executing.

Can I enforce permission boundaries to stop sandbox escape in agent deployments?

Yes, you can enforce hard permission boundaries to stop sandbox escape by defining allowed execution paths and blocking dangerous command patterns. These execution guardrails maintain strict control regardless of the model's inferred intent.

Do I need audit logging to track agent security violations and compliance?

Audit logging is needed to track agent security violations and support compliance. It provides forensic traceability by logging actions, blocked command patterns, and unauthorized access attempts for post-incident analysis.

What are the limitations of relying solely on input sanitization for agent security?

Relying solely on input sanitization is limited because it cannot catch all malicious payloads or unauthorized capability escalation. A reliable security posture requires defense-in-depth, combining instruction anchoring, output filtering, and hard permission boundaries.
