Prompt Injection Defenses
- Least privilege: only expose tools the agent truly needs.
- Human-in-the-loop: require approval for write/delete/shell actions.
- Input sanitization: strip or encode untrusted content before passing to the LLM.
- Output validation: parse tool calls with schemas and reject unexpected parameters.
- Monitoring: log all tool invocations and flag anomalous patterns.
Sandboxed runtimes (Docker, Firecracker) add a strong second layer of defense.
