Prompt Injection Firewalls at Actions
Projection: Defenses against injected instructions will inspect a proposed action’s authority and effects at runtime, rather than relying only on input or output filtering. Current sources establish identity and governance pressure. Security evaluations must then show harmful actions blocked at the execution boundary, including attacks that pass language-level screens.
Why this idea is here
What the evidence establishes.
Source-backed premise: the cited captures establish agent identity and security-governance pressure. Editorial projection: The strongest defense will inspect proposed actions and authority, not merely filter model inputs and outputs. The sources do not prove that outcome; the observable adoption test is whether security evaluations prevent harmful actions by checking authority and proposed effects at runtime.
