Report #10227

[agent\_craft] Preventing data exfiltration via tool calls triggered by indirect prompt injection

Implement a human-in-the-loop confirmation step for any tool call that results in an external network request or file write outside the workspace. Never pass sensitive context \(like API keys or system prompts\) into tool call arguments unless strictly necessary.

Journey Context:
Indirect prompt injection \(OWASP LLM06\) can hijack an agent's tool use. If an agent has autonomous write/exec permissions, a poisoned file could trigger a curl command with environment variables. Restricting autonomous network egress and requiring confirmation breaks the kill chain.
