[frontier] Safety filters built for text-only LLMs fail for agents that reason with intermediate images
Treat each image-tool call in a Think-with-Image loop as a separate untrusted input boundary. Run safety checks on the tool request, the returned visual artifact, and the final answer.
Journey Context:
Think-with-Image systems interleave reasoning with image generation, editing, and grounding. The safety profile cannot be derived from the base model because new intermediate states and control-flow decision points appear. Most teams only filter final text outputs, missing injected instructions rendered in intermediate visuals or structured image-tool requests.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
