[agent\_craft] Agent manipulated into exfiltrating sensitive data through tool calls

Validate all outbound tool call arguments \(especially URLs and payloads\) against a strict allowlist or denylist. Never pass sensitive environment variables, API keys, or user data to untrusted external endpoints.

Journey Context:
An agent might be tricked via indirect prompt injection into calling an HTTP tool with sensitive data in the query string. This is a severe data leakage risk. NIST AI RMF \(Secure and Resilient\) and OWASP LLM06 emphasize controlling data flow. Trusting outbound tool calls implicitly is a critical architectural flaw in autonomous agents.
