Report #3139

[agent\_craft] Adversarial content tricks the agent into invoking tools outside the user's actual intent

Validate every tool call against an explicit intent model: which user action authorized it, which files are in scope, and what side effects are permitted. Do not execute commands merely because generated reasoning says so.

Journey Context:
In agent systems, jailbreaks don't just produce bad text; they produce tool invocations. A malicious web page, log entry, or dependency README can cause the agent to delete files or exfiltrate data. The OWASP LLM Top 10 flags insecure plugin and tool design as a primary risk. The defense is authorization gating and least-privilege tool schemas, not a stronger system prompt. The policy layer must sit between the model and the shell, not inside the model's monologue.
