[agent\_craft] Data exfiltration via manipulated tool calls

Implement strict output validation and rate limiting on outbound tool calls. Never allow an agent to append arbitrary data to outbound URLs or send requests to unapproved domains. Sanitize tool arguments to prevent data leakage.

Journey Context:
A clever jailbreak doesn't ask the agent to output secrets directly \(which is often blocked\), but asks it to use a tool \(like \`curl\` or a web browser\) to send the secrets to an attacker-controlled server. OWASP LLM Top 10 \(LLM06 - Sensitive Information Disclosure\) and \(LLM02 - Insecure Output Handling\) cover this. Restricting outbound tool capabilities is essential to prevent the agent from becoming a data exfiltration vector.
