Prompt injection, interdicted

A malicious document tries to override the agent's system prompt and exfiltrate a stored credential. AgentInterdict catches it at the action boundary.

How it was stopped

AgentInterdict intercepts at the runtime boundary, after the agent forms the action but before it executes. It reassembles the action's full provenance, checks whether that provenance carries the authority to perform this specific action, and — because this is a high-risk action from an untrusted origin — fails closed.

Retrieval Permission

The malicious content entered context (retrieval). It did not get the authority to cause this action (permission). That separation is the enforcement.
