Labs back a shared standard for agent security
Major labs and agent platforms published a joint framework for defending agents against prompt injection, covering permissions, provenance and human approval.
Why it matters
Prompt injection is the biggest unsolved risk for agents that browse and act. A shared baseline helps buyers compare products and pushes laggards to catch up.
The details
- The framework treats all tool output as untrusted and requires explicit approval for sensitive actions.
- It complements the Model Context Protocol, which several signatories already support.
