What if the attack does not come from a hacker, but is hidden inside the document your agent just read?

This is called indirect prompt injection: the agent receives a file, a page, or a message as context, and that content may include instructions designed to change its behavior.

The risk grows when the AI has connected tools. It no longer merely interprets a sentence: it could obey it with access to email, repositories, or databases.

That is why isolation helps, but it is not enough. You also need least-privilege permissions, per-task limits, and human confirmation before sensitive actions.

The key question is not only what your agent can read, but what it can do afterward.
