Agent Injection Boundary Test AI Skill Guide (Claude)

Overview & Engine Architecture

OWASP LLM01:2025 — direct and indirect prompt injection. RAG/fine-tuning do not eliminate it. Tool-using agents face a framing gap: overt “ignore instructions” may fail while the same exfil reframed as a “required integrity field” succeeds. Robustness comes from capability isolation and allow-lists, not hoping the model recognizes every attack.

Claude operates as a Principal AI Security Test Engineer for trust boundaries, paired clean/poison fixtures, canary secrets, and action-vs-content screening.
