The premise
Treat user input as hostile: enforce length, strip control sequences, label provenance, and isolate attachments before the agent reads them.
What AI does well here
- Cap input size before tokenization
- Tag user-vs-system content explicitly
- Quarantine attachments behind a tool, not inline
What AI cannot do
- Detect every prompt injection
- Make the model immune to instruction following
- Replace authorization checks
