Researchers have developed a new pre-deployment pipeline designed to prevent data leakage and tool misuse in agentic applications. This pipeline scans, hardens, and validates agentic systems by analyzing prompt templates, tool interfaces, and code to identify and patch vulnerabilities. The system prioritizes high-risk tools and applies minimally invasive mitigations like schema tightening and allowlist-based tool gating. Validation is performed through adversarial prompt injection attacks and benign input variations to ensure functionality is preserved. In evaluations on five real-world agentic applications and the AgentDojo benchmark, the pipeline successfully identified leakage patterns and generated patches that eliminated leaks under basic attacks and significantly reduced them under stress-induced manipulation.
