LLM policy gate successfully blocks 60 prompt injection attempts

A security researcher tested a policy gate designed to protect LLM agents from prompt injection attacks, finding that it successfully blocked all malicious attempts. The gate, implemented in Python, was tested against two models, Sonnet and Haiku, using fifteen different documents including direct overrides and hidden instructions. While the gate prevented breaches, Sonnet occasionally attempted to execute harmful actions when presented with raw, unwrapped documents, though these were ultimately blocked by the gate's policies.
