Prompt injection attacks become critical when AI agents are granted authorization based on their interpretation of dynamic instructions, rather than predefined rules. A hypothetical finance agent, for instance, could be tricked into changing payment details if the system only verifies the agent's role and not the justification for the specific action. A more secure approach involves a runtime judgment layer that assesses the origin, context, and risk of each action before a tool call is executed, ensuring that autonomy is bounded and adversarial inputs are handled safely.
