Proposing Scope Integrity as an Agent Safety Objective
Hollow_Prophecy · reddit · 2026-07-07
The author proposes an emerging agent safety objective—"Scope integrity", defined as maintaining the authorization constraint field under pressure from external, retrieval, adversarial, salient interference, or poisoned inputs. Broader than prompt injection defense, it also covers salient but non-malicious interference, excessive validation, state forgery, and tool capability drift. It emphasizes that an agent must not allow external inputs to redefine the task, available tools, success criteria, or state truth.
