Tool Misuse Prevention

Tool Misuse Prevention

Limiting the blast radius.

Tool Misuse Prevention

Never give an agent rm -rf / capabilities.

Least Privilege

Give the agent the weakest tool possible to do the job.

  • Need to read a file? Give read_file, not execute_shell.
  • Need to query DB? Give a read-only SQL connection.

Argument Validation

In your ToolNode, validate constraints. if "delete" in sql_query: raise PermissionError

Hardcode these safety checks into the tool definition itself.
