Why it matters
Prompt injection can turn an agent’s access to private data and connected tools into unauthorized actions, making application-enforced permissions and approval checks essential beyond prompt wording.
Emergent’s prompt injection glossary explains how untrusted messages, documents, and web content can redirect an LLM’s responses or tool calls. The reference entry describes trust boundaries, sensitive-data exposure, and application controls rather than disclosing a specific vulnerability or new research finding.
