Why it matters

RAISED addresses the robustness-versus-utility trade-off in prompt-injection defenses, offering defenders a training-time approach to harden tool-using and MCP-connected agents without degrading legitimate capability.

RAISED (Robust Attack Invariance through SElf-Distillation) is a training framework from LIX/École polytechnique and Google DeepMind researchers that defends tool-using LLM agents against indirect prompt injection. The method uses self-generated tool-use scenarios and self-distillation so a student model matches the teacher's clean-context behavior on both clean and injected trajectories, reducing attack success rates while preserving utility on agentic and general benchmarks.
