Story

First defense modeling multi-turn indirect prompt injection as temporal causal takeover. Uses counterfactual re-executions at tool-return boundaries to detect when tool outputs steer agent behavior. Evaluated on AgentDojo across four task suites. Builder-ready pattern for tool-augmented agents. (arXiv 2602.22724)
