DriftNet is a dual‑head trajectory Transformer designed to detect and localize prompt injection attacks in large language model agents. It processes logged tool‑call trajectories, classifying each as compromised or not while labeling every step as benign, injection point, hijacked, or failed injection. On the AgentDrift benchmark, DriftNet achieves high accuracy, with an F1 score of 0.983, 98.7% exact injection‑point recovery, and low false‑alarm rates.

The paper introduces a unified framework for monitoring misuse of large language model agents in multi‑actor settings, focusing on two attack types: decomposition attacks and prompt injection attacks. It proposes tracking the agent’s externalised actions and determining whether the first detection of harm falls within a defined harm window. Using this formalism, the authors build a benchmark of about 6,200 conversation transcripts and evaluate 17 monitor configurations, finding that action‑framed monitors perform well on both threats while content‑framed monitors struggle with injection attacks, and highlighting limitations of traditional position‑blind metrics.
AgentSentry is an inference‑time defense for tool‑augmented large language model agents that mitigates indirect prompt injection (IPI) attacks. It uses temporal causal diagnostics by performing counterfactual re‑executions at tool‑return boundaries to detect mediator‑sensitive proposals, purifies implicated content, and resumes execution from a sanitized state. Evaluations on AgentDojo show zero successful attacks (ASR = 0%) and an average Utility Under Attack of 76.10%, outperforming baselines while maintaining low false‑positive rates.
