I think what we have to do is making each piece of context have a permission level. That context that contains our AWS key is not permitted to be used when calling evil.com webservices. Claude will look at all the permissions used to create the current context and it's about to call evil.com and it will say whoops, can't call evil.com, let me regenerate the context from any context I have that is ok to call evil.com with like the text of a wikipedia article or something like that.

But the LLM cannot be guaranteed to obey these rules.

The code that's assembling the context to send to the LLM and gating its access to tools can check these deterministically.
