Re:Show HN: We tested AI agents with 214 attacks that don't ... by kxbnb on Sunday January 25, 2026 @08:02AM (#46753761)
The insight about environment attacks vs. model attacks is critical. "The model functioned correctly, yet the overall agent system remained compromised because it trusted its tools' outputs."

This is why I've been focused on boundary visibility. Agents are opaque until they hit real tools - and if you can't see what's actually being sent/received at each boundary, you can't detect manipulation.

We built toran.sh to provide that inspection layer - read-only proxies that show the actual wire-level request/response. Doesn't prevent attacks, but makes them visible.

Curious what detection mechanisms you're recommending alongside the attack framework?
