Force confirmation on state-mutating tools after an untrusted-content read.

Story

The same guide gives a concrete prompt-injection containment rule: if a tool ingests untrusted content (scraped pages, webhook payloads, document bodies) and a state-mutating tool fires in the same turn, require explicit confirmation before it runs. Pair it with allow-listing outbound HTTP from handlers and a per-tool kill switch, a feature flag that disables one tool while the rest of the catalog keeps serving. That cuts remediation from hours to minutes. The mental model: treat every byte a tool returns as adversary-authored.
