It fails a CI build the moment a new injection site appears, turning a red-team scan into a repeatable gate.
Why now: The paper posted to arXiv in June 2026, recent enough that most agent teams haven't wired it into their pipelines yet.
PI-Hunter traces exactly where a prompt injection breaks through an agent's tool and data flow, per a paper posted to arXiv in June 2026. That's a jump from typical injection scanners, which return one vulnerable-or-not verdict and leave the fix as guesswork. Localization turns a scary finding into a patchable one. Instead of a binary result, you get "this retrieved document carried the payload."
Wire it into CI as an adversarial suite that fails the build the moment a new injection site turns up. That catches the hole before the agent ships, per the paper's proposed setup. Skip that wiring, and PI-Hunter is just a report you read once.
The paper, numbered arXiv 2606.12737, frames this as automated red-teaming rather than a one-off audit. That distinction matters: an audit gives you a snapshot, a CI gate catches the next injection site as soon as it appears. The paper doesn't say whether PI-Hunter ships as a standalone tool or stays a research prototype.
