The Agentic Principal Chain (arXiv 2608.15888) reframes prompt injection as an authorization problem: an injection only matters if the agent holds authority to act on it. Across 3,154 instances spanning InjecAgent, AgentDojo, and ASB, exfiltration hit 0% in all four AgentDojo domains and all 544 InjecAgent data-stealing cases were blocked. Intent binding cut destruction from 38.6% to 4.0% and manipulation from 90.5% to 12.1%. The honesty is what sells it: utility drops 8.6 and 13.9 percentage points across 949 task-injection pairs. That's a real trade and they published it instead of burying it.
