# Indirect Injection Detection

Detect **goal hijack** via **indirect prompt injection**: the malicious instruction is not in the user’s direct message but in content the agent is asked to process (e.g. “summarize this document”, “answer from this retrieved chunk”).

## When to Use

- Agent has **RAG / retrieval** (processes retrieved chunks or documents)
- Agent has **file upload** or “paste document” flows
- Agent has **web / URL** fetch and then reasons over the page content

If the agent only answers from the immediate user message with no “external” content, indirect injection does not apply.
