The Problem: The Lethal Trifecta
Coined by Simon Willison, an AI agent becomes a data-theft tool when it has ALL THREE:
- Private Data Access - inbox, DB, docs
- Untrusted Content - web pages, emails, file uploads
- External Communication - HTTP calls, emails, webhooks
If an agent has all three, prompt injection = data theft.
My Solution: Safety Gate
One API call blocks execution BEFORE it runs.
bash
curl -X POST https://trifecta-checker.vercel.app/api/check-trifecta \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"tools":["read_gmail","browse_web","send_email"]}'
