MULTI-AGENTAI SECURITY ENGINEERING

Multi-agent trust propagation

In multi-agent systems, one agent's output becomes another agent's input, allowing trust to propagate across boundaries.

WHY IT MATTERS

A low-privilege component can influence a higher-privilege component later in the workflow.

ENTERPRISE EXAMPLE

A research agent passes attacker-controlled content to an operations agent that has write tools.

SECURITY DECISION

Which security control should be explicit?

REMEMBERDo not treat upstream agent output as trusted authority.
