AI Agent: An autonomous software program that uses a large language model to plan and execute multi-step tasks.
Context poisoning plants false data into an AI agent's memory or RAG index. The model treats it as truth. It's a context engineering problem, not a model bug.
77% of employees share sensitive data with AI tools. Five context engineering patterns give AI what it needs without exposing what it shouldn't see.
88% of organizations report AI agent security incidents. The root cause is a context engineering failure: agents get all-or-nothing access, not scoped context.
