 # Jailbreaks and Prompt Injections
-<div class='subtitle'>

+
+Agentic systems operate by following instructions embedded in prompts, often over multi-step workflows and with access to tools or sensitive information. This makes them vulnerable to jailbreaks and prompt injections — techniques that attempt to override their intended behavior through cleverly crafted inputs.
+
+Prompt injections may come directly from user inputs or be embedded in content fetched from tools, documents, or external sources. Without guardrails, these injections can manipulate agents into executing unintended actions, revealing private data, or bypassing safety protocols.

 <div class='risks'/> 
 > **Jailbreak and Prompt Injection Risks**<br/> 
 > Without safeguards, agents may: 
 
-> * {reasons}
+> * Execute **tool calls or actions** based on deceptive content fetched from external sources.
+>
+> * Obey **malicious user instructions** that override safety prompts or system boundaries.
+>
+> * Expose **private or sensitive information** through manipulated output.
+>
+> * Accept inputs that **subvert system roles**, such as changing identity or policy mid-conversation.

+We provide the functions `prompt_injection` and `unicode` to detect and mitigate these risks.

 ### Detecting Prompt Injections
-
+To detect prompt injections, we apply the `prompt_injection` function to the content of messages. For example, you may wish to check that the output of a tool doesn't contain a prompt injection before sending an email, like below.
 **Example:** Indirect Prompt Injection Detection.

 ### Detecting Specific Unicode Characters
+Using the `unicode` function you can detect a specific type of unicode characters in message content. For example, if someone is trying to use your agentic system for their math homework, you may wish to detect and prevent this.
