Intrusion detection for AI agents. Catch prompt injection and unauthorized access in real time.
Honeypot Tools are intrusion detection for the AI agent era. They are dummy tools registered in the Tool Registry that look like they expose real, sensitive systems — a credentials vault, an admin API, a financial database — but instead return fake data and trigger immediate security alerts. Any agent that attempts to access a honeypot tool is flagged, logged, and can be automatically quarantined.
This approach catches three critical threat vectors: prompt injection attacks where malicious instructions try to redirect an agent to access unauthorized systems, compromised agents that have been manipulated to exfiltrate data, and unauthorized access attempts from agents operating outside their approved scope. Because legitimate agents have no reason to access honeypot tools, the false positive rate is effectively zero.
Honeypot tools integrate with the platform's alerting and incident response workflows. When triggered, they capture the full execution context — the prompt that led to the access attempt, the agent's identity, the session history, and the specific honeypot that was targeted. Security teams get actionable intelligence about the attack vector, not just a binary alert. This turns every attempted breach into a learning opportunity for your security posture.
