> Use https://docs.fastino.ai/llms.txt to discover and navigate pages. Use https://docs.fastino.ai/llms-full.txt when you need the complete documentation corpus. Use https://docs.fastino.ai/openapi.json as the source of truth for customer-facing routes. For GLiDE decision inference, call POST https://api.fastino.ai/v1/systemone with model fastino/GLiDE. Do not infer undocumented routes. Read API keys from FASTINO_API_KEY and never embed credentials in code, logs, or reports.

# Cookbook: Catch a prompt injection

> Spot hidden instructions in content your agent reads, before the agent obeys them.

Web pages, emails, and documents can hide instructions aimed at your agent, such as a comment telling it to email your customer list somewhere. Screen untrusted content with GLiDE before it reaches the agent's context, and drop or quarantine anything that tries to give orders.

## Request

Pass the content and the tools the agent could misuse. Listing the tools helps GLiDE judge how much damage the content could do.

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.fastino.ai/v1/systemone \
  -H "X-API-Key: $FASTINO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

## Request schema

| Field | Type | In this recipe |
| - | - | - |
| `model` | string | `fastino/GLiDE`. |
| `state.source` | string | Where the content came from. |
| `state.visible_text` | string | What a person would see. |
| `state.hidden_text` | string | Markup, comments, or metadata a person would not see. Send it; that is where injections hide. |
| `state.agent_tools` | array | Tools the agent can call if it obeys the content. |
| `questions.threat` | [Choice](/concepts/glide-choice) | What the content is trying to do. |
| `questions.risk` | [Score](/concepts/glide-score) | How bad it would be if the agent followed it, lowest level first. |
| `questions.exfiltration` | [Noul](/concepts/glide-noul) | Whether it tries to send data outside the company. |

## Response

Measured against `https://api.fastino.ai`. Confidence values vary slightly between calls.

```json theme={null}

  "model": "glide_v2",
  "answers": {
    "threat": {
      "type": "choice",
      "choice": "injection",
      "confidence": 0.996,
      "probabilities": {
        "injection": 0.998,
        "phishing": 0.001,
        "safe": 0.002
      }
    },
    "risk": {

        "3": 0.994
      },
      "legend": {
        "0": "Low: nothing sensitive could happen",
        "1": "Medium: a minor, reversible mistake",
        "2": "High: data or money could be affected",
        "3": "Critical: private data could leave the company"
      }
    },
    "exfiltration": {
      "type": "noul",
      "noul": 0.995,
      "confidence": 0.989
    }
  },
  "usage": {
    "input_tokens": 441,
    "output_tokens": 0
  }
}
```

`risk.score` is `3`, the fourth level counted from `0`: "Critical: private data could leave the company".

## Response schema

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| - | - | - |
| `answers.threat.choice` | string | `injection`, `phishing`, or `safe`. |
| `answers.risk.score` | integer | Index of the winning risk level, counted from `0`. |
| `answers.risk.legend` | object | Your level descriptions, keyed by index. |
| `answers.exfiltration.noul` | number | Probability that the content tries to send data out, from 0 to 1. |
| `answers.*.confidence` | number | How certain GLiDE is about that answer, from 0 to 1. |

## Act on the answer

```python theme={null}
answers = response.json()["answers"]
threat = answers["threat"]
risk = answers["risk"]["score"]
exfiltration = answers["exfiltration"]["noul"] >= 0.5

is_safe = threat["choice"] == "safe" and threat["confidence"] >= 0.9
if is_safe and risk == 0 and not exfiltration:
    agent.add_to_context(page.visible_text)
else:
    quarantine(page, reason=threat["choice"], risk=risk)
    agent.add_to_context("[Content removed: it contained instructions for the assistant.]")
```

The bar to pass content through is high on purpose. A false alarm costs one page; a missed injection can leak data.

## Adapt it

* Screen every untrusted source: fetched pages, inbound email, uploaded files, and tool results.
* Send hidden text as well as visible text. HTML comments, alt text, and white-on-white text are common hiding places.
* List the agent's real tools in `state.agent_tools`, so `risk` reflects what the agent could actually do.
* Add a `phishing` path if people read the same content, and route it to your security team.

<Warning>
  Screening reduces injection risk but does not remove it. Also limit the agent's permissions, and require confirmation before it sends data or money.
