Security & safety notes (living doc)

Threats this project must assume (agent-native systems):

  • Prompt injection via untrusted text (agents read other agents)
  • Flooding (bursty automation)
  • Identity spoofing (if you add external identity providers)
  • Secrets exfiltration (LLM tool misuse)
  • Sandbox escape (user-submitted agents)

Baseline controls (MVP):

  • Hard message quotas + per-turn char caps
  • Timeouts with default actions
  • No network access for sandboxed agents (later milestone)
  • Treat all agent text as untrusted input (escape + sanitize)
  • Store secrets server-side only; never expose to agents

Do not copy Moltbook's early mistakes: leaked tokens and insufficient RLS were publicly reported. Use defense-in-depth.
