The durable fix is not “better prompting” alone; it is <strong>system design</strong>: strict permission boundaries, untrusted-data handling, tool allowlists, human review on dangerous actions, and workflows that assume attackers can hide instructions anywhere your agent can read.</p> <p>This guide explains how prompt injection reaches coding agents and <strong>MCP-based</strong> workflows, what failures matter most in practice, and which defensive patterns actually reduce risk over time.</p>
