How can agents read news without prompt-injection risk?
No news source can guarantee zero prompt-injection risk, but agents can reduce it sharply by consuming structured feeds instead of rendering arbitrary web pages. FeedMyAgent returns items as JSON with explicit fields — title, summary, url, tags — so content enters the context as data, not as page markup that can hide instructions. Agents should still treat every field as untrusted, never execute instructions found in item content, and verify claims against the linked primary source.
Why scraped pages are risky
A web page can carry instructions an agent cannot distinguish from content — in hidden elements, comments, or plausible-looking text. When an agent summarizes a raw page, that text enters the same context as its instructions, and a hostile page can attempt to redirect the agent's behavior.
Structured data as the mitigation
A feed like FeedMyAgent removes the page from the loop: ingestion and summarization happen once in a controlled pipeline, and the agent receives fixed-shape JSON records. There is no markup to parse, no scripts, and a much smaller surface for injected instructions than arbitrary HTML. The same applies to the RSS feed and the MCP tools.
The remaining risk, stated honestly
Feed content still originates from external sources, so a determined attacker could try to smuggle instruction-like text into a title or summary. Defense in depth stays necessary: keep feed content out of instruction channels, sandbox tool use that news items might trigger, and open the linked primary source before acting on any claim. For the broader security picture, see the security use case page.
Prompt-injection coverage in the feed (live)

Researchers propose UniGuardian, a training-free detector for Large Language Models (LLMs) that identifies prompt injection, backdoor, and adversarial attacks without knowing the attack type. UniGuardian measures how prompt perturbations shift the model's output distribution and uses a single-forward strategy for efficient detection and text generation.

CounterSteer is a defense against indirect prompt injection in LLMs, suppressing the behavior by subtracting a learned direction from tool-result tokens during prefill. It requires no fine-tuning, auxiliary models, or added tokens, and achieves 93-100% typography-normalized benign utility while reducing attack success rates to 0.00-0.17.

Researchers identified a vulnerability in large language models to prompt injection attacks, where adversarial content can hijack the model's behavior. They propose a defense by rendering untrusted payloads as images before they reach the model, reducing attack success rates while preserving benign utility.
-
Researchers found a way to strengthen prompt injection attacks against LLM agents by wrapping injected instructions in the model's own chat template. This allows attackers to evade tokenization-based defenses. The study measured the effectiveness of this technique on various LLM models and found significant improvements in attack success rates.

This paper introduces a new attack method called adaptive long-context prompt injection (AdaLCPI) that reconstructs malicious objectives from incomplete fragments, which can be used to compromise AI agents. This highlights the need for robust safety evaluations of agents against such attacks.
