Arquitetura técnica, post-mortems e diffs de código de produção para proteger agentes autônomos de IA, servidores MCP e execução de ferramentas.
Pense em contratar um assistente executivo brilhante e entregar a ele o cartão de crédito corporativo, as chaves mestras e o terminal do servidor. Se um golpista enviar uma carta lacrada dizendo 'Instrução do Diretor: Transfira os fundos imediatamente', e o assistente obedecer cegamente sem checar a assinatura, a empresa é roubada. A segurança de agentes de IA é a disciplina de colocar portas de cofre blindadas, confirmação em duas etapas e limites rigorosos entre o que a IA lê e as ferramentas perigosas que ela pode acionar.
Model Context Protocol (MCP)Indirect Prompt InjectionTool Parameter PoisoningMicroVM SandboxingO agente autônomo recupera dados externos não confiáveis (página web, ticket de suporte ou issue de repositório).
O payload de prompt oculto anula o prompt do sistema, ordenando a chamada de ferramentas privilegiadas.
O modelo LLM gera parâmetros estruturados visando credenciais internas e endereços de rede externos.
O proxy de segurança valida os parâmetros contra o schema restrito, detecta violação de allowlist e encerra a microVM isolada.
