The original title is: "L1.9: A prompt injection defense layer for MCP-based AI agents with 28 detection rules"
Original: L1.9: I built a prompt injection firewall for AI agents (28 detection rules)
Short summary
L1.9 is a prompt injection defense layer that scans MCP server tool descriptions, system prompts, and skill metadata against 28 detection rules before an agent installs a skill. Rules cover override commands, role-change attempts, data exfiltration instructions, and conditional activation patterns. Findings are scored by severity (critical/high/medium) and quarantined when thresholds are exceeded. The tool is part of a 10-layer security stack from AliceLabs LLC.
