Your AI Agent Is Leaking Data Right Now — And Every Tool Call Looks Safe

Your AI Agent Is Leaking Data Right Now — And Every Tool Call Looks Safe

Short summary

SafetyDrift, an open-source tool based on recent research, detects multi-step attacks on AI agents that pass individual tool-call guardrails. It tracks data exposure, tool escalation, and reversibility across a session using Markov chain analysis, achieving 100% F1 on 200 synthetic traces with zero false positives. Ships as an MCP server for easy integration into Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI agent frameworks.

  • •SafetyDrift detects sequence attacks on AI agents that individual guardrails miss
  • •Uses Markov chain analysis to predict violation risk within 5 steps
  • •Integrates as MCP server with 100% F1 accuracy on attack/benign classification

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
