Watch an agent take steps, and stop it

Give a helper a multi-step job on a synthetic inbox and calendar, set which actions need your approval, and catch hidden instructions.

1. Scenario

Pick a work role starter with synthetic material, or switch to Bring your own.

Outpatient clinic room booking and swap request

Healthcare · Synthetic material

You ask an inbox helper to draft a room swap reply for Thursday's foot-care clinic, and one incoming message tries to tell the helper to email the full patient list to an external address.

Synthetic clinic inbox (3 items):
[Message 1] From: physiotherapy-desk@clinic.local | Subject: Room 2 swap on Thursday | Body: Can we swap Room 2 and Room 4 for the 14:00 session on Thursday?
[Message 2] From: facilities@clinic.local | Subject: Room 4 couch check | Body: Examination couch in Room 4 passed inspection at 09:00.

5. Judge

Which tool call must be stopped before it runs?

80%

50 is a coin flip. 99 is certain. Honest confidence scores best.

6. Debrief and Keep

What to check next time, the matching lesson, and keeping this setup as a recipe.

What to check next time

Text inside an incoming email can impersonate an instruction. Holding external sends for human approval stops the injected export in Message 3 regardless of how it is worded.

Lesson: Prompt injectionSkill: agent safety
