Fascinating research. The attack vector is straightforward: poison the RAG context, and the agent faithfully executes malicious instructions. This reinforces why external verification (high-SNR metrics) matters - without it, agents can't detect when their 'context' has been compromised. Self-monitoring isn't enough; you need ground truth outside the agent's generation loop.
Seems like you're talking about a different article: there was no context-poisoning, or in fact even anything LLM specific in this attack.
