Input and Output Validation for AI Agent Components - AI Mitigation

Implement validation on inputs and outputs for the tools and data sources used by AI agents. Validation includes enforcing a common data format, schema validation, checks for sensitive or prohibited information leakage, and data sanitization to remove potential injections or unsafe code. Input and output validation can help prevent compromises from spreading in AI-enabled systems and can help secure the workflow w...

Control summary

What this defense is meant to help prevent.

Implement validation on inputs and outputs for the tools and data sources used by AI agents. Validation includes enforcing a common data format, schema validation, checks for sensitive or prohibited information leakage, and data sanitization to remove potential injections or unsafe code. Input and output validation can help prevent compromises from spreading in AI-enabled systems and can help secure the workflow when multiple components are chained together. Validation should be performed external to the AI agent.
