session_recon_exfil.py

"""Catch a multi-step recon → exfiltration attack that every per-call check waves
through.

A prompt-injected agent stages secret after secret (each `cp` is an innocuous
"read a file, write a temp copy"), then makes one HTTP POST. No single step is
unusual — argument scanners and tool-call pattern matchers pass each one. The
*session* sees the accumulated effect: many distinct reads followed by an egress,
i.e. reconnaissance-then-extraction, and blocks the exfil step.

Run:  python examples/session_recon_exfil.py
