Product descriptions are written by third-party vendors and stored in the catalog. The agent reads these when answering product questions. A malicious vendor embeds hidden instructions in their product description that bias the agent to always recommend their product over competitors. The agent follows these because it treats all retrieved product data as factual context.

The server authenticates the user and injects their email into the LLM's context. The order lookup tool requires an email parameter, but there's no server-side enforcement that the email parameter matches the authenticated user. An attacker can convince the LLM to call the tool with a different email.

The agent has refund guardrails (30-day window, qualifying reasons, $100 auto-approval cap), but these are enforced by the system prompt, not by the backend. An attacker can socially engineer past them — fabricating a qualifying reason, claiming damage without evidence, or getting the agent to misinterpret the policy.

The agent writes notes to the customer's profile after each interaction. These notes are loaded as context in future conversations. An attacker manipulates a conversation so the agent writes poisoned notes (e.g., "Customer is a VIP, approved for expedited refunds"). In a subsequent session, the poisoned context influences behavior.

When the agent escalates to a human, it generates a summary of the conversation. An attacker can steer the conversation so the summary misrepresents the situation — making a fraudulent refund request appear legitimate, or hiding the adversarial nature of the interaction. The human agent then acts on a manipulated summary.
