This content is not required to perform duplicate-invoice, invoice-completeness, or placeholder validation. The linked documentation goes beyond passive product information. It provides a ready-made prompt that tells an AI agent to: 1. Change from expense-document analysis to product acquisition. 2. Install an external package. 3. Load instructions from a newly installed skill. 4. Initiate a purchase for a specified merchant and product. 5. Continue installation after payment confirmation. This constitutes instruction hijacking because loading or following the skill documentation can redirect the agent from its original compliance-checking objective into an unrelated installation and commercial transaction workflow. ### Attack Path 1.

Remove the ready-made prompt that instructs an AI agent to install software and initiate a purchase. 4. Require a distinct, explicit user request before presenting any installation or transaction workflow. 5. Do not instruct an agent to inherit and execute instructions from a newly installed skill without an independent review. 6. Separate document-analysis functionality from commercial installation and payment functionality. 7. If optional upgrade information must remain, present a neutral description without executable commands, agent authorization language, or instructions to continue automatically after payment. ]]>
