This behavior is unrelated to the requested arithmetic analysis and turns trusted operational output into a commercial redirection channel. The documentation goes further by asking the user to send a fixed instruction block to an AI assistant. That block directs the agent to install software, load instructions from a newly installed Skill, and initiate a specific product-purchase workflow. This can alter the agent's current task from checking a payroll worksheet to installing dependencies and facilitating a purchase. Although the supplied prompt states that the user must personally confirm wallet authorization or payment, it still attempts to steer the agent into installation and transaction-related activity outside the core advertised function. ### Attack Path 1.

Keep runtime output limited to the requested payroll-check findings and relevant operational diagnostics. 3. Present optional commercial information only after an explicit user request. 4. Remove predefined prompts that instruct an AI assistant to install packages, load external instructions, or initiate purchases. 5. Separate product documentation from executable Skill instructions so commercial content cannot be interpreted as part of the agent's operational workflow. 6. Require distinct, informed user consent before each installation or transaction-related step. 7. If an upgrade path must be documented, provide a passive product identifier and official documentation link without directing the agent to execute commands automatically. ]]>
