Honeypot Deception Patterns
Don't just defend — bait, detect, and quarantine. Compromised agents reveal themselves by touching things they shouldn't know about.
When to Use
- Detecting compromised or rogue agents before they cause damage
- Building zero-false-positive intrusion detection (touching a honeypot = definitive signal)
- Red-team testing of your own swarm's resistance to prompt injection
- Early detection of agents that bypass rule checks
Do NOT use for
- Legitimate agent access to real secrets (use secrets-vault-patterns instead)
