## How HiddenLayer protects agentic systems in real time

### Indirect Prompt Injection Detection
Identify and block prompt injection hidden inside data, documents, MCP responses, or retrieved context before it impacts agent execution.

### Memory and Context Safety
Detect unsafe memory recall, cross agent contamination, and exposed sensitive data before it becomes an instruction.

### Tool Use and Action Inspection
Monitor agent actions and enforce runtime policy across APIs, MCP tools, code execution, communication tools, and filesystem operations.

### MCP and Agentic Framework Traffic Inspection
Gain runtime visibility into agent behavior, reconstruct execution across sessions, and investigate activity across tools and workflows using LiteLLM proxy interception, SDK instrumentation, and gateway inspection.

### Stop hidden prompt injections
Block indirect or covert injections originating from untrusted data.

### Prevent unsafe autonomous actions
Ensure tool use, API calls, and multi step plans stay within approved guardrails.

### Protect sensitive data
Detect and restrict leakage or memory corruption across agent workflows.

### Gain visibility into agent behavior
Provide runtime visibility into complex multi-step agent workflows and reconstruct agent activity across tools and systems

### Secure emerging agent ecosystems
Support for leading frameworks including OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, and MCP based systems.

> "One of the elements that impresses me about HiddenLayer is the elegance of their technology. Their non-invasive AIDR solution provides robust, real-time protection against adversarial attacks without ever needing to access a customer's sensitive data or proprietary models. This is a game-changer for enterprises in regulated industries like finance and healthcare, as well as federal agencies, where data privacy is paramount."
