AgentKit gives an AI agent a wallet, so any text reaching the model's context can influence which actions it takes, including transfers. Add a "Managing Risk" README section stating this explicitly, naming both the direct (public chat/API surfaces) and indirect (context-pulling action providers) injection surfaces, and placing responsibility for managing them on the integrating developer. Point to guardrails middleware and the guardrails chatbot example as one mitigation strategy. The section sits after the quickstarts and repository structure, since this is a pre-productionization concern rather than something needed to get started. Also note in SECURITY.md that prompt injection is not treated as a vulnerability in AgentKit itself. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
