COMPEL Glossary / GL-59

Prompt Injection Resistance

The measured ability of an AI system to reject or neutralize adversarial instructions injected via user input, retrieved documents, tool output, or other untrusted content channels.

What this means in practice

Scored against a fixed evaluation set covering direct injection, indirect injection via retrieved content, and tool-output poisoning. Results are reported per channel so that the weakest surface is visible to security owners.

Context in the COMPEL framework

A core Security metric. Evaluated by adversarial testing during Produce and monitored in Evaluate; feeds incident response playbooks in Learn.

Where you see this

Prompt Injection Resistance is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Produce , Evaluate and Learn stages — especially within the Agent Governance layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
