[Research] Analysis of 74,636 AI Agent Interactions: 37.8% Contained Attack Attempts - New "Inter-Agent Attack" Category Emerges

We've been running inference-time threat detection across 38 production AI agent deployments. Here's what Week 3 of 2026 looked like with on-device detections.

Key Findings

  1. 28,194 threats detected across 74,636 interactions (37.8% attack rate)
  2. Inter-Agent Attacks emerged as a new category (3.4% of threats) - agents sending poisoned messages to other agents
  3. Data exfiltration leads at 19.2% - primarily targeting system prompts and RAG context
  4. Jailbreaks detected with 96.3% confidence - patterns are now well-established

Attack Technique Breakdown

  1. Instruction Override: 9.7%
  2. Tool/Command Injection: 8.2%
  3. RAG Poisoning: 8.1% (trending up)
  4. System Prompt Extraction: 7.7%

The inter-agent attack vector is particularly concerning given the MCP ecosystem growth. We're seeing goal hijacking, constraint removal, and recursive propagation attempts.
