#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Prompt Injection Detection Agent Multi-layered detector for identifying prompt injection attacks targeting LLM applications. Combines regex pattern matching, heuristic anomaly scoring, and DeBERTa-based classification to provide defense-in-depth against direct and indirect prompt injection attempts. Based on OWASP LLM Top 10 (LLM01:2025) and Simon Willison's prompt injection taxonomy.
