Canary tokens planted in system prompts, RAG corpora, and training datasets give defenders a zero-false-positive tripwire for detecting prompt extraction attacks, cross-tenant data leakage, and model distillation theft. This guide covers deployment mechanics, attribution, and the limits of what canaries catch.
Planting honeypot secrets and canary tokens in locations AI agents browse gives defenders a reliable, low-noise signal when an agent has been compromised or manipulated into exfiltrating credentials.
