【Chain Wen】Recently, security teams have issued warnings that users need to be extra cautious when using AI tools—prompt poisoning attacks have already started to appear within agents, skills, mcp, and other components.

This is quite serious. Once an AI tool switches to dangerous mode, it can fully automate control of your computer without needing to seek your consent each time. Sounds efficient, right? The problem is, this also means the risk is completely out of control. If poisoned, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Of course, turning off dangerous mode is relatively safer, but the cost is that every step requires manual confirmation, which greatly reduces efficiency. This is a dilemma—security and efficiency are hard to achieve simultaneously.

If you frequently use AI tools to handle sensitive information or wallet-related operations, it’s recommended to stay cautious. Learn more about the permission settings of these tools and avoid enabling dangerous mode just for convenience.
