[exit]

the point is that introducing data from a foreign source could lead to e.g. exfiltration:

the model retrieves https://somewhere into its context and then gets confused, following instructions embedded there.

it then retrieves https://somewhere?exfiltration=private_data_in_context

it gets worse if the tooling with hidden blocks can invoke can retrieve further secrets.

[_alternator_]

If data exfiltration is a danger in your threat model, you need local LLMs (or at least ones you fully control) not just the full chain-of-thought reasoning.
