# 1. Say we are building an agent with dangerous access to our accounting system, which
# will process inbound invoice PDFs. The PDFs will be an attach vector, containing injection attacks.
# We defend against this by making every text field from the invoice an "opaque" value 
# Lets define some tools that lets the agent work with the invoice data.

# We can define functions that become callable in the agents Starlark scripts as mostly normal python functions.
# The type signature, name and docstring become available in the system prompt.

# 2. Now a utility that lets the agent act on the data

# The agent can pass the opaque values around, and is allowed to give them as input to tools that explicitly
# declare they accept these sensitive values; some tools can help the LLM understand the value without needing
# to see it.

    about dangerous values, but also in branching statements etc in your Starlark scripts to reduce
