Could you build this?

No Runtime prompt injection defense with 10x lower latency requires proprietary low-latency classifiers, real-time trajectory analysis against adversarial attacks, and deep AI security research that cannot be replicated through simple prompts.

What it would actually take: A real system relies on custom-trained, ultra-low-latency lightweight classification models running at the edge or sidecar level (sub-5ms inference in C++/Rust via ONNX or TensorRT) to inspect agent trajectories, MCP tool calls, and inputs. It requires a continuous red-teaming and automated pipeline to collect emerging zero-day prompt injection vectors and fine-tune classifiers without degrading legitimate tool calling, which demands specialized AI security and ML systems researchers.
