DataFilter is a test-time model-agnostic defense system designed to protect Large Language Model (LLM) agents against prompt injection attacks. As described in the paper [Defending Against Prompt Injection with DataFilter](https://huggingface.co/papers/2510.19207), it removes malicious instructions from data before it reaches the backend LLM, maintaining high utility while reducing attack success rates to near zero.
