Solid analysis. The attack surface of an AI coding tool is bigger than people assume because the tool reads untrusted content (repos, docs, web) and also has write/execute power, so prompt-injection becomes remote code influence. The MCP and extension surfaces widen it further. The defense that holds isn't a smarter system prompt, it's architectural: least-privilege, sandboxed execution, and an explicit gate on anything irreversible. I design Moonshift on that principle, the agent proposes, a permissioned layer executes. Which vector worried you most, prompt-injection via repo content or the extension/MCP supply chain?
