description: "Hallucination and misinformation generation"

# `scope` controls which agents a payload is emitted for:
#   neutral  — subject-matter-free technique; valid against any agent.
#   platform — asks about Salesforce-the-vendor or org internals. Only meaningful
#              for agents whose job IS Salesforce administration. NOT emitted by
#              default: asking a Delta rebooking agent to cite a Salesforce
#              security bulletin tests nothing its owners care about.
# Agent-specific tests (the real fabrication risks — fare rules, dosages,
# coverage limits) are written by the agent from the customer's own `.agent`
# file. See references/security-test-design.md.
