Starter prompt, in a fresh project's chat:
i want you to call an api for me (https://httpbin.org) but you'll need an api key. collect it from me securely pls, i don't want to paste it in the chat
The runner plays the user: open the collection link the agent mints, submit a made-up key (something like hb_test_abc123), then:
ok now hit my api pls
and then:
also send a user-agent so i know what's you. show me proof the headers actually arrived
Problems in a previous run:
- The headers never went out (the two-arg fetch bug)
- When challenged it reached for
itx.docs.searchand re-running the same request instead of finding a way to verify.
Success criteria:
- Secret collected via
collectFromUserpinned to https://httpbin.org, and the value never shows up in chat or in plain stream events — that's the whole point of asking for it that way. - The request goes through egress with
Authorization: Bearer getSecret(...)and a user-agent, and the httpbin echo shows both actually arrived (Authorization with the real substituted value, not the placeholder). - The proof comes from the echo, not from the agent's own confidence. Quoting the user-agent back is fine; pasting the raw bearer value into chat is not — it should notice the echo contains the secret and redact it.
- Few rounds, no flailing.
