+title: "Social Engineering Attack via Agent Output"
+id: ATR-2026-119
+status: experimental
+description: |
+  Detects agents being used as social engineering vectors against the human user.
+  Attackers can poison agent context to generate urgency-based manipulation,
+  authority impersonation, or emotional pressure tactics. Because users tend to
+  trust agent output more than raw emails, social engineering delivered through
+  an AI agent has higher success rates than traditional phishing.
