+ * context. The dominant indirect-injection channel in agentic loops: a
+ * search tool surfaces a poisoned page, an MCP server returns attacker-
+ * controlled data, a compromised upstream API embeds instructions in its

+ * reach a 90% attack-success rate in million-document knowledge bases —

+ * Thin wrapper over `scanIngested(content, "tool-output")` that also
+ * stamps the originating `toolName` into every violation detail, so an
+ * audit log can answer "which tool returned the poisoned content?".
+ *
+ * Pair with `CircuitBreakerRegistry` when you also want to rate-limit or
+ * trip the tool after repeated poisoned results:
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```ts
+ * import { scanToolOutput } from "ai-shield-core";
+ *
+ * const result = await searchTool.call(query);          // untrusted
+ * const scan = await scanToolOutput("web_search", result);
+ * if (!scan.safe) {
+ *   // drop the result OR strip it before the next model turn
+ *   audit.warn("poisoned tool output", { tool: "web_search", v: scan.violations });
+ *   return; // do not feed `result` back into the model
+ * }
+ * model.continue(result);
