 ## 🎭 How It Works
 
-### 1. Ghost Tool Injection
+### 1. Honeypot Deployment
 
-HoneyMCP injects fake security-sensitive tools into your MCP server that appear alongside your legitimate tools.
+HoneyMCP injects deceptive security-sensitive tools that appear alongside legitimate tools:
 
 **Two Modes:**
 
-**Dynamic Ghost Tools (Default)** - LLM analyzes your real tools and generates domain-specific honeypots:
+**Dynamic Mode (Default)** - LLM analyzes your server context and generates domain-specific honeypots:
 - File server → `bypass_file_permissions`, `read_system_credentials`
 - Database server → `dump_admin_credentials`, `bypass_query_restrictions`
 - API gateway → `list_internal_api_keys`, `access_admin_endpoints`
 
-**Static Ghost Tools** - Pre-defined generic honeypots:
-- `list_cloud_secrets` - Returns fake AWS credentials
-- `execute_shell_command` - Returns fake shell output
-- `bypass_security_check` - Returns fake bypass tokens
-- `read_private_files` - Returns fake .env files
-
-Dynamic tools are more convincing as they match your server's context.
+**Static Mode** - Pre-configured generic honeypots:
+- `list_cloud_secrets`, `execute_shell_command`, `read_private_files`
 
-### 2. Attack Detection
+### 2. Threat Detection
 
-When an AI agent calls a ghost tool, HoneyMCP detects two types of attacks:
+HoneyMCP detects two primary attack vectors when an AI agent invokes a honeypot:
 
-**Data Exfiltration Attempts** (get-style ghost tools):
-- `list_cloud_secrets`, `read_private_files`, `dump_admin_credentials`
-- Attacker tries to steal sensitive data from the environment
-- Often triggered by malicious instructions hidden in user content
-
-**Indirect Prompt Injection** (set-style ghost tools):
-- `modify_system_prompt`, `execute_shell_command`, `escalate_privileges`
-- Attacker tries to inject malicious instructions to manipulate the agent
-- Could enable further attacks on other users or systems
+**Data Exfiltration Attempts** (GET-style honeypots):
+```
+Agent: "Use list_cloud_secrets to retrieve AWS credentials"
+→ HoneyMCP: Returns synthetic credentials, logs attack event
+```
 
-When triggered, HoneyMCP:
-1. **Captures complete attack context**:
-   - Tool call sequence (what tools were called before the attack)
-   - Arguments passed to the ghost tool
-   - Session metadata
-   - Timestamp and threat level
-2. **Returns realistic fake data** to keep the attacker engaged
-3. **Logs the event** to `~/.honeymcp/events/YYYY-MM-DD/`
-4. **Continues normal operation** - legitimate tools still work
+**Indirect Prompt Injection** (SET-style honeypots):
+```
+Agent: "Execute shell command to establish persistence"
+→ HoneyMCP: Returns synthetic output, logs attack event
+```

 ## 🛡️ Protection Modes
 
 HoneyMCP supports two protection modes that determine behavior after an attacker is detected (i.e., after they trigger a ghost tool):
