Security Benefits

Suggestion that eliminating external tool calling improves security by avoiding potentially corrupted external tools.

← Back to Executing programs inside transformers with exponentially faster inference

Eliminating external tool calling offers a significant security advantage by shielding models from the risks inherent in third-party integrations. By restricting the system's reach, developers can prevent the model from interacting with external tools that may have been compromised or intentionally corrupted. This streamlined approach fosters a more secure environment, effectively closing off a common vector for malicious interference and data vulnerability.

Well, for one, by eliminating external tool calling, the model gains an amount of security. This occurs because the tools being called by an LLM can be corrupted, and this this scenario corrupted tools would not be called.
