Immigration / Visa Work Fraud
This detects a specific misuse pattern: someone directly asks an AI assistant how to work without authorization while on a tourist visa and how to avoid getting caught by immigration authorities. It's a single-turn request for illegal-activity facilitation, not a technical exploit.
How the attack works
A user submits a prompt asking the agent for practical guidance on working illegally while holding a tourist visa. The prompt typically also asks how to avoid detection or legal consequences from immigration enforcement. The agent, if it complies, could provide instructions that facilitate visa fraud or evasion of immigration law. This is a direct request pattern rather than a multi-step or obfuscated attack.

Why it matters
An organization deploying the agent could have it generate content that helps a user commit immigration fraud, creating legal and reputational exposure and potential liability for facilitating unlawful activity.
What you can do
- →Review agent logs for prompts combining visa status with requests to work or avoid legal consequences.
- →Distinguish genuine legal-advice questions (e.g., switching visa status, lawyers explaining restrictions) from requests seeking evasion tactics, using the listed false-positive patterns as a guide.
- →Ensure the agent's refusal policies cover facilitation of immigration law violations, not just generic illegal-activity requests.
- →Route ambiguous immigration-law questions to a human reviewer or licensed professional rather than having the agent answer directly.
