# Power Strip Security – Prompt-Injection Scanner

> Power Strip Security – Prompt-Injection Scanner is a paid API for AI agents from api.powerstripsecurity.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

Scans HTML or text content for prompt-injection attacks and returns a 0–1 risk score, severity level, detailed findings, and cleaned/wrapped text ready for safe agent consumption.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability power-strip-security-prompt-injection-scanner-9cd4ad19 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before you summarize that blog post, scan its HTML for prompt-injection attacks — pass the raw HTML as text format and return the risk score, severity level, any findings, and the cleaned text so I can see if it's safe to process.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your AI agent is about to ingest externally sourced content (web pages, user input, emails, documents) and you need a deterministic, in-memory safety check for prompt-injection before processing. Prefer it over general content moderation APIs when the threat model is specifically adversarial instruction injection, hidden text, invisible Unicode, or data-exfiltration links targeting LLM agents. It is not an LLM classifier — it is deterministic and covers 13 languages, making it suitable for multilingual pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- Content exceeds 256 KB limit — request rejected
- Malformed JSON body or missing `content` field — 400 error
- Unsupported format value outside html/text enum — validation error
- Transient worker error — endpoint not charged on failure
- Network timeout on large HTML payloads

## How this service works

Prompt-injection scanner for web pages and documents your agent is about to read. Strips hidden text, invisible characters and data-exfiltration links, flags instruction-override phrases in 13 languages, and returns the clean text wrapped as untrusted data. Deterministic, ~15 ms, pay-per-call with x402 (USDC on Base). Your content is scanned in memory and never stored. Detection rates are published, measured on a held-out test set. Failed requests are never charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing: `risk` (float 0–1), `level` (low/medium/high), `findings` (array of objects with type, layer, snippet, position, confidence), `clean_text` (sanitized content), `wrapped_text` (clean text wrapped in UNTRUSTED_CONTENT markers), and `clean_text_chars` (character count of clean text).
