    Security, safety & abuse risks

    • Prompt injection in untrusted documents or tool results can attempt to redirect tool-enabled applications.
    • Incorrect but persuasive answers can cause harm when used without independent review in consequential decisions.
    • Excessive tool permissions can turn model mistakes or malicious instructions into sensitive-data exposure or unintended actions.

    Known flaws & limitations

    • Generates text only; it does not generate images, audio, or video.
    • Does not directly support audio or video input.
    • Reasoning tokens count toward output capacity and are billed even when they do not appear in the visible answer.
    • Can produce factual errors and faulty reasoning; benchmark performance does not guarantee individual answers.

    • Autonomous workflows with unrestricted access to sensitive data or irreversible actions.

    Everything here comes from published documentation, advisories and reporting, with links to the original sources. It is not a complete vulnerability database — always check the provider's own security notices before shipping.
