Understanding RAG: Static vs Agentic Systems

🍰 TL;DR: RAG is evolving from a simple Search-and-Summarize tool into an Agent that can plan, reason, use external tools, and self-correct. But this extra power introduces dangerous security risks like prompt injection and cascading errors.

🐞 Common Errors:
- Not considering the security risks of granting access to personal data / computers.
- Cascading prompt errors.
