Goal Hijacking Injection (GHI) attacks are completely undetectable without the defense mechanism (zero precision/recall), while Obvious Malicious Injection (OMI) attacks can be partially detected even without defense. The defense comes at the cost of 2.9% higher token usage and 23.9% longer response times.",
