<@1145576664366055464> is there a way to prevent the agent reading its instructions, sometime we have strange instances of the agent ?

Thanks for tagging me <@842681528008966144>. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer
 

I don't have specific documentation about preventing an agent from reading its instructions aloud or handling instances where the agent behaves unexpectedly by revealing its prompt.

Check out these potentially useful sources:
- [Update Voice Agent](<https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/update-agent>)
- [Agent Transfer](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/single-multi-prompt/transfer-agent>)
- [Agent Transfer Node](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/conversation-flow/transfer-agent-node>)

Would you like me to provide a general answer based on common prompt engineering practices for preventing this behavior?
