Before Agent Tells The Lie: Has Deception Already Been Represented?
Xinling Li, Dadi Guo, Qingyu Liu +5
Large language model (LLM)-based agents can exhibit deceptive behavior during task execution, including hiding failures, fabricating results, or falsely signaling task completion.…
: An End-to-End Agent Auditing Engine
Haoning Wang, Mingxun Zhang, Chenyue Yu +5
With the rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs), harnesses have become essential infrastructure for deploying agents across a wide range of domains. The fast-evolving ha…
Graph Engineering in the Era of LLM Agents: From Individual Intelligence to System Intelligence
Yuyuan Feng, Zhishang Xiang, Chaobin Yang +32
LLMs have evolved from language generators to autonomous agents capable of complex, long-horizon tasks. This evolution has produced paradigms including Prompt Engineering to elicit…
ClawSentry: A Progressive Multi-Tier Security Monitor for Safeguarding Autonomous LLM Agents
Kai Wang, Zeming Wei, BiaoJie Zeng +7
As large language model (LLM) agents move from conversation to executing code, reading local files, and orchestrating external tools, a single agent hijacked by a malicious third-p…
Do LLMs Know Their Vulnerable Scenarios?
Ziheng Peng, Huiqi Deng, Haoran Jing +5
Safety-aligned large language models are trained to refuse harmful requests, yet embedding the same requests in particular scenarios can bypass their safeguards. Existing red-teami…
Agent Skills Matter: Inferring Proprietary Skills from Execution Trajectories
Jianing Geng, Ruiqi He, Zekun Fei +6
Agent skills package reusable procedures that improve downstream performance. Their lightweight, portable form enables marketplace monetization and private deployment behind cloud-…
Privacy-Preserving Text Sanitization for Distributed Agents Collaboration via Disentangled Representations
Xuan Liu, Hefeng Zhou, Sicheng Chen +6
When distributed agents exchange text across organizational boundaries, privacy leakage arises not only from explicit identifiers but also from distributional signatures such as fo…
PrivacyPeek: Auditing What LLM-Based Agents Acquire, Not Just What They Say
Mingxuan Zhang, Jiahui Han, Dadi Guo +5
LLM-based agents are rapidly advancing, autonomously invoking external tools to complete multi-step tasks for users. However, agents often acquire more sensitive information than t…
COLLEAGUE.SKILL: Automated AI Skill Generation via Expert Knowledge Distillation
Tianyi Zhou, Dongrui Liu, Leitao Yuan +2
LLM agents are increasingly expected not only to complete isolated tasks, but also to carry bounded representations of human expertise, judgment, and interaction style. Building su…
AgentSchool: An LLM-Powered Multi-Agent Simulation for Education
Yulei Ye, Wenhao Li, Zhong Wen +23
Despite the rapid deployment of LLMs into classrooms, validating educational AI remains uniquely intractable: interventions act on developing learners whose cognitive and social tr…
AgentDoG 1.5: A Lightweight and Scalable Alignment Framework for AI Agent Safety and Security
Dongrui Liu, Yu Li, Zhonghao Yang +47
Modern open-world agents such as OpenClaw exhibit powerful cross-environment execution capabilities yet introduce broad new safety risk sources. Meanwhile, advanced frontier AI mod…
TrinityGuard: A Unified Framework for Safeguarding Multi-Agent Systems
Kai Wang, Biaojie Zeng, Zeming Wei +7
With the rapid development of LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS), their significant safety and security concerns have emerged, which introduce novel risks going beyond single agen…
Interpreting Emergent Extreme Events in Multi-Agent Systems
Ling Tang, Jilin Mei, Dongrui Liu +4
Large language model-powered multi-agent systems have emerged as powerful tools for simulating complex human-like systems. The interactions within these systems often lead to extre…
The Why Behind the Action: Unveiling Internal Drivers via Agentic Attribution
Chen Qian, Peng Wang, Dongrui Liu +10
Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents are widely used in real-world applications such as customer service, web navigation, and software engineering. As these systems become more…
Epistemic Traps: Rational Misalignment Driven by Model Misspecification
Xingcheng Xu, Jingjing Qu, Qiaosheng Zhang +4
The rapid deployment of Large Language Models and AI agents across critical societal and technical domains is hindered by persistent behavioral pathologies including sycophancy, ha…
Are Your Agents Upward Deceivers?
Dadi Guo, Qingyu Liu, Dongrui Liu +13
Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents are increasingly used as autonomous subordinates that carry out tasks for users. This raises the question of whether they may also engage in…
