MAS-Guard is a unified framework designed to safeguard both single- and multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems. It introduces a local Agent Guardrail (A-Guard) layer that uses task-specific experts to evaluate agentic events, and a system-level Control Plane that applies deterministic structural checks and semantic assessments to routes, capabilities, and message content. The framework enforces interventions—allow, reflection, confirmation, and block—across benchmarks, reducing attack success rates by 71.5‑86.3% while maintaining utility on benign tasks.

MAADBench is a refreshable benchmark for anomaly detection in multi‑agent systems powered by large language models. It addresses the challenge of keeping benchmarks current by sampling and coupling generative tasks, generating trace data under configurable LLM backbones, and automatically providing deterministic step‑level labels. The authors evaluated 25 anomaly‑detection methods on 5,200 labeled traces, finding that existing approaches depend heavily on supervision, struggle with subtle MAS‑specific anomalies, and lack robustness across different LLM backbones.

ActGov is a runtime enforcement framework that validates each action proposed by a large language model (LLM) agent before it interacts with external tools, ensuring that actions stay within task‑scoped authorization boundaries and comply with dynamically constructed policies. It builds policies from tool specifications, benign tasks, and failure traces, verifying updates via SMT‑based counterexample checking. In evaluations on AgentDojo and AgentDyn benchmarks, ActGov consistently reduces indirect prompt‑injection attack success while maintaining task utility, outperforming existing defenses.
