arXiv:2608. 05695v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As large language model (LLM) agents increasingly invoke external tools and interact with real-world systems, unsafe actions may cause irreversible consequences on external states, user data, and downstream services.

RePolicy is a reinforcement learning approach designed to invoke safety policies for language model agents by evaluating entire execution trajectories within context-dependent policy libraries. It generates policy-grounded rationales and safety judgments, and is initialized with the PolicyTraj-20K dataset before fine-tuning via GRPO with verifiable rewards and policy-context perturbation. Experiments on six safety benchmarks demonstrate strong safety-detection performance and robust policy invocation across varying contexts.

arXiv:2606. 05805v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based guardrails typically safeguard agents by evaluating proposed actions or inputs before execution, producing safety signals such as binary allow/deny decisions, risk categories, and/or explanatory rationales about potential policy violations.

Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly operate over long-horizon interactions involving tool use, persistent state, evolving authorization, and external environment feedback. In such settings,...
Safeguarding language model agents requires assessing complete execution trajectories under context-dependent safety policies. Existing policy-aware safeguards mainly rely on prompting or supervised f...

arXiv:2608. 09885v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The safety of large language model (LLM) agents depends not only on model weights but also on the agent harness that manages context, memory, tools, permissions, and runtime control.
