JANUS: Foreseeing Latent Risk for Long-Horizon Agent Safety
Agent safety is moving from content moderation toward preventing operational failures before tool-using agents act. We propose Janus, a foresight-oriented framework for long-horizon agent safety that trains guards to anticipate delayed risks from partial trajectories.
