Beyond Approved Actions: Runtime Validation of Persistent Outcomes in Agent Workflows

Read the original on arXiv AI →

EffectMatch is a runtime system that monitors and validates persistent changes made by large language model agents during software interactions. It collects all side‑effects within a controlled execution boundary and compares them against the application’s approved state, deciding whether to commit the changes and allow subsequent steps. In tests on 206 public business tasks, EffectMatch preserved correct executions and prevented all incorrect commits, with ablation studies showing the importance of each component.

Local Edits, Global Ripples: Replay-Informed Policy Adaptation for Workflow Synthesis

The paper introduces RIPPLE, a method for adapting workflow-synthesizing agents through prompt-policy editing without retraining the underlying model. RIPPLE diagnoses failed execution trajectories, maps failures to specific policy segments, and restricts edits to those segments. It then evaluates candidate edits in isolation and replays only those that remain safe after composition, achieving up to a 23.1% improvement in validation success on a synthetic benchmark and positive gains on additional language‑model backbones.

AstronOS: A Unified Execution Model and Runtime for Long-Horizon Agentic Systems

arXiv:2608. 16381v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic systems often organize execution and state around a single conversation, model invocation, or agent instance, even when real work spans many calls and stages.

REVISE: Validity-Guided Recovery for Online Revisions in Agent Workflows

The paper introduces “Revise”, a runtime system that performs validity-guided, fine-grained recovery for online revisions in structured agent workflows. When a revision arrives, Revise intersects the change with recorded data and control dependencies, propagates the impact through the partially executed DAG, stops invalid work, preserves unaffected progress, and recomputes only the affected region. Experiments on real coding‑agent traces and LangGraph/LLMCompiler applications show that Revise matches a latest‑version oracle, reduces model calls by up to 56%, and improves service‑level objective goodput under load.
