Identify, Classify, Act: Per-Instruction Controlled Compliance for LLMs over External Data

The paper introduces EDIC, a framework for per‑instruction compliance in large language models that interact with external data. It decomposes the task into identifying, classifying, and acting on each embedded directive, using a scene‑grounded pipeline and a generative judge trained with GRPO to attribute compliance at the instruction level. Experiments on two backbones and five benchmarks show that EDIC improves safety and utility, achieving up to a 7.7% increase in harmful‑rejection and a 12.5% boost in Arena‑Hard‑Auto utility on Qwen3‑4B.
