SiLR: Structure-Preserving Admission and Process Reward for LLM Tool Agents

SiLR introduces a structure‑preserving admission and process reward mechanism for large language model (LLM) tool agents. Unlike traditional scalar‑score gates that can trap agents in plateau trajectories, SiLR shadow‑executes each proposal and admits it based on a product order over branch‑level violation states, ensuring safe and recoverable actions. Experiments on Gym‑ANM and CityLearn benchmarks show SiLR consistently recovers all multi‑action episodes and outperforms scalar gates, while also providing a robust reward signal for policy learning.

Will the Agent Recuse, and Will It Stop? Measuring LLM-Agent Compliance with In-Band Governance Signals at the Access Door and Mid-Flight

arXiv:2606. 06460v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autonomous LLM agents increasingly hold real credentials and operate infrastructure with no human in the loop, yet operators have no standard way to tell an agent a resource is off-limits, or to ask a running agent to stand down: access controls either admit it or hard-fail it.

The Delegation Danger Band: Why Mid-Capability Sub-Agents Over-Trust Inherited Stale State

The paper investigates how inherited state affects sub-agent performance in multi-agent frameworks, comparing three inheritance policies—Reset, Selective, and Full—across a ladder of Qwen3 models. It finds that reliance on stale state decreases with model capability, but a mid-capability model (Qwen3‑1.7B) exhibits a statistically significant local minimum of net harm, defining a "danger band." Selective handoff consistently improves accuracy over Full, especially within the danger band, while a fixed-threshold router fails on other datasets.
