arXiv:2607. 14553v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern industrial environments increasingly run many autonomous subsystems at once - schedulers, energy managers, vehicle fleets - each pursuing its own goals while sharing the same physical resources.

A Safety-Bounded SDC-to-MCP Gateway for Medical AI Agents

The paper introduces a safety‑bounded gateway that translates IEEE 11073 Service‑Oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) into the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for medical AI agents. It exposes device metrics, alarms, context references, and semantic metadata as read‑only resources, while representing selected action affordances as policy‑validated dry‑run tools, ensuring that agent requests never trigger actual device operations. A Python prototype demonstrates fault and lifecycle experiments, deterministic baselines, and multi‑model agent evaluation, showing improved semantic conformity and preservation of the no‑execution boundary.

Sapien: A Stateful Policy Engine for Autonomous AI Agents

Sapien is a policy engine that enforces stateful contextual policies for autonomous AI agents, specifying allowed tool‑call sequences with an extended regular expression that includes stateful predicates, deferred policy generation, and scoped semantic checks. The system maintains performance close to an unconstrained agent while significantly reducing malicious actions, ruling out 93‑95% of attacks on AgentDojo and 62‑85% on Toolathlon, outperforming traditional tool allowlists on long‑horizon tasks.

Agent-Integrated Software: Interaction Contracts and Continuous Assurance

The paper introduces Agent-Integrated Software (AIS), a pattern that embeds an intelligent agent within an existing application to address persistent coordination challenges. It defines Intent-Level Interaction Abstraction (IIA) as the task semantics for user inspection and control, and presents interaction contracts that constrain the relationship between AIS execution and IIA states. The authors provide a transition-system model, a compact disclosure contract, and conditional propositions to illustrate how local component validity is insufficient and how admission invariants can be separated from planning, concluding with a research agenda for making agent integration a maintainable software engineering discipline.
