AgentDoG 1.5: A Lightweight and Scalable Alignment Framework for AI Agent Safety and Security

arXiv:2605.29801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern open-world agents such as OpenClaw exhibit powerful cross-environment execution capabilities yet introduce broad new safety risk sources. Meanwhile, advanced frontier AI models drastically lower attack barriers, rendering current agent alignment frameworks inadequate for real-world deployment. To tackle these emerging threats, we propose a lightweight and scalable agent safety alignment framework. Specifically, we update the agent safety taxonomy to accommodate emergent risks from Codex and OpenClaw execution scenarios. We further build

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid advancement of open-world AI agents and frontier models necessitates urgent development of robust safety and alignment frameworks to address emerging risks.

Why it’s important

The proliferation of powerful AI agents introduces complex safety and security challenges that, if unaddressed, could undermine the beneficial deployment of advanced AI, impacting various industries and national security.

What changes

This research introduces an updated safety taxonomy and a lightweight, scalable framework for aligning AI agents, specifically addressing new risks posed by advanced systems like OpenClaw and Codex.
