arXiv:2607.01236v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM agents gain increasing access to powerful tools, ensuring that their actions are aligned with the user's intent becomes critical. When an agent's proposed tool invocation deviates from the user's intent -- a phenomenon called misalignment -- it may lead to harmful consequences that are difficult to undo. Existing runtime guardrails rely on an LLM-as-a-judge paradigm that lacks a systematic framework for reasoning about alignment, often producing judgments that are inconsistent or difficult to audit. Motivated by provenance analysis, we pro
As LLM agents are rapidly gaining capabilities and access to powerful tools, the urgency to ensure their alignment with human intent has become paramount to prevent harmful actions.
The development of robust safeguards for LLM agents directly impacts the trustworthiness and widespread adoption of AI agentic systems, which are poised to collapse white-collar workflows.
Current LLM-as-a-judge paradigms for alignment are being challenged by more systematic frameworks like provenance analysis, offering a more auditable and consistent approach to agent safety.
