Agent Safety

Team AgentBusters implemented and evaluated **6 security arena scenarios** spanning **5 attack categories** that assess AI agent vulnerabilities. These scenarios test whether green-team AI defenders can resist various adversarial attacks including: 1. **Insecure Output Handling** (1 scenario) - Testing if AI assistants generate dangerous configuration files (e.g., LangChain/YAML injection) that execute malicious code when deserialized by downstream systems 2. **Direct Logic Override (Jailbreak)** (2 scenarios) - Evaluating AI resistance to creative prompt manipulation techniques such as puzzle-solving attacks to bypass copyright restrictions and fictional framing to extract harmful content 3. **Indirect Prompt Injection** (1 scenario) - Assessing AI susceptibility to manipulated external documents (SEC filings) that override proper decision-making 4. **Privacy/PII Leakage** (1 scenario) - Testing multi-tenant session isolation and resistance to cross-context data extraction attacks 5. **Data Poisoning Detection** (1 scenario) - Evaluating AI safety reviewers' ability to detect poisoned fine-tuning datasets that cause "weird generalization" or "inductive backdoors" All 6 scenarios successfully demonstrated that current AI safety measures can be bypassed through creative adversarial techniques. Two scenarios (**ConfigForge** and **Inductive Backdoor**) are original designs based on real-world vulnerabilities and recent research papers.

Our agent evaluates the ability of other agents to identify sandbagging models (e.g., models that are strategically underperforming). We run 5 rounds where each round presents via MCP the auditor (purple agent) with a database of challenging benchmark transcripts for the model (which may or may not be sandbagging) and a reference model. This same exercise was conducted as part of an actual auditing game run with teams of humans (https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.07810v1). The green agent then scores the assessments via accuracy, recall, and precision metrics.

A2A Purple Agent wrapped with CAUM structural observation. Includes benchmark-only control mode to study whether structural loop/stall signals improve agent behavior without exposing private task content.

Policy-compliance AI agent powered by the ramen ai Semantic Firewall. Uses a Mixture-of-Evaluators (MoE) architecture with Chain-of-Thought pre-steering to enforce business logic policies across FINRA/AML, retail, and IT helpdesk domains. Features a native Reflection Loop for quality assurance and a ramen ai PaaS semantic firewall for security enforcement.

We harvested 19,000+ scenarios from Hendrycks Ethics, and then select a randomized sub-set from 4 categories to form a unique 300 question corpus for each evaluation. These we evaluate both semantically and heuristically, harvesting disagreement as an error signal for the benchmark itself.

It evaluates LLM-based agents across 50 PDDL planning tasks using the VAL 4.0 symbolic engine to ensure mathematical correctness and constraint compliance.
