## One-line Takeaway

Auto-collected from arXiv because it matched the Agent collection queries. Needs human skim.

## Why Collected

- matched queries: agent-memory
- inferred topics: agent-safety, memory, multi-agent, reasoning
- arXiv categories: cs.CL
- collection score: 15

## Review Checklist

- Does this paper directly inform Agent architecture, evaluation, memory, tools, safety, coding agents, GUI/browser agents, or multi-agent workflows?
- Does it include a benchmark, dataset, code, or reproducible experimental setup?
- Should it be promoted from `queued` to `skimmed` or `summarized`?
