- matched queries: agent-safety
- inferred topics: agent-evaluation, agent-safety, tool-use
- arXiv categories: cs.AI
- 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`?
