Auditing Agent Actions through Query-Conditioned Attribution
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.33676v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLM agents increasingly take consequential actions through interactions with users, policies, and external tools. Auditing these agents requires automated attribution of realized actions to their historical basis. However, existing attribution formulations do not provide question-specific traces for diverse auditing objectives. Additionally, when access to the acting model is limited (e.g., in API-only deployments), applicable methods commonly rely on costly input perturbations or external LLM analysis of complete trajectories. We therefore f

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
