Do Tool Calls Execute as Intended? Measuring and Repairing Intent-Execution Correspondence in LLM Agents (arXiv)
paper · Story page
A measurement protocol for tool-call chains, plus IntAct, which delivers a call unaltered or refuses it.
In plain words
- Researchers found that software can silently change the instructions an artificial intelligence assistant sends to a computer.
- Their checking method finds which piece of software first changes an instruction.
- Their tool, IntAct, passes the instruction along unchanged or refuses to send it.
- Users lose time and money when these changes make an assistant retry an instruction that was already correct.
Appeared in
- Claude Code's Bash tool changed 12% of calls carrying code or escapes
