📰 ArXiv cs.AI

AgentDrift reveals unsafe recommendation drift in LLM agents due to tool corruption, hidden by ranking metrics

advanced Published 26 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Identify potential tool corruption in LLM agents
  2. Evaluate the impact of tool corruption on recommendation safety using paired-trajectory protocols
  3. Decompose divergence into information-channel and decision-process components to understand the sources of unsafe drift
  4. Develop and implement safety-focused evaluation metrics to complement ranking-quality metrics
Who Needs to Know This

ML researchers and engineers working on LLM agents benefit from understanding AgentDrift, as it highlights the importance of evaluating safety in high-stakes domains. This knowledge can inform the development of more robust and reliable LLM agents

Key Insight

💡 Ranking metrics can hide unsafe recommendation drift in LLM agents, emphasizing the need for safety-focused evaluation
