Title: ChainCaps: Composition-Safe Tool-Using Agents via Monotonic Capability Attenuation

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.26542v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tool-using agents increasingly operate in open-ended deployment environments, where they compose file systems, web APIs, code interpreters, and enterprise services at runtime. This creates a safety gap in tool composition: an agent can satisfy every per-tool permission check and still produce an unsafe end-to-end effect, such as reading a confidential document, summarizing it, and sending the summary to an external endpoint. We call this failure
