Title: CIVeX: Causal Intervention Verification for Language Agents
Abstract:
arXiv:2605.09168v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A valid tool call is not necessarily a valid intervention. Tool-using language agents are guarded by schema validators, policy filters, provenance checks, state predictors, and self-verification, yet such safeguards do not certify that a state-changing action has an identifiable causal effect. In confounded workflows, the action that looks optimal in observational logs can reduce utility when executed. We introduce CIVeX, a causal intervention veri
