"Agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) rely on semantic matching to select tools from third-party servers, exposing a semantic supply-chain risk through attacker-controlled metadata and outputs. We introduce A2M (Attraction-to-Manipulation), a two-stage black-box framework for hijacking MCP a..."

We study the emergence of collusion in a long-horizon multi-agent environment: two agents repeatedly complete individual tasks, share task logs, verify each other's wo..."
"A coding agent must emit a valid tool call--a parseable invocation of a tool in the provided schema--before the harness can execute its chosen action. We study how local serving stacks affect this protocol step and show that measured outcomes can depend on the serving layer rather than model behavio..."
