X-AgentRed: Red-Teaming Personal Agents in Evolving Multi-Service Ecosystems

To address this, we propose X-AgentRed, a self-evolving red-teaming framework that discovers harmful tool call paths through a graph of tool dependencies and expands and refines them using execution feedback.

Key points

  • Personal agents increasingly connect to services across the web and applications by using tools.
  • Proactively identifying these compositional failures requires systematically exploring diverse cross-service paths.
  • By analyzing each tool's effects, potential harms, and preconditions for execution, the red-teaming agent constructs a directed graph that captures how one tool's effects can satisfy another's execution preconditions.
  • Across four frontier agentic models, X-AgentRed achieves $1.77\times$ the harmful path rate of STAC and explores a more diverse set of tools, yielding $2.99\times$ the tool coverage on average.
