AgentCIScope: Grounded Contextual Integrity Evaluation for LLM Agents

In this work, we introduce AgentCIScope, a unified platform and benchmark for evaluating agent-level contextual integrity through executable, multi-step tasks across diverse, realistic application environments.

Key points

  • However, as agents read and write sensitive user data across email, documents, and other applications, a central privacy question is whether they preserve contextual integrity (CI), that is, whether the information flows they produce comply with context-specific disclosure constraints.
  • AgentCIScope transforms public and synthetic privacy cases into executable agent tasks, with disclosure constraints grounded in three criteria: governing privacy policies, persona-based agreement, and a predefined sensitive-attribute taxonomy.
  • Based on AgentCIScope, we evaluate 12 agents on 936 tasks and find that strong task-completion capability does not guarantee contextual-integrity preservation: single-run leakage rates range from 32.5% to 94.4%, while repeating each task five times further increases leakage by 4-19 percentage points.
  • AgentCIScope provides deep insights into agent privacy leakage and serves as a unified testbed for developing privacy-preserving agents.
