  "title": "Speculative Safety Honeypot: Toward Proactive Defense Against Multi-turn Agent Attacks",
  "summary": "SSH replaces purely retrospective, context-based multi-turn attack detection with an action-level speculate-and-verify workflow in which small LLMs simulate a trajectory tree of the target agent's future behavior and prune it against observed actions. The cost is substantial additional inference per monitored interaction: an asynchronous multi-agent simulation maintained alongside production traffic, plus integration and tree-management complexity, all of which multiply latency and compute on a single-GPU or API-budget setup. It can fail through speculative divergence, where simulated trajectories poorly predict the real agent's behavior and either miss split-intent attacks or generate false-positive warnings that erode operator trust, and the abstract provides no quantified detection or lead-time results to bound this risk.",
  "rationale": "The approach is implementable with small LLMs on constrained infrastructure and addresses a real production concern, but the absence of quantified results and the added per-turn simulation cost mean its value must be validated on the reader's own agent workload before adoption.",
