For solo builders
A possible application for this research area. Paper-specific feasibility still needs a full-paper review.
An agent reads external documents or tool responses that may contain malicious instructions.

Replay attacks and legitimate lookalikes in an isolated copy of your agent workflow.
Compare against
Your existing checks with the same tasks, permissions, and tool responses.
- Locate the paper's implementation and check its license, model support, data needs, and hardware requirements. Stop here if you cannot obtain the required artifacts.
- Save a small set of representative product tasks and expected outcomes. Keep evaluation tasks out of any training or tuning, and choose quality and cost limits before running.
- Run the baseline and the proposed change on identical inputs. Keep other settings fixed and repeat paired runs to expose variation.
- Save per-task outputs, failures, timings, and all usage costs. Review regressions before expanding the test.
What to measure
Successful attacks missed, legitimate actions blocked, detection delay, and review cost.
When to keep it
Keep the change only if it meets your preselected quality and latency limits and improves the metric you care about after setup and operating costs. Otherwise retain the baseline. This is an exploration plan, not a validated recommendation.

It targets a realistic production risk for coding and tool-using agents and appears deployable as a wrapper around existing APIs without model training, but its residual attack rate, agent-dependent advisories, and benchmark-limited evidence require workload-specific validation before production reliance.
About the technical core
Equations have not been fetched yet.
When reading the methods, identify the rule, algorithm, or evaluation protocol that produces the claimed change. An equation is useful here only if it explains that mechanism.

- claim 01Paperraft inference
Read the brief interpretation
It replaces unguarded cross-session skill execution, in which persistent artifacts are consumed without provenance context, with a runtime layer that restores artifact provenance and adds a pre-execution advisory review while leaving the final decision to the agent. The cost is additional engineering to record and propagate artifact provenance, extra review latency and prompt/context tokens per skill invocation, and possible advisory false positives that can block or alter legitimate flows. It can fail because the final execution choice remains with the agent, roughly one in ten attacks still succeeds in the reported setting, and provenance can be incomplete across sessions, tools, or artifact types outside the evaluated benchmark.

SkillRelayGuard reduces overall attack success rate from 69.5% to 10.9% (about 6.4x lower) and attack chain success rate from 54.8% to 10.0%, while raising legitimate task completion from 79.6% to 87.5% across three agent settings.
