COMPASS: Cognitive MCTS-Guided Process Alignment for Safe Search Agents
A new framework leverages tree-based search to secure multi-step AI agents against complex, deceptive queries.
LLM-powered search agents enable multi-step reasoning and tool use. However, these capabilities introduce retrieval-induced safety degradation, as harmful intents may decompose into seemingly innocuous sub-queries that lead to unsafe outcomes. Existing alignment methods struggle ...
