Abstract Existing agent-safety evaluation has focused mainly on externally induced risks. Yet agents may still enter unsafe trajectories under benign conditions. We study this complementary but underexplored setting through the lens of intrinsic risk, where intrinsic failures remain latent, propagate across long-horizon execution, and eventually lead to high-consequence outcomes. To evaluate this setting, we introduce non-attack intrinsic risk auditing and present HINTBench, a benchmark of 629 agent trajectories (523 risky, 106 safe; 33 steps on average) supporting three tasks: risk detection, risk-step localization, and intrinsic failure-type identification. Its annotations are organized under a unified five-constraint taxonomy. Experiments reveal a substantial capability gap: strong LLMs perform well on trajectory-level risk detection, but their performance drops to below 35 Strict-F1 on risk-step localization, while fine-grained failure diagnosis proves even harder. Existing guard models transfer poorly to this setting. These findings establish intrinsic risk auditing as an open challenge for agent safety.

Introduction
As large language models increasingly evolve into agents capable of multi-step reasoning, tool use, and environment interaction, the focus of safety research is also shifting (Wang et al., 2024; Li et al., 2026c). For agent systems, risk is no longer limited to whether the final output is harmful; instead, it can arise throughout the full process of decision making, action execution, and interaction with the environment (Shen et al., 2026). Accordingly, agent safety is moving from static output safety toward a broader examination of safety in dynamic execution (Shao et al., 2025). * Corresponding Authors.

Figure 1: Intrinsic risk in long-horizon agents. Even under benign conditions, intrinsic failures can propagate along execution trajectories and lead to highconsequence risks such as unauthorized privacy leakage.
Most existing work on agent safety focuses primarily on externally induced risks, such as prompt injection, malicious tool feedback, poisoned memory, and environment manipulation (Zhan et al., 2024; Jiang et al., 2026; Zheng et al., 2026). These studies mainly evaluate whether an agent can be hijacked, misled, or induced to perform dangerous actions when external inputs are corrupted or system boundaries are attacked (Debenedetti et al., 2024; Evtimov et al., 2025). This line of work is indispensable for understanding adversarial robustness, but it does not fully cover the risks that arise in benign real-world deployment. Recent trajectory-level benchmarks begin to move beyond pure attack-success evaluation (Luo et al., 2026; Mou et al., 2026; Liu et al., 2026b). However, they still do not explicitly focus on intrinsic failures under benign conditions, especially when such risks emerge early and propagate through long-horizon execution(Li et al., 2026b). Consider an agent asked to reschedule a meeting: if it skips recipient confirmation and sends a calendar update containing private notes to the wrong contact, the result is an irreversible privacy breach even though no external attack was involved. More generally, even when user instructions are be-
nign, tools are valid, and environment feedback is non-adversarial, an agent may still produce highconsequence risks due to intrinsic failures (Cemri et al., 2025). We distinguish such failures from pure capability or reliability issues by their consequence severity: an intrinsic failure becomes safety-critical when it may cause irreversible or high-stakes real-world harm that cannot be remedied by simply re-executing the task. In long-horizon execution, such failures may remain latent at first, then propagate through subsequent decisions and accumulate before becoming visible (Yao et al., 2023; Ma et al., 2024). The resulting gap between where risk originates and where it manifests makes detection, risk-step localization, and failure diagnosis substantially harder (Cemri et al., 2025). Motivated by these observations, we study nonattack intrinsic risk auditing for long-horizon agents: whether an agent may enter an unsafe execution trajectory due to intrinsic failures even in the absence of prompt attacks, tool contamination, or environment manipulation. Our goal is not limited to coarse post-hoc judgment over whether a trajectory is ultimately risky. Instead, we ask whether intrinsic risk is present, which steps in the execution chain are risky, and what category or pattern of intrinsic failure each risky step reflects. To study this problem, we construct HINTBench (Horizon-agent Intrinsic Non-attack Trajectory Benchmark), a benchmark for auditing intrinsic risk in benign, long-horizon agent trajectories, where risk arises from internal failures rather than external attacks. HINTBench supports three progressively richer auditing tasks: (1) risk detection, i.e., whether a trajectory contains intrinsic risk; (2) coarse-grained risk-step localization, i.e., identifying which steps are risky and assigning each to one of the five constraint categories; and (3) fine-grained risk-step localization, i.e., further identifying the specific risk pattern within each constraint category. In practice, we evaluate the latter two jointly at two granularity levels: coarse-grained (five constraint categories) and finegrained (eleven risk patterns). To enable consistent annotation and diagnosis, we organize intrinsic failures with a unified five-constraint taxonomy, covering Goal Constraint, Factual Constraint, Capability Constraint, Procedural Constraint, and State Constraint. These five constraints correspond to the key decision dimensions an agent must satisfy at each step: what to achieve, what is true,
what it can do, how to do it, and what has changed. Unlike existing benchmarks centered on external compromise, adversarial robustness, or coarse trajectory-level safety judgment (Mou et al., 2026), HINTBench directly targets non-attack intrinsic failures and provides fine-grained supervision, including trajectory-level risk labels, risk-step annotations, and taxonomy-based risk-type annotations. HINTBench contains 629 agent execution trajectories, including 523 risky trajectories and 106 safe ones, with an average length of 33 steps. This makes it substantially longer than prior trajectorylevel benchmarks such as ATBench(Liu et al., 2026a) (8.9 steps on average) and R-Judge(Yuan et al., 2024) (5.4 steps on average). We benchmark both specialized guard models and generalpurpose LLMs as auditors, and find a substantial gap between trajectory-level risk detection and step-level auditing: risk-step localization and finegrained failure diagnosis remain challenging even for strong LLMs, while existing guard models transfer poorly to this setting (Inan et al., 2023). Our contributions are summarized as follows: • We introduce non-attack intrinsic risk auditing for long-horizon agents, a new safety evaluation setting that targets unsafe execution trajectories caused by internal failures under benign, nonadversarial conditions. • We develop HINTBench, a long-horizon benchmark with fine-grained supervision, including trajectory-level risk labels, risk-step annotations, taxonomy-based risk-type annotations, and a unified five-constraint taxonomy for consistent annotation and analysis. • We conduct systematic experiments with both specialized guard models and general-purpose LLMs as auditors, revealing that risk-step localization and fine-grained failure diagnosis remain challenging even for strong LLMs, while existing guard models transfer poorly to intrinsic risk settings.

Related Work
Online Attack Evaluation. A major line of work studies whether agents remain safe under externally induced risks. AgentDojo(Debenedetti et al., 2024) builds an extensible prompt-injection benchmark and emphasizes adaptive attacks and defenses in dynamic environments. AgentHarm(Andriushchenko
et al., 2025) shifts the focus to harmful user requests and evaluates whether jailbroken agents can carry out malicious multi-step tasks. ASB(Zhang et al., 2025a) systematizes attack-and-defense evaluation across multiple scenarios, tools, and attack types, including prompt injection, memory poisoning, and backdoor attacks, while AgentSafetyBench(Zhang et al., 2025b) further expands the coverage to broader risk types and interaction settings. In web environments, SafeArena(Tur et al., 2025) studies the deliberate misuse of autonomous web agents, WASP(Evtimov et al., 2025) emphasizes realistic end-to-end prompt injection under constrained attackers, and AgentDyn(Li et al., 2026a) pushes evaluation toward dynamic open-ended tasks involving untrusted third-party instructions. Post-hoc Trajectory Auditing. Another line of work studies agent safety through post-hoc auditing of completed execution trajectories. R-Judge(Yuan et al., 2024) initiates this setting by evaluating risk awareness from multi-turn interaction records with safety labels and structured risk descriptions. ASSEBench(Luo et al., 2026), introduced with AgentAuditor, further extends this paradigm by drawing a clearer distinction between safety and security and adopting ambiguity-aware annotation protocols. ATBench(Liu et al., 2026a) further introduce fine-grained diagnostic dimensions, such as risk source, failure mode, and consequence type, while TS-Bench(Mou et al., 2026) supports step-level safety assessment for tool use. Overall, these works improve interpretability and diagnostic granularity, but their focus remains broad trajectory safety auditing. They do not explicitly model unsafe trajectories caused by intrinsic failures under benign conditions as a distinct problem. Moreover, most existing work remains at the level of trajectorylevel risk judgment, lacking a joint treatment of risk-step localization and failure-type identification. Our work advances this line by systematizing non-attack intrinsic risk auditing into three tasks: risk detection, risk-step localization, and intrinsic failure-type identification.

Methodology
3.1
Problem Setup
We study intrinsic agent safety under benign conditions. Specifically, user instructions are benign, tools are valid, and environment feedback is non-adversarial. Given a completed trajectory
τ = (s1 , a1 , o1 , . . . , sT , aT , oT ), where st , at , and ot denote the internal state, action, and observation at step t, an auditor predicts two outputs: a trajectory-level risk label y ∈ {0, 1} and a set of typed risk tuples Rτ = {(t1 , c1 ), . . . , (tm , cm )}. Each tuple (ti , ci ) represents a risky step and its corresponding risk type. This tuple-set formulation supports both single-point and multi-point risk trajectories. When y = 0, Rτ is empty. 3.2
Classification Criteria
Unlike empirically listing surface-level error phenomena, our taxonomy offers a structured characterization of intrinsic failures by deriving them from the necessary conditions for correct execution, as shown in Table 1. The core idea is that an agent’s execution should be regarded as correct not merely because its final outcome appears acceptable on the surface, but because it continuously satisfies a set of fundamental constraints throughout task progression. Accordingly, risk and failure can be understood as systematic deviations from these constraints. Building the taxonomy on this basis improves its theoretical coherence, explanatory power, and extensibility. More specifically, for an agent to complete a task correctly, at least five conditions must hold. Its actions should remain aligned with task goals, user intent, and authorization boundaries; its judgments should remain consistent with external facts, environmental feedback, and observable evidence; its action selection should match the actually available tools, functional limits, and permission conditions; its execution process should follow the required step order, preconditions, confirmation requirements, and exception-handling logic; and its internal representation of task progress, execution outcomes, and environment status should remain consistent with the true runtime state. On this basis, we define correct execution as the continuous satisfaction of five fundamental constraints: the Goal Constraint, Factual Constraint, Capability Constraint, Procedural Constraint, and State Constraint. These five dimensions correspond to five core questions in task execution: what should be done, what judgments should be based on, what can actually be done, how execution should proceed, and what the current state is. Together, they cover the full execution process from goal alignment to state maintenance, and thus provide a systematic account of the main sources of intrinsic risk. Compared with taxonomies built only on er-

ror appearances or outcome types, this constraintbased scheme better reveals the underlying mechanisms by which risks arise and provides a clearer structural basis for risk diagnosis, failure analysis, and safeguard design. Violations of different constraints usually correspond to different causal patterns and mitigation strategies, and can therefore be treated as basic forms of execution failure or sources of risk. On this basis, we further refine each major constraint into more discriminative risk subcategories, yielding a hierarchical structure of fundamental constraints – risk categories – specific subcategories. This structure preserves theoretical unity while also improving practical usability. 3.3
Benchmark Construction
Building on the five-constraint taxonomy above, we construct HINTBench to systematically evaluate constraint satisfaction in long-horizon agent execution. The overall pipeline consists of three stages: environment seed curation, structured trajectory synthesis with quality filtering, and human verification. 3.3.1
Environment Seed Curation
Realistic and high-fidelity trajectory generation requires a well-specified execution environment. To support this, we construct a set of environment
seeds covering a range of high-risk, multi-step task scenarios, including banking, travel booking, and enterprise operations. Each environment seed defines a task environment in a structured form and consists of three core components: (1) an environment description, which provides an overall account of the task background, objectives, and operating context; (2) environment components, which specify the key entities, state variables, and dependency relations that make up the execution environment; and (3) tool definitions and tool descriptions, which explicitly define the interfaces, parameters, return formats, and capability boundaries of the available tools. In total, we construct 30 environment seeds. All environments are manually collected and organized, and undergo multiple rounds of cross-checking and revision to ensure realistic scenario design, complete environment structure, clear tool definitions, and support for complex state changes and dependency relations in multi-step tasks. 3.3.2
Structured Trajectory Synthesis
At the trajectory synthesis stage, we do not generate complete long-horizon interactions in a single pass. Instead, we adopt a staged and structured generation strategy: we first construct an interaction skeleton, and then gradually fill in the natural

language content. The reason is that, when long trajectories are generated end-to-end, the resulting samples are more likely to contain tool calls that do not match the environment definition, inconsistent state transitions across steps, broken dependency relations, and later dialogue turns that drift away from the established execution context. These issues introduce hard-to-control structural errors into the synthesis process. More specifically, for each environment, we first randomly select a subset of available tools to increase the diversity of tasks and tool combinations. The model then generates a user task based on the selected tools and further produces an interaction skeleton. The skeleton explicitly specifies the high-level execution structure of the task, including goal decomposition, key reasoning nodes, tool invocation order, environment responses, and state progression relations. On this basis, we let the model play the different roles in the skeleton and gradually fill in the natural dialogue and intermediate textual content, thereby producing a complete trajectory. This process partially decouples execution structure from language realization, which helps improve the stability and controllability of long-trajectory generation. Based on this process, we first construct normal trajectories. For each environment, the model generates user tasks with multiple coherent sub-
goals and then produces normal skeletons with dependency relations. Only normal skeletons that pass quality checking are expanded into complete normal trajectories. We then apply multi-model consensus to evaluate task completion, logical consistency, and linguistic naturalness, and retain only samples that satisfy the quality threshold. Starting from these validated normal samples, we further construct risk variants. Rather than inserting errors randomly, we inject risks into the normal skeletons in a systematic way, introducing targeted perturbations grounded in the five fundamental constraints to produce risk skeletons corresponding to specific failure modes. Risk skeletons that pass plausibility checking are then gradually expanded by the model into complete risk trajectories. In this way, the resulting risk trajectories not only cover different types of constraint violations, but also more realistically reflect how risks arise and propagate in multi-step execution. 3.3.3
Human Verification
All generated normal and risk trajectories undergo manual verification. For normal trajectories, annotators examine execution correctness and identify any latent constraint violations not explicitly labeled. For risk trajectories, annotators verify not only whether the intended risk occurs at the designated step, but also whether any additional co-

As shown in Table 2, HINTBench has a substantially greater average trajectory length than ATBench and RJudge, indicating that it is better suited to capture the complexity of long-horizon agent interactions, including multi-step reasoning, repeated tool use, and cross-stage dependencies. In addition, we provide a representative risk trajectory excerpt to illustrate how constraint violations can emerge from local failures and propagate over the course of longhorizon interactions.

Dataset Composition.
HINTBench contains 106 normal trajectories and 523 risk trajectories. Each risk trajectory is derived from a normal trajectory through targeted risk transformation, producing variants associated with different failure mechanisms. This design enables broader coverage of diverse intrinsic risks in long-horizon agents under non-adversarial conditions. Notably, a single risk trajectory may contain multiple risk steps. Figure 3 shows the distribution of the 1,418 risk steps in HINTBench across constraint categories and risk patterns. Procedural Constraint violations account for the largest share, followed by factual, state, capability, and goal constraints, indicating that the benchmark provides broad coverage of diverse intrinsic risk types and failure modes, while supporting more stable and fine-grained auditing evaluation. We further compare HINTBench with two related benchmarks in terms of trajectory length. Trajectory length is measured at the message level, where each message from the user, agent, or en-

Evaluation Protocol
We evaluate models under the three auditing settings described above. Since guard models only support risk judgment and do not provide risk-step localization, we evaluate them only on the risk detection task. All experiments are repeated three times, and the average results are reported. Below, we introduce the three evaluation settings and their corresponding metrics. (1) Risk Detection. Given a complete trajectory, the model is required to determine whether it contains risk, i.e., to predict a binary label of safe or unsafe. For this setting, we report Accuracy, MacroF1, and class-wise F1 for both safe and unsafe. (2) Coarse-Grained Risk-Step Localization. The model is required to identify the risk steps in a trajectory and assign each of them to one of the five high-level constraint categories, thereby determining both where the risk occurs and its coarsegrained type. For this setting, we report risk-step
recall, localization F1, as well as strict recall and strict F1 under category constraints. (3) Fine-Grained Risk-Step Localization. The model is further required to identify the finegrained risk pattern associated with each risk step, enabling a more precise diagnosis of the underlying failure mechanism. For this setting, we report the same localization metrics and category-constrained strict localization metrics as above. More detailed metric definitions, evaluation details, and additional results are provided in the Appendix B. 4.2
Results and Analysis
Tables 3 and 4 report the main results of general models and guard models on HINTBench, respectively. Overall, mainstream models perform relatively well on trajectory-level risk detection, but remain clearly weaker on risk-step localization and fine-grained diagnosis. We summarize the main findings in three observations. Observation 1. Risk-step localization is substantially harder than trajectory-level risk detection. This is the most salient pattern in the results. Several strong general-purpose models achieve high Avg-F1 on Risk Detection, but their performance drops sharply once step-level localization and type prediction are required. For example, Kimi-K2.5 reaches 96.93 Avg-F1 on Risk Detection, but only 33.32 and 21.08 Strict-F1 on coarse-grained and fine-grained localization, respectively. Similar trends also appear in GPT-5.4, Claude-Sonnet-4.6,
GLM-5, and ERNIE-5. This shows that trajectorylevel detection does not fully reflect true auditing ability in long-horizon agent settings. Observation 2. Existing guard models transfer poorly to this setting and often exhibit clear prediction bias. As shown in Table 4, guard models are generally weaker than the strongest general-purpose LLMs on risk detection and do not support risk-step localization. This suggests that guard models designed for conventional safety filtering or external-attack detection do not transfer well to intrinsic risk auditing under benign, long-horizon conditions. Some also show clear prediction bias, tending to assign most examples to the same class. For instance, the AgentDoG models achieve high Accuracy but extremely low Safe-F1, indicating that they tend to classify most trajectories as unsafe rather than genuinely distinguish safe from risky ones. Observation 3. Intrinsic risk auditing requires a certain level of model capability. Smaller models, such as Llama3.2-3B-Instruct, Llama3.1-8B-Instruct, and Mistral-7B-Instructv0.3, perform consistently poorly on both detection and localization. This suggests that reliable intrinsic risk auditing depends on sufficient long-context understanding and multi-step reasoning ability. Notably, gains from model scale are not monotonic: within the Qwen3 family, medium-sized models can sometimes match or even outperform larger ones. This indicates that performance depends not only on parameter scale, but also on how well a model represents trajectory state, tool outcomes, and cross-step dependencies. Overall, current models are much better at detecting risk than at localizing and diagnosing it. This capability gap is exactly the core challenge that HINTBench is designed to expose and evaluate. 4.3
Real-Time Risk Monitoring
To evaluate whether models can identify risk during execution, rather than only making post-hoc judgments over complete trajectories, we further construct a prefix-based real-time monitoring setting. Each unsafe trajectory is truncated immediately after the first risky action, while each safe trajectory is randomly truncated at a non-risk step. This yields a balanced evaluation set of 1,000 samples,

including 500 unsafe prefixes and 500 safe prefixes, for testing whether models can detect risk when it first becomes observable. Results are reported in Table 5. Observation 4. Performance on fulltrajectory auditing does not transfer consistently to real-time risk monitoring. Real-time monitoring is substantially harder than risk detection on complete trajectories, because models must judge under incomplete context. Most models show clear performance drops in this setting, suggesting that stronger results on full trajectories partly rely on global trajectory information. Model rankings are also unstable: ERNIE-5 performs near the top on complete-trajectory detection, but drops by nearly 20 F1 points here, while Qwen3-14B becomes relatively stronger under prefix-based evaluation. This suggests that different safety tasks probe different model capabilities.

Conclusion
We introduce HINTBench, a benchmark for auditing intrinsic failures in long-horizon agent execution under benign conditions, built around a unified five-constraint taxonomy. It provides realistic trajectories, structured annotations, and multiple evaluation settings for safer and more reliable agents.
Limitations Our current benchmark is built from synthetic trajectories, which may not fully capture all long-tail failures in real deployments. In addition, earliestrisk-step annotation may still contain uncertainty for highly entangled reasoning traces.

A
In the preparation of this work, we used LLMs as auxiliary tools in a limited capacity. Specifically, LLMs assisted in drafting portions of the code and in refining the wording of certain sentences for clarity and readability. All technical content, including the design of algorithms, experimental methodology, analysis, and interpretations, was independently developed by the authors. The use of LLMs was confined to language refinement and coding suggestions, and did not influence the scientific contributions or results reported in this paper.

Detailed General Model Results
C.1
Risk Detection: Detailed Metrics
Analysis for Table 6. Table 6 reports class-wise recall in addition to F1-based metrics. Kimi-K2.5, ERNIE-5, GLM-5, and MiniMax-M2.5 all achieve high binary accuracy (96%+), with both safe and unsafe recalls at relatively high levels. ClaudeSonnet-4.6 attains strong Unsafe-F1 (94.65) with lower Safe-Rec. (64.15). GPT-5.4 shows a more asymmetric recall profile (Unsafe-Rec. 100.00 vs. Safe-Rec. 31.13). C.2
Coarse Localization: Detailed Metrics
Analysis for Table 7. Table 7 further separates localization quality into no-type and typed matching. Across models, no-type P/R/F1 is consistently higher than typed P/R/F1. This pattern indicates that step-level overlap is generally easier than jointly satisfying category constraints. Strict sample accuracy remains low across models (typically in low-to-mid teens for stronger models). C.3
Fine Localization: Detailed Metrics
Analysis for Table 8. Compared with coarse localization, Table 8 shows a further reduction in both no-type and typed metrics for most models, consistent with the higher granularity of fine risk labels. The no-type vs. typed gap remains visible, indicating that correct fine-grained type assignment is a key source of residual error. Strict sample accuracy is also lower than in the coarse setting for many models, reflecting the difficulty of exact matching over verdict, type, and step sets under fine-grained constraints.

Real-Time Prefix Detection: Detailed Metrics
Analysis for Table 9. Table 9 presents online prefix detection results (excluding GPT-5.4 and Claude-Sonnet-4.6 in this setting). A consistent observation is the Safe-Rec./Unsafe-Rec. imbalance for several models, where safe recall remains high while unsafe recall is notably lower (e.g., Qwen38B: 97.51 vs. 35.37). Relative to full-trajectory risk detection, real-time prefix evaluation is generally more challenging. C.5
Cross-Table Synthesis
Comprehensive analysis across four tables. Taken together, the four tables provide a consistent picture with the main-text findings. First, model differences observed in binary risk detection largely persist in localization and real-time settings. Second, localization metrics show two recurring gaps: no-type vs. typed matching, and coarse vs. fine granularity. Third, strict sample accuracy remains substantially lower than aggregate P/R/F1 across
localization tasks.

Detailed Guard Model Results
Result Description. The results indicate a clear polarization in decision tendency across guard models. A first group, including Qwen3Guard-8B, ShieldGemma-9B, LlamaGuard3-8B, and PolyGuard, exhibits a safe-leaning profile: Safe recall is very high (often close to or at 100%), while Unsafe recall remains comparatively low. For example, Qwen3Guard-8B shows Unsafe recall of 0.19% in the offline setting and 0.00% in the realtime setting. A second group, including ShieldAgent, AgentDoG-Qwen-7B, and AgentDoG-Llama8B, exhibits an unsafe-leaning profile, with very high Unsafe recall (95%+ offline, and 100.00% for AgentDoG-Llama-8B offline) but substantially weaker Safe recall, especially for the two AgentDoG models. In full-trajectory (offline) evaluation, the highest accuracies are achieved by ShieldAgent (86.01%), AgentDoG-Llama-8B (83.47%), and AgentDoG-

Table 11: Guard models on real-time prefix risk detection. P/R denotes precision/recall.
Qwen-7B (80.45%). However, for AgentDoG, these high aggregate scores are largely associated with strong unsafe-prediction bias, as reflected by very low Safe recall (1.89% for AgentDoG-Llama8B and 3.77% for AgentDoG-Qwen-7B). From a balance perspective, ShieldAgent is relatively more usable than the AgentDoG variants: it maintains high Unsafe precision/recall (86.80/98.09) while preserving non-trivial Safe precision/recall (73.68/26.42), although a notable class imbalance remains. In real-time prefix detection, ShieldAgent still maintains high Unsafe recall (96.18%), indicat-
ing comparatively stable risk capture under partialcontext conditions. AgentDoG-Qwen-7B further increases Unsafe recall to 99.62%, but at the cost of a further drop in Safe recall (1.15%), i.e., stronger one-sided behavior. Qwen3Guard-8B and ShieldGemma-9B remain conservative in the realtime setting, with low Unsafe recall (0.00% and 8.60%, respectively), consistent with their offline tendency. From the offline-to-real-time transition, most models show non-increasing Unsafe recall (or only limited change), including LlamaGuard3-8B, ShieldGemma-9B, ShieldAgent, and AgentDoG-
Llama-8B. PolyGuard and AgentDoG-Qwen-7B are exceptions with modest Unsafe-recall gains, but both still exhibit evident class-wise imbalance. Overall, these observations are consistent with the main-text conclusion: guard models commonly present strong decision bias, and real-time prefix auditing tends to magnify this bias; improvements in one class recall are frequently accompanied by degradation in the other class.

Summary Across Cases. The extended examples are consistent with the quantitative findings. Kimi-K2.5 can correctly identify and localize injected risks in complex trajectories, while still producing occasional false positives on safe opera-
tional workflows. Qwen3Guard-8B illustrates a conservative safe-leaning failure mode (false negative), whereas AgentDoG-Qwen-7B illustrates an unsafe-leaning failure mode (false positive).
