Before Retrieval Begins: Safety and Tool-Use Decisions in LLM Agents

Large language models increasingly act as agents that call external tools, yet most tool-safety research examines only what follows a tool call. The prior decision of whether to call the tool remains largely unexamined and can influence downstream safety. Across the seven open-weight models, the unweighted model-averag...

DarKnight: Retrieval-Guided Agentic Framework for Breaking Dark Web CAPTCHA Gates

DarKnight, a self-improving agentic framework designed to run on a single workstation GPU inside an investigator's Tor crawler and solve CAPTCHAs with small, locally hosted open-weight VLMs that no provider decision can withdraw, without per-market training or third-party services is presented.

The Fragility of Trigger-Tag Mechanisms for Misuse Detection in Open-Weight LLMs

Open-weight language models can be downloaded, modified, and deployed beyond their developers'control, limiting the effectiveness of centrally enforced safeguards. Recent work has therefore proposed \emph{trigger-tag} mechanisms that produce a detectable signal when a model is used under a target condition, such as gen...

The Tokens Remember: When Tokenization Bypasses Knowledge Editing and Unlearning

Toketive is introduced, a simple yet powerful reference-free attack that exploits the tokenization-based side channel to detect modified knowledge and reconstruct the corresponding pre-edit response and shows that localized modifications should not be treated as robust knowledge-control boundaries without adversarial e...
