A new arXiv paper proposes a five-condition controlled contrast design to better evaluate the safety of multi-agent LLM systems. The research argues that current aggregate "pipeline effects" conflate three distinct mechanisms: harmful intent reframing, planner refusal or transformation of requests, and executor compliance under approval-framed delegation. The study found that operational reframing is a significant risk signal across models like GPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek, while Claude is more resistant. The findings suggest that multi-agent safety evaluations should report these factors separately rather than relying on a single aggregate metric. AI
