Researchers have developed ProbeID, a system designed to verify the identity of tools used by Large Language Model (LLM) agents, particularly when the tool registry might be subject to drift. ProbeID works by comparing canonicalized responses to schema-valid probes against a trusted admission reference, abstaining from decisions when ambiguity arises. This method ensures that a tool's observable behavior is consistent with its trusted description, thereby preventing malicious replacements. In tests on the MCP-IdentityDrift dataset, ProbeID achieved a 0.956 hit@1 accuracy, significantly outperforming description-based routers and demonstrating robustness against value noise and higher computational costs.
