This paper delivers the first systematic taxonomy and cross-benchmark consistency analysis of 40 agent safety benchmarks, finding broad but shallow risk coverage, no ranking concordance across evaluations, and that benchmark choice systematically alters reported safety.

Introduces MCP-TDP benchmark showing near-100% attack success on models like GPT-4o for tool description poisoning and proposes reactive self-correction defense.
Coding agents struggle to infer least-privilege file permissions by omitting needed accesses while granting unused or sensitive ones, but Sufficiency-Tightness Decomposition improves sensitive-task success by up to 15.8% and reduces attacks.
GrantBox evaluates LLM agents using real-world tools and finds they remain vulnerable to sophisticated prompt injection attacks with an 84.80% average success rate.
ADR is a three-component detection system for AI agents that combines telemetry sensors, red teaming, and two-tier detection, achieving 97.2% precision in a ten-month Uber deployment and outperforming baselines on the new ADR-Bench.
Content embeddings from SBERT enable AUROC above 0.89 for attack detection in MCP tool-call sessions, with tree ensembles on pooled embeddings reaching 0.975 and outperforming GNNs when using task-stratified splits instead of random ones.
A synthesis of 247 papers on LLM agent security identifies prompt injection and tool hijacking as dominant threats, notes weakly compositional defenses, and argues for trust boundaries and realistic evaluations.
