Record completeness
Claims
On 402 real-world skills, Sefz finds specification violations in 120 (29.9%), including 26 previously unknown exploitable guardrail violations in deployed skills.
That translating natural-language guardrails into deterministic reachability goals over execution traces accurately captures the intended semantics without introducing false violations or missing real ones.
Sefz discovers specification violations in 29.9% of 402 real-world agent skills by translating guardrails into reachability goals and guiding LLM mutations with a multi-armed bandit.
