Two Papers Warn That Safe LLMs Do Not Compose Into Safe Multi-Agent Systems
ChannelGuard shows every hop between agents is an unmonitored injection channel, while ChainWatch proposes kill-chain-aligned detection for attacks on Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool systems.
Two security papers converge on the same weakness in agent architectures. ChannelGuard argues that safe models do not compose into safe multi-agent systems. A pipeline of planner, worker agents, verifier, and synthesizer creates an unmonito…
