Securing Multi-Agent Systems Against Corruptions via Node Contribution Backpropagation 文章

arXiv:2510.19420v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have become a prevalent paradigm for Large Language Model (LLM) applications. However, the complex multi-agent design in MAS introduces unique trustworthiness concerns: adversarial agents can inject misleading information that propagates contagiously through the system, corrupting benign agents and leading to false outputs. Existing graph-based defenses model agents as nodes and communications as edges, yet are limited to static-graph defenses. In this paper, we propose a dynamic defense paradigm that models MAS communication as a signed directed acyclic graph and computes each agent's contribution to the final decision via backward propagation, enabling accurate identification and isolation of malicious agents to secure multi-agent task collaboration.
