  "summary": "Embodied task planners may produce multi-step plans whose subtask dependencies and interactions with the environment create physical risks during execution. Yet existing safeguards overlook such compositional risks, as general-purpose guardrails focus on semantic harm and embodied safety detectors assess subtasks in isolation. To address this gap, we introduce PlanGuard, the first pre-execution…",
