  "summary": "Tool-augmented LLM agents must rely on untrusted runtime Observations to complete open-ended tasks; however, when tool outputs no longer merely provide data but begin to specify concrete actions, they effectively become ``commands'' that can drive real-world side effects beyond user intent. We argue that this risk arises from conflating action induction with execution authorization. To address…",
