Security and Reliability for Open Agent Systems

Open agent systems are becoming increasingly capable, but their reliability under real-world interaction remains poorly understood. As agents interact with tools, shared interfaces, and other autonomous agents in open environments, failures can emerge through adversarial inputs, unsafe tool use, protocol manipulation, and unreliable counterparties. Shouqiao Wang from Multiscalar Intelligence studies security and reliability in OpenClaw-style agent systems, using adversarial evaluations to identify how these systems break in practice and develop safeguards for more robust deployment.
