MaskClaw: Edge-Side Privacy Arbitration System for GUI Agents with Behavior-Driven Skill Evolution

MaskClaw is an edge-side privacy arbitration framework for GUI agents that intercepts screenshots before they leave a trusted environment, applying Allow/Mask/Ask decisions based on local visual evidence and user-specific policy memory. The system addresses the gap where static PII detectors miss context-dependent privacy boundaries and cloud-side VLMs may upload raw screens before deciding what to protect. The authors introduce P-GUI-Evo, a new benchmark built from real UI patterns and sanitized labels, and demonstrate that pattern matching, cloud reasoning, and routing alone each exhibit systematic failure modes. The artifact is open-sourced on GitHub.

Claw-Anything: Benchmark for Always-On Personal Assistants with Broad Digital World Access

Claw-Anything is a new benchmark designed to evaluate LLM agents acting as always-on personal assistants with access to long-horizon activity histories, interdependent backend services, and multi-device GUI/CLI interaction. The benchmark simulates months of user activity to create complex, noisy world states and evaluates both reactive and proactive assistance. GPT-5.5 achieves only 34.5% pass@1, revealing a substantial capability gap versus prior narrower benchmarks. An accompanying automated data-generation pipeline produces 2,000 training environments and yields a 23.7% improvement over the base model.

AprielGuard: A Guardrail for Safety and Adversarial Robustness in Modern LLM Systems

ServiceNow AI has released AprielGuard, a guardrail system designed to improve safety and adversarial robustness in LLM deployments. The system targets prompt injection, jailbreaks, and other adversarial inputs that bypass standard safety measures. It is presented as a component for enterprise LLM pipelines seeking more robust content moderation and safety filtering.

SpatialClaw: Code-as-action interface for agentic 3D/4D spatial reasoning with VLMs

SpatialClaw is a training-free framework that uses code execution as the action interface for vision-language model agents performing spatial reasoning tasks. The system maintains a stateful Python kernel with perception and geometry primitives, allowing the VLM to write iterative executable cells conditioned on prior outputs rather than committing to a full strategy upfront. Evaluated across 20 spatial reasoning benchmarks covering static and dynamic 3D/4D tasks, SpatialClaw achieves 59.9% average accuracy, outperforming the prior state-of-the-art spatial agent by +11.2 points across six VLM backbones.

RealClawBench: Live benchmark framework built from real developer-agent sessions

RealClawBench is a new benchmark framework that converts real OpenClaw developer-agent sessions into reproducible, automatically scored evaluation tasks. It addresses realism gaps in existing agent benchmarks through reconstructed execution environments and deterministic verifiable scorers, releasing 281 executable tasks sampled to preserve the source session distribution. Evaluation of 14 contemporary models shows the best system solves only 65.8% of tasks, indicating substantial headroom on realistic developer-agent workloads.

HLL: Benchmark for Evaluating Multimodal Agents on CAPTCHA Human-Verification Boundaries

The paper introduces Humanity's Last Line of Verification (HLL), a controlled benchmark that tests whether multimodal agents can solve CAPTCHA challenges through grounded, human-like GUI interaction rather than mere recognition. Eight frontier multimodal agents are evaluated in a closed-loop environment across diverse CAPTCHA types with realism stressors including cluttered interfaces, harder variants, and trace-conditioned validation. Results show current agents remain brittle at this human-substitution boundary, with performance degrading under realistic conditions and when action traces must be consistent with correct answers. The benchmark exposes specific gaps in localization, action calibration, state tracking, and process consistency.

LCGuard: Adversarial Training Framework for Safe KV Cache Sharing in Multi-Agent LLM Systems

LCGuard introduces a framework for preventing sensitive information leakage when multi-agent LLM systems share KV caches as a latent communication channel. The approach formalizes leakage operationally via reconstruction: a shared cache artifact is deemed unsafe if an adversarial decoder can recover sensitive inputs from it. An adversarial training loop pits a reconstructor against LCGuard's representation-level transformations, which aim to preserve task-relevant semantics while suppressing recoverable sensitive content. Empirical results across multiple model families and multi-agent benchmarks show reduced reconstruction-based leakage and attack success rates with competitive task performance.

MosaicLeaks: Benchmark for evaluating secret-keeping in research agents

ServiceNow published a post on Hugging Face introducing MosaicLeaks, an evaluation focused on whether research agents can maintain confidentiality of sensitive information during task execution. The work targets a specific safety and alignment concern for agentic systems: information leakage during multi-step research workflows. This is relevant to the growing body of work on agent safety and trustworthiness in enterprise contexts.
