STAGE, an executable-graph framework that confines model judgment to policy-scoped nodes while placing procedural control in deterministic code, improves task success and repeated-run reliability compared with monolithic full-policy execution.
Abstract
Policy-governed agents must interpret case evidence while reliably following authorized procedures. We present STAGE, an executable-graph framework that confines model judgment to policy-scoped nodes while placing procedural control in deterministic code. We evaluate STAGE on three public policy-following benchmarks and Smart Dispute, a proprietary banking benchmark. Compared with monolithic full-policy execution, STAGE improves task success and repeated-run reliability, with its largest observed gains on the deeper workflows. On $\tau^2$-bench Telecom and Smart Dispute, $\mathrm{Pass}^{3}$ improves by up to 55.0 and 65.7 percentage points, respectively. These results demonstrate the value of combining localized policy reasoning with deterministic procedural control for enterprise use.
We study a governed approach to enterprise analytics: a language model interprets the question, while deterministic policy selects and runs a pre-approved analytical program that returns both results and evidence. We show that this restriction can remain expressive within a defined analytical class, using relational op...
This work identifies a state-transmission failure between information extraction and action in large language model agents, and shows how handoff transformations can retain state content while weakening its constraints on downstream action.

PolicyGuide compiles each domain policy into a workflow graph and invokes a proactive verifier at user-turn boundaries and finds the lowest observed attack-success rate under adversarial users and the strongest procedural compliance in an author-designed workflow-level validation.

This work proposes Graph-Regularized Agentic Context Evolution (GRACE), which maintains the persistent instruction component as a typed semantic graph and validates proposed updates within the local typed neighborhoods of modified nodes.
Eluna is a graph-guided, multi-agent framework that encodes SOPs as directed acyclic graphs with progressive disclosure and delegates independent tasks to parallel sub-agents, each with persistent code execution and live data access.

COVENANT is proposed, a compiler-and-interpreter architecture for workflow-aligned agent execution that substantially mitigates workflow misalignment, moving LLM-agent alignment beyond isolated prompt following toward reliable execution of complex and multi-step workflows.

Machine-learning networks can learn without detailed instructions from a designer. Those that do may offer insight into how the brain reorganizes itself during learning.
