TL;DR

A principled restriction of intervention admissibility via Resource-Aware SCMs (R-SCMs), which equip models with agent-controlled endogenous variables, enablement predicates evaluated against the acting agent’s observation, and consumable resources modelled by a partial commutative monoid is proposed.

CausalCACTUS: A Causally Consistent and Context-Aware Framework for Counterfactual Explanations

Counterfactual explanations have been proposed to provide actionable insights for complex black-box classifiers by suggesting “what-if” explanations that alter undesirable prediction outcomes to desired ones. Recent advances have emphasized desirable properties such as causality, plausibility, and contextual alignment;...

AgentBoundary: Counterfactual Evaluation of Safety in Tool-Using LLM Agents

This work introduces AgentBound, the first four-way counterfactual generation-and-evaluation framework for tool-using agent safety, and shows that effective agentic alignment requires action decisions to track permission-relevant execution evidence, rather than refusal strength alone.

A Computationally Feasible Framework for Causal Probabilistic Explanation

Probabilistic Causal Impact (PCI) builds on actual causality and on Pearl's notions of probability of necessity and sufficiency, but recasts the question of explainability as an estimation problem on a probabilistic causal model that is easily approximated via Monte Carlo.

Who Can Undo the Agent? Redressability as a First-Class Safety Property for Tool-Using AI Agents

Tool-using AI agents increasingly act inside institutional workflows by updating records, sending notices, changing account status, scheduling services, and triggering review processes. Existing agent-safety evaluations largely ask whether agents avoid harmful actions. Deployed institutions must also determine whether...

Counterfactual Reasoning for Responsibility Attribution in Probabilistic Multi-Agent Systems

This work introduces a notion of retrospective (backward) counterfactual responsibility, which quantifies an agent's accountability for outcomes resulting from a given strategy profile, and demonstrates how to compute stable strategy profiles in which agents trade off responsibility against expected reward.
