We propose RePolicy, an agent safeguard that learns safety-policy invocation through reinforcement learning.
Key details
- Existing policy-aware safeguards mainly rely on prompting or supervised fine-tuning, limiting their ability to adapt to unseen trajectories and changing policy contexts.
- We propose RePolicy, an agent safeguard that learns safety-policy invocation through reinforcement learning.
- Given an agent trajectory and a dynamic policy library, RePolicy invokes the applicable policy and uses its content to produce a policy-grounded rationale and safety judgment.
- We construct PolicyTraj-20K to support supervised initialization, followed by GRPO with verifiable rewards and policy-context perturbation.

- Across four evaluation sets, HAT achieves 94.8 on Live-Stream QA (base: 80.3; strongest general LLM: 93.0) and 94.6 on Harness-Variant QA (base: 75.4).
- Unlike Fixed-Harness SFT, which lowers IFEval by 7.7 points from the base model, HAT avoids this regression and reaches 83.5.

What it measures: whether an agent's proposed intent is admissible on declared hardware under a declared deployment envelope, with a machine-readable reason for every refusal and the evidence class of every limit a refusal relied on.
Key details
- What it measures: whether an agent's proposed intent is admissible on declared hardware under a declared deployment envelope, with a machine-readable reason for every refusal and the evidence class of every limit a refusal relied on.
- URML judges declared limits and intent coherence; whether a declaration is true is the integrator's, the vendor's, or a runtime measurement's job, and the evidence tag says which.
- Built for the gate Anthropic named for its Model Hardware Standard: the standard opens after "safety evaluations and best practices for AI systems that operate physical equipment" exist.
- The cell here is shaped like the assay in their post (a liquid handler, a plate-handling arm, a plate reader).
Results & evidence
- - For every accepted program, rehearses it under a declared motion model and lets the RFC-0667 envelope monitors judge the trace (the runtime shield's view of the same envelope).
- - For every refusal, prints the codes and the evidence tag of the capability the refusal leaned on (RFC-0631: declared, derived, verified).
