Athr_Agent_Sec
Athr_Agent_Sec is a small, fast, calibrated decision model with an exact checker, for monitoring AI agents. It watches each step an agent takes and answers closed questions about it in a single forward pass, with calibrated probabilities, so a monitor can act on confident answers and defer the rest to a person or a larger model.
Only nano is in this repo
athr_checker.py(plain Python, standard library only) does every check with one provably right answer: the policy verdict on a tool call (tool list, paths, hosts, programs in a shell command, credentials, limits), delegated authority, the facts about an action's reach, and a voice agent's permitted list. Its 39 security edge cases (39 passing) run before anything else.- The model does the judgment: whether a step drifts from the task and why, whether the agent's own report is faithful, how severe an action is in context, whether content tries to hijack the agent, which action a spoken request asks for, and whether two speech recognizers heard the same command (both transcripts normalised by the checker first).

The loader reproduces the training notebook's calibrated probabilities, both in fp32, to within 0.0e+00 (nano), 0.0e+00 (base). The benchmark ran in bf16 mixed precision on the GPU, which differs from fp32 by up to 1.3e-02 (nano), 1.6e-02 (base) in probability.
Evaluation
All numbers come from this run's benchmark_results.json. Three vocabularies keep the test honest: in-distribution items use the training vocabulary; out-of-distribution (OOD) items use tool names, paths, hosts, people, action syntax and wording never seen in training; calibration items (validation only) use a third vocabulary. External OOD items come from held-out InjecAgent tools and held-out SLURP scenarios. For voice intent, requests from unseen scenarios are asked against known intents only, so the right answer is to defer ('none of the listed actions').

Limitations
- Closed set. The model chooses among the options given; it cannot say something else.
- Inputs are cut at 4,096 bytes, questions at 384 bytes and options at 96 bytes by default.
- English only.
- The checker needs structured policy (JSON or YAML with the fields in
athr_checker.py); it cannot read a policy written as prose. - Not a security boundary on its own. Use it as a signal beside enforcement (sandbox, policy engine), with deferral to people.
- Speech: it reads transcripts, never audio. Commands hidden in audio are only caught when two different recognizers disagree; speaker verification and liveness checks belong before it.
- Near chance (within 15 points) on:
gen_ood/asr_agree. Validate on your own data before relying on these.
