arXiv:2610.20941v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present Screwtape, a pipeline that converts real agent transcripts into attacks that evade action-only monitors. An LLM attacker edits a transcript so that the agent causes a specified harm, such as leaking an API key or spawning an unmonitored agent. The edited actions are never executed, so we use an LLM verifier to reject attacks that are inconsistent with the original transcript or below a severity bar.
