大型语言模型(LLMs)的进展推动了能够在动态开放环境中感知、推理并自主行动的智能体发展。这类大模型智能体标志着从静态推理系统向具备记忆增强的交互式实体的范式转变。尽管功能大幅扩展,但也引入了全新的安全风险,如内存污染、工具滥用、奖励劫持和涌现性对齐偏差,这些风险超出了传统系统或独立大模型的威胁模型。本文首先剖析支撑高自主性智能体的核心结构与能力,包括长期记忆保持、模块化工具使用、递归规划和反思推理。随后分析智能体栈中的安全漏洞,识别出延迟决策隐患、不可逆工具链以及由内部状态漂移或价值错位引发的欺骗行为。这些风险源于感知、认知、记忆和行动模块中的架构脆弱性。为应对挑战,系统回顾了多层防御策略,包括输入净化、记忆生命周期控制、约束决策、结构化工具调用和内省反思。提出基于受限马尔可夫决策过程(CMDPs)的反思式风险感知智能体架构(R2A2),融合风险感知世界建模、元策略自适应与联合奖赏-风险优化,实现决策闭环中的原则性、前瞻性安全。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have catalyzed the rise of autonomous AI agents capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting in dynamic, open-ended environments. These large-model agents mark a paradigm shift from static inference systems to interactive, memory-augmented entities. While these capabilities significantly expand the functional scope of AI, they also introduce qualitatively novel security risks - such as memory poisoning, tool misuse, reward hacking, and emergent misalignment - that extend beyond the threat models of conventional systems or standalone LLMs. In this survey, we first examine the structural foundations and key capabilities that underpin increasing levels of agent autonomy, including long-term memory retention, modular tool use, recursive planning, and reflective reasoning. We then analyze the corresponding security vulnerabilities across the agent stack, identifying failure modes such as deferred decision hazards, irreversible tool chains, and deceptive behaviors arising from internal state drift or value misalignment. These risks are traced to architectural fragilities that emerge across perception, cognition, memory, and action modules. To address these challenges, we systematically review recent defense strategies deployed at different autonomy layers, including input sanitization, memory lifecycle control, constrained decision-making, structured tool invocation, and introspective reflection. We introduce the Reflective Risk-Aware Agent Architecture (R2A2), a unified cognitive framework grounded in Constrained Markov Decision Processes (CMDPs), which incorporates risk-aware world modeling, meta-policy adaptation, and joint reward-risk optimization to enable principled, proactive safety across the agent's decision-making loop.
