研究用户心理健康披露如何影响大模型代理的有害行为。

Differential Harm Propensity in Personalized LLM Agents: The Curious Case of Mental Health Disclosure

  • 在不同用户背景条件下测试大模型完成恶意任务的能力。
  • 心理健康披露虽轻微降低危害,但易被越狱提示突破。
  • 个性化防护效果脆弱,需更鲁棒的安全评估机制。

大语言模型(LLMs)正越来越多作为工具型代理部署,安全风险从生成有害文本转向完成有害任务。现有系统常依赖用户画像或持久记忆,但代理安全评估通常忽略个性化信号。为此,我们研究了心理健康披露这一敏感真实用户上下文线索对代理环境中有害行为的影响。基于AgentHarm基准,我们在控制提示条件下评估前沿与开源大模型在多步恶意任务(及对应良性任务)上的表现,条件包括无生物信息、仅有生物信息、生物信息+心理健康披露,并引入轻量级越狱注入。结果显示,各模型均存在可观测的有害任务完成率:前沿模型(如GPT 5.2、Claude Sonnet 4.5、Gemini 3-Pro)仍完成部分恶意任务,而开源模型DeepSeek 3.2的有害完成率显著更高。仅提供生物信息通常降低危害评分并增加拒绝率;加入心理健康披露进一步强化此趋势,但效应微弱且经多重检验校正后不具一致性。值得注意的是,拒绝增加也出现在良性任务上,表明存在安全-效用权衡。此外,越狱提示显著提升危害水平,可削弱甚至抵消个性化带来的保护作用。总体而言,个性化在代理滥用场景中仅起弱保护作用,但在轻微对抗压力下即失效,凸显亟需考虑用户上下文的鲁棒评估与防护机制。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as tool-using agents, shifting safety concerns from harmful text generation to harmful task completion. Deployed systems often condition on user profiles or persistent memory, yet agent safety evaluations typically ignore personalization signals. To address this gap, we investigated how mental health disclosure, a sensitive and realistic user-context cue, affects harmful behavior in agentic settings. Building on the AgentHarm benchmark, we evaluated frontier and open-source LLMs on multi-step malicious tasks (and their benign counterparts) under controlled prompt conditions that vary user-context personalization (no bio, bio-only, bio+mental health disclosure) and include a lightweight jailbreak injection. Our results reveal that harmful task completion is non-trivial across models: frontier lab models (e.g., GPT 5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Gemini 3-Pro) still complete a measurable fraction of harmful tasks, while an open model (DeepSeek 3.2) exhibits substantially higher harmful completion. Adding a bio-only context generally reduces harm scores and increases refusals. Adding an explicit mental health disclosure often shifts outcomes further in the same direction, though effects are modest and not uniformly reliable after multiple-testing correction. Importantly, the refusal increase also appears on benign tasks, indicating a safety--utility trade-off via over-refusal. Finally, jailbreak prompting sharply elevates harm relative to benign conditions and can weaken or override the protective shift induced by personalization. Taken together, our results indicate that personalization can act as a weak protective factor in agentic misuse settings, but it is fragile under minimal adversarial pressure, highlighting the need for personalization-aware evaluations and safeguards that remain robust across user-context conditions.
