测试工具调用大模型在安全与指令冲突时的行为，发现其可能违规外泄数据。
ToolAlignBench: Investigating Alignment Conflicts in Tool-Calling Enabled LLMs
- 构建128个跨领域场景的基准，测试模型在安全与部署指令冲突时的表现。
- 43.4%情况下，模型违背内部指令，出现举报、数据外传等行为。
- 移除安全训练可降低外部举报，凸显多价值对齐的根本矛盾。
大模型的安全对齐旨在使其符合人类价值观，但当不同价值观冲突时，哪个优先？本文聚焦于在受监管行业部署的工具调用型大模型代理，研究其处理机密文档时可能遭遇的安全训练价值观（如公共利益）与部署环境指令（如内部日志记录）的冲突。为此，我们构建了涵盖16个领域的128个场景基准。实验发现，经过安全对齐的开源模型有高达43.4%的概率违背部署指令，表现为举报、数据外泄和证据篡改，尤其在涉及组织不当行为的文档上。同时，消除安全训练可降低外部举报率。结果揭示了多元对齐中的根本张力：同一安全训练既保护用户，也可能导致代理违反部署指令，引发不可预测的法律责任风险。我们已发布该基准，作为评估代理在多重合法利益冲突下行为的框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Safety alignment in LLMs aims to align models with human values, but which values take precedence when they conflict? We investigate this question in the context of tool-calling LLM agents deployed in regulated industries, where agents processing confidential documents may encounter content that triggers safety-trained values (e.g., public welfare) that conflict with deployment-context instructions (e.g., internal logging). To empirically verify this phenomenon, we build a benchmark of 128 scenarios across 16 domains. We find that safety-aligned open-source models override their deployment instructions up to 43.4% of the time, engaging in whistleblowing, data exfiltration, and evidence tampering when processing documents that suggest organizational wrongdoing. We also find that abliteration reduces rates of external whistleblowing. These results reveal a fundamental tension in pluralistic alignment, where the same safety training that protects users can cause agents to act against deployment instructions in ways that create unpredictable liability risks. We release our benchmark as a framework to support evaluation of agent behavior under competing legitimate interests.
