SummaryPaper defines Compositional Policy Violations (CPVs) in agentic AI workflows: individual steps pass compliance checks but the composed execution violates governing policy. Proposes a four-type taxonomy (Authority Creep, Threshold Laundering, Cumulative Sum Violation, Context Collapse) and a provenance-aware runtime architecture for trace-level policy evaluation.
Why it mattersNames a failure class that step-scoped monitors structurally cannot detect, with a taxonomy and runtime architecture for repair. Relevant to anyone governing agentic systems in regulated settings.
