  "verbatim_text": "When the attacker-monitor capability gap (Panfilov et al., 2025) is sufficiently large (e.g., GPT-5 vs. GPT-4o-mini), the untrusted model can effortlessly invent working prompt injections on the spot (see Section 3.4). Our results demonstrate that simple prompt injections can fully subvert existing protocols that rely on a monitor."

Our work establishes a standard workflow for MRT, highlighting the lack of adversarial robustness for LLMs and humans when monitoring and detecting agent misbehavior."
