## Key Innovation
Agent safety is moving from content moderation toward preventing operational failures before tool-using agents act. We propose Janus, a foresight-oriented framework for long-horizon agent safety that trains guards to anticipate delayed risks from partial trajectories. Janus synthesizes diverse agent trajectories via multi-agent simulation and learns a shared policy with two coupled tasks: an anticipation task that forecasts safety-relevant futures and an adjudication task that decides safety fro...

## Potential Application
This paper presents advancements that could be applied to enhance agent capabilities in the areas of cs.AI, cs.CL, cs.CR.
