Abstract
Large Language Model (LLM)-powered agents demonstrate strong capabilities in autonomous task execution, tool use, and multi-step reasoning. However, their increasing autonomy also introduces a new attack surface: adversarial interactions can manipulate agent behavior through direct prompt injection, indirect content attacks, and multi-turn escalation strategies. Existing defense strategies focus on prompt-level filtering and rule-based guardrails, which are often insufficient when risk emerges gradually across interaction sequences. In this work, we propose a complementary defense mechanism: a low-latency fraud detection layer for detecting adversarial interaction patterns in LLM-powered agents. Instead of determining whether a single prompt is malicious, our approach models risk over interaction trajectories using structured runtime features derived from prompt characteristics, session dynamics, tool usage, execution context, and fraud-
