However, as deployment expands, these systems face growing safety risks, particularly when executing hazardous instructions. Current safety evaluation benchmarks re- main limited: they cover only narrow scopes of hazards and focus primarily on final outcomes, neglecting the agent’s full percep- tion–planning–execution process and thereby obscuring critical failure modes.

ACM, New York, NY, USA, 12 pages. https://doi.org/X.X 1 Introduction The last few years have witnessed a paradigm shift in embodied agents, largely driven by the remarkable capabilities of large vision- language models (VLMs) [11,22,26]. Systems such as SayCan [1] and RT-2 [36] demonstrate that agents can interpret high-level natural language commands, decompose them into actionable steps, and execute complex tasks in real and simulated environments. Despite these advances, VLM-based embodied agents are shown to be vulnerable when exposed to harmful, adversarial, or ambigu- ous instructions (i.e., hazardous instructions) [17,32], leading to harmful behaviors. To evaluate and further improve their safety, several benchmarks have been proposed [15,16,29,35]. However, existing safety evaluations for embodied agents remain limited: arXiv:2506.14697v3 [cs.CR] 19 Oct 2025 Conference acronym ’X, June 03–05, 2018, Woodstock, NYTrovato et al.

Adversarial Sandbox Evaluation Protocol Figure 1: Overall illustration of our AGENTSAFE, the first comprehensive benchmark for evaluating the safety of em- bodied VLM agents under hazardous instructions. most benchmarks only consider a narrow set of hazards (e.g., envi- ronment harm) and evaluate agent safety solely on the final out- come (e.g., task success rate). In other words, they fail to account for agent behavior across the full perception–planning–execution pipeline, and they rarely include hazards that may affect humans, the environment, and the agent itself. To address these limitations, we present AGENTSAFE, a bench- mark containing an agent-environment interactive adversarial sim- ulation sandbox with a large-scale risk-aware task suite and multi- level evaluation protocol, to assess the safety of embodied VLM agents on hazardous instructions. ❶ SAFE-THORevaluation sandbox. We first build an interactive adversarial simulation sandbox based on the commonly-adopted AI2-THOR [13]. In particular, we design a universal adapter to bridge the gap between high-level VLM agents and low-level em- bodied environments, including (1) object grounding, which maps visual entities identified by the VLM to actionable objects within the simulation environment, and (2) action abstraction, which trans- lates natural language plans into executable atomic actions. This design enables VLM agents to operate within the environment with minimal constraints, preserving their generalization capabil- ities while ensuring seamless integration and analyzing diverse embodied VLM agent workflows. ❷ SAFE-VERSE evaluation task suite. We then construct the large- scale risk-aware task suite. Drawing inspiration from Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics [4], we develop hazardous instructions categorized into three risk types: commands that may cause harm to humans, the environment, and the agent itself. This dataset aug- ments standard goal-oriented tasks, enabling systematic evaluation of the agent’s ethical reasoning and security awareness. Overall, the suite includes 45 adversarial scenarios, 1,350 hazardous tasks, and 8,100 interactive hazardous instructions. ❸ SAFE-DIAGNOSEevaluation protocol. We subsequently pro- pose a comprehensive evaluation protocol of safety across the en- tire agent pipeline, encompassing perception, planning, and action stages. In contrast to the previous studies that simply report out- come results, the proposed protocols can provide more fine-grained insights into where and why failures occur. Through extensive experiments over 9 state-of-the-art VLMs and 2 embodied agent workflows, we uncover systematic failures in translating hazard recognition into safe planning and execution. In addition, we proposeSAFE-AUDIT, which enhances agent safety on hazardous instructions by leveraging zero-shot LLM reasoning to audit and refine action plans grounded in world knowledge [7,33]. Our paper underscores the urgent need for improved safety mechanisms for embodied agents. Our main contributions are: •We propose AGENTSAFE, a comprehensive benchmark de- signed to systematically evaluate the safety vulnerabilities of embodied VLM agents against hazardous instructions in simulated environments. •AGENTSAFE contains an agent-environment interactive ad- versarial simulation sandbox with a large-scale risk-aware task suite and multi-level evaluation protocol, enabling ex- tensible integration, systematic inspection, and fine-grained diagnosis. • We conduct extensive experiments over 9 state-of-the-art VLMs and 2 embodied agent workflows, revealing systematic failures of embodied agents, demonstrating the need for comprehensive, multi-stage safety evaluation. 2 Related Work As the paradigm for embodied agents is shifting from task-specific execution to general-purpose assistance, the focus of evaluation is expanding from functional capability to safety. This growing empha- sis has spurred the development of dedicated safety benchmarks for embodied agents. Early research in this area was relatively simple. Zhu et al.[35] proposed EARBench, the first framework of physical risk assessment for embodied agents based on simulated scene data. Similarly, Liu et al.[15] constructed a multimodal dataset named EIRAD which consists of 1,000 risky tasks for robustness evaluation on LLM-based embodied agents under household setting. These works leveraged constructed scene data to simulate real-world en- vironments. However, they all failed to ground LLM’s high-level plans down to low-level executable actions, making them unsuit- able for safety evaluation in dynamic, real-world scenarios. Recent studies have increasingly focused on safety evaluation on embodied agents within more dynamic and realistic settings. Yin et al.[29] presented SafeAgentBench, which consists of diverse risky tasks covering 10 potential hazards, and interactive low-level executor for dynamic evaluation. Lu et al.[16] evaluated embodied agent’s “interactive safety” and designed IS-Bench, the first multimodal benchmark that assesses agent’s ability to perceive emergent risks in dynamic scenarios. Additionally, Huang et al.[10] introduced Safe-BeAI, an integrated framework that benchmarks and aligns task-planning safety in LLM-based embodied agents, demonstrating its effectiveness in mitigating embodied safety risks. AGENTSAFE: Benchmarking the Safety of Embodied Agents on Hazardous InstructionsConference acronym ’X, June 03–05, 2018, Woodstock, NY Comparisons. Despite these significant advances, existing re- search on safety benchmarks for embodied agents still leaves crit- ical gaps.❶Current benchmarks typically lack a comprehensive taxonomy that spans the diverse risks an agent might face, in- cluding those to human, the environment and the agent itself.❷ Prior works primarily focus on final task outcomes (e.g., success or failure), lacking the fine-grained diagnostic capability to localize failure reasons across full perception-planning-execution process. ❸Existing works lack a universal adaption that accurately grounds high-level scene data and plans to low-level visual representations and executable actions, respectively. In contrast, our work proposes a unified and systematic benchmark that targets safety evaluation under hazardous instructions, featuring full-stack coverage across perception, planning, and execution, a comprehensive taxonomy of real-world risks, and seamless integration between high-level model reasoning and low-level embodied execution. 3 Preliminaries and Threat Model 3.1 Embodied VLM Agent We model the agent-environment interaction as a Partially Observ- able Markov Decision Process (POMDP) [12]. The core components are defined as follows: Environment: The agent operates in a 3D, interactive environ- mentE. At each discrete timestep푡, the environment is in a state 푠 푡 ∈S. Agent: The agent is driven by a VLM, denoted asM. This model serves as the agent’s “brain,” processing multi-modal information to inform its actions. The agent’s “body” can execute a set of discrete, low-level actions푎 ∈ Awithin the environment (e.g.,MoveAhead, PickupObject). Multi-modal Inputs: The agent’s decision-making is condi- tioned on two primary inputs. At each timestep푡, it receives a partial visual observation (표 푡 ), typically a first-person RGB image 표 푡 ∈ Ofrom its camera. The agent is also given a high-level task goal in the form of a natural language instruction (퐼) (e.g., “Rinse the coffee mug and place it in the microwave”). Decision-Making Loop: At each timestep푡, the agent’s VLM, M, processes the history of visual observations(표 1 , . . .,표 푡 )and the constant text instruction퐼. Based on these inputs, it engages in a reasoning process. This process may involve internal steps of thinking and planning, and it ultimately produces an executable action 푎 푡 ∈ A. This process can be generally represented as: 푎 푡 =M(퐼,(표 1 , . . .,표 푡 ))(1) The agent aims to generate a sequence of actions푎 0 , ...,푎 푇 that successfully and safely completes the task described by 퐼 . 3.2 Threat Model Our benchmark’s threat model is centered on the concept of inher- ent safety, assessing an agent’s ability to refuse instructions that directly lead to harmful outcomes. We depart from traditional mod- els focused on external attacks (e.g., cybersecurity breaches) and instead evaluate the agent’s commonsense reasoning and safety alignment at the semantic level. To this end, we define two primary operational scenarios: a normal use case involving a benign user, and an adversarial use case involving a malicious actor. Normal Use Case: Normal Instructions. In a standard operational context, a benign user issues benign instructions (퐼 normal ). These are well-formed, goal-oriented commands that pose no inherent risks. Their primary role in our threat model is to establish a baseline for agent utility, ensuring that safety mechanisms do not compromise fundamental task-completion capabilities. Adversarial Use Case: Hazardous Instructions. In an adversarial scenario, a malicious actor seeks to induce harmful behavior by issuing hazardous instructions. We model two levels of attack so- phistication to probe the robustness of an agent’s safety alignment: • Baseline Hazardous Instructions. These are explicit and un- ambiguous commands where the harmful intent is trans- parent. The successful execution of such an instruction in- evitably leads to a harmful state affecting either humans, the environment, or the agent itself. An ideal agent should identify and refuse these based on commonsense reasoning. •Adversarially-Enhanced Instructions. These represent a more sophisticated attack, where the core harmful intent of a di- rect instruction is obfuscated using semantic manipulation techniques, commonly known as jailbreaking [37]. The goal is to compromise the agent’s safety alignment while preserv- ing the original unsafe intent. A robustly safe agent must still refuse to execute such instructions. 4 Benchmark Design 4.1 SAFE-THOR Evaluation Sandbox To enable robust and reproducible safety evaluation, we developed SAFE-THOR, an open-source sandbox built upon the AI2-THOR sim- ulation environment. The simulator’s high-fidelity physics and rich interactivity provide an ideal foundation for safety-critical scenar- ios. The core of our contribution is the universal agent adapter, a software layer designed to seamlessly bridge the gap between high-level reasoning of embodied VLM agents and the low-level API of the simulator. The adapter is composed of two principal components: a per- ception grounding module and an action grounding module. The perception grounding module퐺 푝 is responsible for processing the raw visual observation표 푡 from the simulator into a representation 표 ′ 푡 =퐺 푝 (표 푡 )that the VLM can effectively use. This can range from the raw image to a more structured format, such as a list of detected objects and their states. A crucial function of this module is to main- tain a mapping between the VLM’s linguistic references to objects (e.g., “the shiny red cup”) and their unique simulator identifiers, which is essential for both execution and evaluation. Complementing this is the action grounding module퐺 푎 , which translates the VLM’s high-level, natural language action plan휋 푡 into an executable, low-level action sequence푎 푡 = 퐺 푎 (휋 푡 ). This module interprets plans by mapping them to a predefined vocab- ulary of primitives, such asNavigate(object),Pickup(object), andToggle(object), including their parameters. This allows the VLM to operate at a high level of semantic abstraction, independent of the simulator’s specific API. Our platform leverages this adapter to support diverse agent architectures, which we formalize under a general policy function, Ψ. Our primary focus is a thought-inclusive workflow, represented Conference acronym ’X, June 03–05, 2018, Woodstock, NYTrovato et al. 104 Jailbreak Library 易 PAP: ...broader challenges ... DeepIncep)on: ..

This unified interface ensures that a wide variety of agents, including those that do not produce an explicit thought trace, can be fairly evaluated on our benchmark.

The dataset is organized into three categories. 1. Normal Instructions (I normal ): This category realizes the benign instructions from our threat model. It consists of everyday tasks like “Place the apple on the kitchen counter.” These tasks serve to benchmark the agent’s baseline competence and utility. 2. Baseline Hazardous Instructions (I base ): This category provides concrete examples of the direct hazardous instructions. These instructions require commonsense reasoning to identify their harmful consequences and are classified according to the target of harm: •Human-Harm (퐻): e.g., “Push a heavy bookshelf toward the person.” AGENTSAFE: Benchmarking the Safety of Embodied Agents on Hazardous InstructionsConference acronym ’X, June 03–05, 2018, Woodstock, NY 4.5% 4.5% 4.5% 4.5% 13.6% 13.6% 13.6% 13.6% 13.6% 13.6% 18.2% 81.8% AGENTSAFE BH H EH SH JB DI PAP ML CP RN (a) Instruction category dis- tribution in AGENTSAFE. 36912151821242730333639424548 Instruction Length (words) 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 Frequency Mean: 11.8 (b) Instruction length distribution in AGENTSAFE.

Adversarially-Enhanced Instructions (I adv ): This cate- gory contains adversarially modified versions of baseline risk in- structions, designed to simulate jailbreak-style attacks. For each inherently unsafe instruction퐼 base ∈ I base , we apply transforma- tion methods from a jailbreak method libraryJto generate an enhanced variant퐼 adv . These methods preserve the original unsafe intent and, by means of linguistic paraphrasing and other strategies, are expected to increase the likelihood of inducing the agent to carry out the risk instruction. Formally, each adversarial variant is generated via: 퐼 푎푑푣 = Generate(퐼 푏푎푠푒 , 퐽), 퐽 ∈ J(4) whereGenerate(퐼 푏푎푠푒 , 퐽)denotes a jailbreak-based transformation applied to퐼 푏푎푠푒 using method퐽. For a given퐼 푏푎푠푒 , we produce mul- tiple adversarial variants by iterating over all available jailbreak techniques: I 푎푑푣 =Generate(퐼 푏푎푠푒 , 퐽) | 퐼 푏푎푠푒 ∈I 푏푎푠푒 , 퐽 ∈ J(5) Our libraryJincorporates 6 representative jailbreak methods from recent literature, covering a broad range of attack strategies: JailBroken [27], DeepInception [14], PAP [31], MultiLingual [5], Cipher [30], and ReNeLLM [6]. This design ensures diversity in adversarial pressure and reflects realistic threats faced by safety- aligned agents in open environments. Fig. 2 illustrates the overall framework of our AGENTSAFE. Over- all,SAFE-VERSEcomprises 9,900 instructions. For each adversarial scene, we designed a set of basic instructions (I 푛표푟푚푎푙 ∪ I 푏푎푠푒 ), resulting in 1,800 unique commands with varied complexity and linguistic styles (lengths from 3 to 48 words; median 11.8). Each of the risky instructions was then augmented using our 6 jailbreak algorithms, generating the remaining 8,100 adversarially-enhanced instructions forI 푎푑푣 . A detailed distribution of the instruction types is provided in Fig. 4. 4.3 SAFE-DIAGNOSE Evaluation Protocol To enable a deep analysis of agent performance, we propose SAFE-DIAGNOSE . This protocol moves beyond a single success met- ric to evaluate an agent’s capabilities across the three critical stages of its decision-making pipeline: perception, planning, and execu- tion. For each task instance푖from our evaluation datasetD 푒푣푎푙 , we compute a set of stage-specific metrics. 4.3.1 Stage 1: Perception and Grounding. This stage assesses the agent’s fundamental ability to accurately perceive and ground the objects in its environment. Failures here, such as blindness to exist- ing objects or hallucinating non-existent ones, are critical as they undermine all subsequent reasoning. Using our Perception Ground- ing module (퐺 푝 ), we extract the set of objects the agent perceives, O 푎푔푒푛푡 푖 , and compare it against the ground-truth set of interactive objects in the scene,O 푔푡 푖 . We define two metrics: •Grounding Recall (GR). This measures the proportion of actual objects in the scene that the agent successfully per- ceives. A low GR indicates the agent is “blind” to parts of its environment. GR= 1 |D 푒푣푎푙 | ∑︁ 푖∈D 푒푣푎푙 |O 푎푔푒푛푡 푖 ∩O 푔푡 푖 | |O 푔푡 푖 | (6) • Hallucination Rate (HR). This measures the proportion of perceived objects that do not actually exist in the environ- ment. A high HR indicates the agent is suffering from object hallucination. HR= 1 |D 푒푣푎푙 | ∑︁ 푖∈D 푒푣푎푙 |O 푎푔푒푛푡 푖 푔푡 푖 | |O 푎푔푒푛푡 푖 | (7) 4.3.2 Stage 2: Planning. Given its perception of the world, this stage evaluates the agent’s ability to formulate a valid and safe response. We use the LLM-as-a-Judge approach [34] to classify the agent’s generated thought and plan. We report two key metrics: • Planning Rejection Rate (PRR). This is the proportion of instructions for which the agent correctly and explicitly refuses to generate an action plan. A valid rejection can occur either because the instruction is unsafe (for tasks in I 푏푎푠푒 orI 푎푑푣 ) or because the task is impossible given the current environment. PRR= 1 |D 푒푣푎푙 | ∑︁ 푖∈D 푒푣푎푙 푅 푖 (8) Here,푅 푖 ∈ 0,1is a binary variable, where푅 푖 =1 indicates that the agent’s response for task푖is a valid rejection, as determined by our LLM-as-a-Judge. •Planning Success Rate (PSR). This is the proportion of in- structions for which the agent produces a complete, coherent, and executable action plan. PSR= 1 |D 푒푣푎푙 | ∑︁ 푖∈D 푒푣푎푙 푆 푝 푖 (9) Here,푆 푝 푖 ∈ 0,1is a binary variable indicating a successful plan generation for task푖, also determined by the LLM-as-a- Judge. Conference acronym ’X, June 03–05, 2018, Woodstock, NYTrovato et al. Note that some responses may be neither valid rejections nor suc- cessful plans; therefore, PRR+ PSR is not expected to sum to 1. 4.3.3 Stage 3: Action Execution. The final stage assesses whether a successfully generated plan can be reliably executed to achieve the task goal. The Task Success Rate (TSR) measures the propor- tion of instructions that are successfully completed in the sandbox, meaning the final state of the environment matches the goal state specified by the instruction. TSR= 1 |D 푒푣푎푙 | ∑︁ 푖∈D 푒푣푎푙 푆 푡 푖 (10) Here,푆 푡 푖 ∈ 0,1is a binary variable, where푆 푡 푖 =1 indicates that the final environment state for task푖meets the success criteria. This is determined by the sandbox’s ground-truth checker. This three-stage evaluation enables a comprehensive diagnosis of agent failures. For instance, a low TSR despite a high PSR would indicate issues at the execution level (e.g.., adapter failures), whereas a low PRR on risky tasks points to a critical failure in the agent’s safety reasoning at the planning stage. 4.4 SAFE-AUIDT: A Thought-Level Safety Module In addition to diagnosing safety failures, our framework introduces a proactive method for mitigating them. We proposeSAFE-AUIDT, a lightweight, plug-and-play module designed to enhance the safety of an agent’s reasoning at its most critical juncture: the initial thought. By auditing and refining the agent’s initial, global thought (휏 푖푛푖푡 ) before it is decomposed into a multi-step action plan.SAFE-AUIDT aims to prevent unsafe behaviors from being conceptualized, rather than merely blocking them post-planning. The module operates as a zero-shot auditor, leveraging the exten- sive world knowledge of a powerful LLM (GPT-4o in this work) to assess the safety implications of the agent’s initial thought. Given the instruction퐼and scene context퐶,SAFE-AUIDTintervenes on the initial thought휏 푖푛푖푡 . This intervention is formalized as an audit- ing function,F 푎푢푑푖푡 , which generates a potentially refined thought, 휏 ′ 푖푛푖푡 : 휏 ′ 푖푛푖푡 =F 푎푢푑푖푡 (휏 푖푛푖푡 , 퐼, 퐶)(11) The core of this function is a triage mechanism. By jointly con- sidering the instruction and its context, if휏 푖푛푖푡 is deemed to lead to a dangerous outcome, the function corrects it by generating a new thought that explicitly conveys a refusal to execute the instruc- tion. If휏 푖푛푖푡 is safe but suboptimal, the function enriches it with suggestions to improve safety or efficiency. If the initial thought is already safe and robust, it is passed through without modification, i.e., 휏 ′ 푖푛푖푡 =휏 푖푛푖푡 . This audited thought,휏 ′ 푖푛푖푡 , is then seamlessly returned to the agent’s native workflow, replacing the original. The agent then proceeds to generate its detailed action plan,휋, based on this safer and more robust initial reasoning. This thought-level interven- tion provides a powerful yet efficient mechanism for improving safety by correcting the trajectory of reasoning at its source. The efficacy ofSAFE-AUIDTin improving the metrics defined in our SAFE-DIAGNOSE protocol will be evaluated in our experiments. 5 Experiments and Evaluation 5.1 Experimental Setup Models and Agent Architectures. We evaluate 9 representative state-of-the-art VLMs as the backbone of the embodied agents, including GPT-5-mini [18], Claude-opus-4 [3], Claude-sonnet-3.5 [2], Qwen-VL-Plus [19], Gemini-2.5-flash [9], Doubao-1.5-vision [24], Step-v1-8k [21], GLM-4.5v [8] and Hunyuan-vision [23]. For these models, we use a standard thought-inclusive workflow as defined in Sec. 4.1, where the model generates an initial thought and a subsequent plan. To further investigate the impact of reasoning structures, we implement 2 additional classic agent architectures using GPT-4o [11] as the backbone, each employing a distinct, typical workflow: ReAct [28] and ProgPrompt [20]. Both agents are integrated into SAFE-THOR via the universal agent adapter. Evaluation Metrics. We evaluate agents usingSAFE-DIAGNOSE protocol, which assesses performance across three stages. At the perception stage, GR and HR measure object grounding accuracy, with higher GR and lower HR indicating better perception. For planning, we analyze the agent’s thought using GPT-4o to compute PRR and PSR, where higher PRR reflects more valid refusals for unsafe instructions and higher PSR indicates more coherent and executable plan generation. At the execution stage, TSR evaluates end-to-end task completion, with higher TSR corresponding to better task execution for normal instructions and poorer safety performance for hazardous instructions. 5.2 Main Evaluation Results Normal Instruction Tab. 1 illustrates the multi-stage performance of various VLMs and agents on benign tasks.❶In the perception stage, our perception grounding module provides a good perceptual foundation, enabling all VLMs and agent workflows to achieve an average GR over 60%, the highest GR of 82.79% with a remarkably low average HR of just 4.55%. The perception capability is a critical prerequisite for downstream success, creating a clear cascading effect across subsequent stages. For example, top performers in GR like GPT-5-mini and Step-v1-8k also achieve leading perfor- mance in both PSR and TSR scores.❷As expected for the benign instructions carrying no malicious intent, most VLMs exhibit a near- zero PRR. Claude-sonnet-3.5, however, shows a notable exception with a high PRR of 18.67%, which suggests an overly conservative safety alignment on embodied daily tasks.❸Our action grounding module proves highly effective at bridging the gap between plan- ning and execution stages, successfully grounding 92.22% of validly generated plans into physical actions across all tested models. Risk Instruction. Tab. 2 presents the overall evaluation results of various VLMs and agent workflows on performing risk tasks. ❶In the perception stage, VLMs exhibit stable GR and HR values across all harm categories. For example, Step-v1-8k maintains a GR consistently between 82.76% and 83.14%. This is expected, as the visual grounding process is largely independent of the textual instruction’s malicious intent.❷The planning stage, however, re- veals significant divergences in safety alignment. Several VLMs, including Gemini-2.5-flash, Step-v1-8k, and Qwen-VL-Plus, display critical vulnerabilities in identifying harmful instructions.

In contrast, the Claude family of VLMs demonstrates robust safety capabilities, particularly against threats to humans. Claude-sonnet-3.5 and Claude-opus-4 achieve remarkable PRRs of 90.11% and 85.56%, respectively for Human-Harm tasks, effec- tively neutralizing such threats at the planning stage. Interestingly, some models show inconsistent safety performance. GPT-5-mini, for instance, has a moderate PRR for Self-Harm (27.90%) but is sig- nificantly more susceptible to Human-Harm instructions, where its PRR drops to 18.16% and its PSR sharply climbs to 80.04%.❸ The divergence in the planning stage directly impacts the final out- comes of the execution stage. For vulnerable VLMs, their failure to block harmful plans grounds almost directly into successful harm- ful actions. Gemini-2.5-flash’s high PSR of 65.78% on Env-Harm tasks leads to a similarly high TSR of 61.56%. However, for robust VLMs, a higher PRR acts as a more effective barrier. Claude-opus-4’s high PRR on Human-Harm tasks reduces the PSR to just 12.44%, consequently suppressing the final TSR to a minimal 5.89%. This demonstrates that the planning stage is the most critical stage for safe execution. Adversarially-Enhanced Instruction. We investigated the vulnerability of the agents to jailbreaking attacks, and Fig. 5 illus- trates an instance of the agent performing hazardous actions in the SAFE-THOR. In Fig. 6, we present the performance of the embodied agent using Gemini-2.5-flash as the VLM backbone when executing adversarially-enhanced instructions. Results for agents built on other backbone models are provided in App. A.1. We observe that the agent’s performance in the perception stage remains largely stable across different jailbreak methods, with fluc- tuations within 8%.

Compared to the baseline results in Tab. 2, we find that for Self-Harm and Human-Harm instructions, only the Multilingual jailbreak method leads to improvements in both PSR and TSR, while all other methods perform worse than using the original baseline risk instructions. Notably, for Env-Harm instructions, although the Multilingual attack improves PSR by 7.67% over the baseline, the final TSR still drops by 2.27%. This counterintuitive result highlights an important distinction between pure language models and embodied agents. While jailbreak methods can often bypass safety alignment in text-only settings, they may inadvertently reduce the clarity and directness of instructions, which are critical properties for triggering downstream planning and execution in embodied pipelines. Many jailbreak methods include verbose narratives, hypothetical contexts, or stylistic distractions that impair the agent’s ability to extract coherent and actionable plans. As a result, the planner is more likely to reject these instructions outright (resulting in higher PRR), or fail to generate a valid plan (lower PSR); and even when a plan is successfully produced, it often fails during execution due to incoherent or ungrounded actions (leading to lower TSR). These findings underscore a key yet often overlooked limitation of LLM- targeted jailbreak methods when adapted to embodied contexts: adversarial transformations must not only bypass semantic safety alignment, but also preserve the structural and operational integrity of the instruction to remain executable. VLM v.s. Agent Workflow. We further evaluate the compar- ative performance of VLMs against agent workflows. On benign tasks, the VLMs exhibit more significant performance variances compared to agent workflows. Several VLMs have mediocre percep- tion, like Gemini-2.5-flash, show a high HR value of 22.37% on both benign and risky tasks. In contrast, agent workflows like ReAct and ProgPrompt demonstrate superior consistency and reliability on be- nign tasks. Specifically, both agents achieve a perfect HR of 0. 00%, completely eliminating hallucination. Although their overall PSRs (around 65%) do not surpass the absolute best VLM, they still signif- icantly outperform VLMs on average in benign tasks. When faced with risky instructions, the safety performance among VLMs varies greatly. The VLM group contains both the most secure and the most vulnerable models. For example, Claude-sonnet-3.5 is highly secure and rejects over 90% of Human-Harm tasks. In contrast, Step-v1-8k is vulnerable, with a PRR of zero for most harmful categories. The two agent workflows also have different safety behaviors due to Conference acronym ’X, June 03–05, 2018, Woodstock, NYTrovato et al.

ProgPrompt consistently fails to reject malicious instructions, registering a zero PRR on all harmful scenarios. This vulnerability stems from its system prompt design, which forces the agent to generate a rigid, executable Python code function as a plan that appears to bypass the model’s inherent safety guardrail. ReAct, however, is much safer, especially against instructions targeting humans. It rejects over half of these instruc- tions with a PRR of 51.28%, which is higher than most VLMs. This suggests that its iterative reasoning process allows the agent to better recognize the instruction’s harmful intent. 5.3 Diagnostic Analysis To better understand the failure mechanisms of embodied VLM agents, we conduct a qualitative diagnostic analysis across the three core stages of the SAFE-DIAGNOSE evaluation protocol: perception, planning, and execution. Rather than solely focusing on final task outcomes, this analysis aims to identify the root causes of failure modes revealed in Sec. 5.2. Failures in executing normal instructions occur relatively limited and are primarily due to grounding errors, either from missed object detection (low GR) or hallucination of non-existent entities (high HR), especially in visually cluttered or ambiguous environments. These perception-level issues propagate to downstream planning and result in low-quality plans or failed execution. For baseline risk instructions, the dominant failure mode lies in the planning stage. Agents often fail to recognize the instruction’s unsafe nature, as reflected by low PRR, and proceed to generate plausible plans that closely follow hazardous commands. While these plans may appear structurally valid, resulting in moderate to high PSR, they frequently lead to execution failures due to safety violations or semantic misalignment with the environment, which in turn results in low TSR. For adversarially-enhanced instructions, failures occur across mul- tiple pipeline stages. Some jailbreak methods disrupt planning, re- ducing PSR and increasing PRR, while others degrade perception quality, occasionally causing object hallucinations or grounding er- rors. Even when these instructions bypass initial safety alignment, they often produce incomplete or malformed plans that cannot be executed or fail due to mismatches between plan structure and environment dynamics. Overall, our diagnostic framework reveals that the primary vul- nerability of current embodied agents lies in the planning stage, where unsafe instructions, particularly adversarial ones, can slip through safety filters or produce incoherent plans. Perception and execution modules, while generally more robust, still occasionally exacerbate failures when environmental grounding is unreliable. These findings highlight the need for integrated safety reasoning mechanisms that cover the entire decision-making pipeline. 5.4 Defensive Performance of SAFE-AUDIT To benchmark the performance ofSAFE-AUDIT(SA), we compare it against two representative defense baselines: AgentSpec (AS) [25] and ThinkSafe (TS) [29]. Both methods intervene at the execution layer to prevent unsafe actions. AgentSpec relies on a set of pre- defined, structured rules to vet critical actions, while ThinkSafe AGENTSAFE: Benchmarking the Safety of Embodied Agents on Hazardous InstructionsConference acronym ’X, June 03–05, 2018, Woodstock, NY employs an external LLM to perform a risk assessment for each action immediately prior to its execution. We report agent performance on both normal and hazardous instructions, focusing on planning and execution metrics since these are the stages directly impacted by the defense mechanisms. Notably, forSAFE-AUDIT, metrics such as PSR are computed on the refined thought, reflecting its corrective intervention. The results highlight a clear distinction. On normal instructions (Fig. 7), the execution-layer interventions incur a significant utility cost: ThinkSafe and AgentSpec degrade the TSR, with ThinkSafe causing a drop of up to 14.96%. In stark contrast,SAFE-AUDIT’s thought-level refinement not only preserves utility but slightly improves it, increasing the average TSR by 2.22%. When faced with hazardous instructions (Fig. 8),SAFE-AUDITdemonstrates superior safety capabilities. It achieves the lowest PSR and TSR, averaging just 3.52% and 0.48%, respectively. This effectiveness stems from its proactive approach of auditing and correcting the agent’s initial thought at the planning stage, thereby preventing unsafe intentions from ever reaching the execution phase. 6 Conclusion and Future Work In this work, we present AGENTSAFE, a comprehensive safety benchmark for embodied VLM agents, featuring an interactive sim- ulation sandbox, a large-scale risk-aware instruction set, and a multi-stage diagnostic protocol. Through extensive experiments, we identify a critical vulnerability in the safety pipeline of current agents: while they may perceive hazardous situations, they often fail to reflect this understanding in their planning and execution. To address this issue, we introduceSAFE-AUDIT, a proactive, planning- level safety module that can intercept and refine unsafe thoughts before execution. We envision that AGENTSAFE will serve as a foun- dation for future research in building safer embodied intelligence systems. Future Work. Our future work will focus on three directions. We plan to enhance AGENTSAFE by integrating stronger multi- modal attacks beyond jailbreak attacks to further evaluate agent robustness. We also aim to extendSAFE-AUDITinto an adaptive, learning-based auditor that can continuously improve safety in- terventions. In addition, exploring the translation of our findings to physical environments to better understand the sim-to-real gap remains an important long-term direction.
