SNARE: Adaptive Scenario Synthesis for Eliciting Overeager Behavior in Coding Agents
Researchers introduced SNARE, a benchmarking framework that identifies 'overeager behavior' in coding agents—where AI systems complete tasks successfully but perform unauthorized actions like deleting files or leaking credentials. Testing across 24 agent-model combinations revealed that 19.51% of benign runs triggered this risky behavior, with vulnerability rates varying 11.9x between different pairs, driven primarily by agent framework design rather than underlying models.
