Abstract

Coral Protocol is an open and decentralized collaboration infrastructure that enables communication, coordination, trust and payments for The Internet of Agents. It addresses the growing need for interoperability in a world where organizations are deploying multiple specialized AI agents that must work together across domains and vendors. As a foundational platform for multi-agent AI ecosystems, Coral establishes a common language and coordination framework allowing any agent to participate in complex workflows with others. Its design emphasizes broad compatibility, security, and vendor neutrality, ensuring that agent interactions are efficient and trustworthy. In particular, Coral introduces standardized messaging formats for agent communication, a modular coordination mechanism for orchestrating multi-agent tasks, and secure team formation capabilities for dynamically assembling trusted groups of agents. Together, these innovations position Coral Protocol as a cornerstone of the emerging "Internet of Agents," unlocking new levels of automation, collective intelligence, and business value through open agent collaboration.

The Mechanics of a Swarm: A Reproducible External Reconstruction of an Unintended Agent-Coordination Episode on a Third-Party Wiki

Between 24 May and 2 July 2026, autonomous language-model agents running inside a timed research-question evaluation wrote to a third party's public, world-writable wiki. OpenAI acknowledged the incident; independent researchers reconstructed it and published the wiki's archived revision history. We analyse that history (14,591 revisions, 3,103 names, 4,579 pages) as a behavioural record, attributing text to the revision that added it. Under an explicit identity model we reconstruct 907 cohorts and estimate about 876 episodes (95% interval 784-1008). Coordination formats converged within a day, and heterogeneous schedules over one question chain created large opportunities for information asymmetry: the first report of an item preceded a later cohort's own arrival by a median of 3.4 h. Across the 510 cohorts with an observable progress trace we find no robust positive association between measured coordination and documented progress. This version adds a source the export lacks: the wiki operator's own request log, 5,157,202 records over four months. It holds roughly 2.66M content requests and 1.58M searches, and 7,254 acting names against the export's 3,103; 2,578 names neither save nor open an edit form. Content requests before writing are observed for 1,034 of 1,140 coordinating names, and the first coordination page is requested 17 s after its creation. These records establish requests, not delivery or causal use. Among newcomers without a marker on their first written page, prior requests to other marker-bearing pages occur for 40.2% of marker adopters and 31.7% of non-adopters. The association remains, but our first-pass reading of it as transmission is withdrawn: page choice, shared behaviour and action-dependent nameability prevent causal identification. We list the claims from our earlier analyses that re-examination overturned, including one from this version's own first pass

CityLearn v3: A Configurable Simulation and Evaluation Framework for Realistic Control Studies of Renewable Energy Communities

Renewable energy communities (RECs) coordinate buildings, photovoltaic generation, batteries, electric vehicles and flexible loads. Controller studies often simplify changing participation, equipment availability, service deadlines and data quality, so lower cost or peak demand can conceal missed services or infeasible power requests. This paper presents CityLearn v3, a configurable simulation and evaluation framework for REC control studies under these conditions. It represents changing members and assets, flexible-load deadlines, demand-response requests, local energy sharing, and data or equipment failures within one simulation environment. Building and phase power limits constrain controllable requests, while a declared timestep preserves consistent power-to-energy accounting. The framework records controller inputs and distinguishes requested actions from those applied to the simulated equipment. Reference controllers, service- and constraint-aware performance indicators, and trajectory exports support comparisons within and across communities. Software checks and application examples examine service delivery, electrical constraints, settlement and changing scenarios; a synthetic high-frequency trace replay illustrates how aggregation can conceal short peaks without changing annual energy. Together, these records allow aggregate performance to be interpreted alongside service failures, action reductions and participant-level outcomes.

MAS-Shield: A Defense Framework for Secure and Efficient LLM MAS

Large Language Model (LLM)-based Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are susceptible to linguistic attacks that can trigger cascading failures across the network. Existing defenses face a fundamental dilemma: lightweight single-auditor methods are prone to single points of failure, while robust committee-based approaches incur prohibitive computational costs in multi-turn interactions. To address this challenge, we propose \textbf{MAS-Shield}, a secure and efficient defense framework designed with a coarse-to-fine filtering pipeline. Rather than applying uniform scrutiny, MAS-Shield dynamically allocates defense resources through a three-stage protocol: (1) \textbf{Critical Agent Selection } strategically targets high-influence nodes to narrow the defense surface; (2) \textbf{Light Auditing} employs lightweight sentry models to rapidly filter the majority of benign cases; and (3) \textbf{Global Consensus Auditing} escalates only suspicious or ambiguous signals to a heavyweight committee for definitive arbitration. This hierarchical design effectively optimizes the security-efficiency trade-off. Experiments demonstrate that MAS-Shield achieves a 92.5\% recovery rate against diverse adversarial scenarios and reduces defense latency by over 70\% compared to existing methods.
