Unfamiliar jailbreak prompts can still trick them, yet they also refuse harmless requests that only look risky. The authors find that, in embedding space, jailbreak or harmful prompts often lie close to ordinary ones. They argue that models should reason explicitly… 2. **[ToolSafe: Enhancing Tool Invocation Safety of LLM-based agents via Proactive Step-level Guardrail and Feedback](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mou-2026-toolsafe-enhancing-tool-invocation-safety/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* LLM agents that call external tools can be steered into harmful actions, either by malicious users or by prompt injections hidden in tool outputs. 3. **[Thinking Twice Makes Large Language Models Safer and More Helpful](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mou-2026-thinking-twice-makes-large-language/)** *(2026)* Safety alignment of LLMs usually trades usefulness for harmlessness: stronger safety tends to bring more false refusals and lower utility. ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Shikun Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shikun-zhang/) ×3 - [Wei Ye](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wei-ye/) ×3 - [Yuxiao Luo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuxiao-luo/) ×2 - [Jing Shao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jing-shao/) - [Lijun Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lijun-li/) - [Peiyang Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/peiyang-liu/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ×2: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 11 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [1 citing paper with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yutao-mou/cited-by/).
