The acquisition of agentic capabilities has transformed LLMs from "knowledge providers" to "action executors", a trend that while expanding LLMs' capability boundaries, significantly increases their susceptibility to malicious use. Previous work has shown that current LLM-based agents execute numerous malicious tasks even without being attacked, indicating a deficiency in agentic use safety alignment during the post-training phase. To address this gap, we propose AgentAlign, a novel framework that leverages abstract behavior chains as a medium for safety alignment data synthesis. By instantiating these behavior chains in simulated environments with diverse tool instances, our framework enables the generation of highly authentic and executable instructions while capturing complex multi-step dynamics. The framework further ensures model utility by proportionally synthesizing benign instructions through non-malicious interpretations of behavior chains, precisely calibrating the boundary between helpfulness and harmlessness. Evaluation results on AgentHarm demonstrate that fine-tuning three families of open-source models using our method substantially improves their safety (35.8% to 79.5% improvement) while minimally impacting or even positively enhancing their helpfulness, outperforming various prompting methods. The dataset and code have both been open-sourced.

Cooperative perception has attracted wide attention given its capability to leverage shared information across connected automated vehicles (CAVs) and smart infrastructures to address sensing occlusion and range limitation issues. However, existing research overlooks the fragile multi-sensor correlations in multi-agent settings, as the heterogeneous agent sensor measurements are highly susceptible to environmental factors, leading to weakened inter-agent sensor interactions. The varying operational conditions and other real-world factors inevitably introduce multifactorial noise and consequentially lead to multi-sensor misalignment, making the deployment of multi-agent multi-modality perception particularly challenging in the real world. In this paper, we propose AgentAlign, a real-world heterogeneous agent cross-modality feature alignment framework, to effectively address these multi-modality misalignment issues. Our method introduces a cross-modality feature alignment space (CFAS) and heterogeneous agent feature alignment (HAFA) mechanism to harmonize multi-modality features across various agents dynamically. Additionally, we present a novel V2XSet-noise dataset that simulates realistic sensor imperfections under diverse environmental conditions, facilitating a systematic evaluation of our approach's robustness. Extensive experiments on the V2X-Real and V2XSet-Noise benchmarks demonstrate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance, underscoring its potential for real-world applications in cooperative autonomous driving. The controllable V2XSet-Noise dataset and generation pipeline will be released in the future.
