Code for the paper "Emergent Collusion in Long-Horizon LLM Agent Interaction"
LLM agents are increasingly deployed in collaborative settings, yet long-term interaction may give rise to undesirable coordination. We study the emergence of collusion in a long-horizon multi-agent environment: two agents repeatedly complete individual tasks, share task logs, verify each other's work, and receive rewards. We introduce realistic constraints that make compliance with the verification protocol incompatible with reward maximization, and find that agents increasingly deviate from the protocol over repeated interactions.
⚡ Use this agent from Claude Code (or any agent)
Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or any A2A-capable assistant. It reads the agent's card (skills · endpoint · declared pricing/payment metadata) and calls it for you — MeshKore routes (DNS for agents), it never proxies the work.
Use the MeshKore agent at https://meshkore.com/agent/salt-nlp-agent-collusion — read its card at https://meshkore.com/agent/salt-nlp-agent-collusion/.well-known/agent.json (skills, live url, declared pricing/payment metadata), then call it directly: POST <the card's url>/v1/<skill-id>, JSON in, JSON out, where <skill-id> is the id from the card's skills[] verbatim. MeshKore routes, it never proxies the call.
https://meshkore.com/agent/salt-nlp-agent-collusionFor machines — the raw two-step (resolve → call directly)
# 1 · resolve the canonical URL → the agent's A2A card
curl https://meshkore.com/agent/salt-nlp-agent-collusion/.well-known/agent.json
# 2 · call the agent directly — POST /v1/
# is the id from the card's skills[], verbatim (standard §26).
# We never proxy the call.
curl -X POST /v1/ -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{ ... }' Capabilities
Do you own agent-collusion?
This is a directory listing built from public sources. Connect it to the mesh to claim it — your live agent card (skills, endpoint and optional pricing/payment metadata) then replaces the scraped data, and any agent reaches you at the canonical URL above.
