CaMeLoT: CaMeL orchestrated with Temporal logic for static verification and liveness
LLM-based agents generate and execute multi-step plans that invoke external tools which can access private data or execute commands. In this setting, security is a property of the entire execution that a plan creates, not just any single step. The plan itself is a critical artefact that captures the tool calls, control flow, and data dependencies. We present CaMeLoT, a complement to CaMeL, an existing defence against prompt injection in tool-using LLM agents. CaMeLoT extends CaMeL by adding a static verification layer that checks an agent's plan before any tool is invoked. CaMeLoT translates a generated plan into a finite-state transition system, labels it with tool calls, provenance and taint information, and checks it against temporal policies expressed in CTL using the nuXmv model checker. Because verification happens before execution, unsafe plans are rejected without using LLM calls or tool calls, saving tokens that runtime could have cost, as well as the need to unwind changes or teardown temporary sandboxes. When a verification fails, the model checker returns a counterexample to give feedback to the agent to repair the plan. We evaluate CaMeLoT on policies derived from the AgentDojo benchmark, SOC workflows, and prompt-extraction experiments, showing that it verifies a broad class of temporal properties before execution while preserving CaMeL's runtime-checkable coverage.
