GROB: A Multi-Agent Architecture for Public-Trace Investigation of Candidate Agentic Activity

We present GROB, a multi-agent architecture for investigating candidate autonomous-agent activity through public Internet traces when privileged telemetry is unavailable.

Key points

  • The system performs controlled, read-only collection of public traces and preserves selected observations for later resolution.
  • In a frozen September 2026 corpus, several collected traces became more informative as additional public evidence emerged.
  • Other results show weaker links between traces collected by GROB and evidence reconstructed or reported later.
  • Execution identity presents a separate problem, as continuity of agent identity remains an active research question for autonomous language-model agents.
