ARIA: Runtime Inspection and Amendment for Multi-Agent Systems

Bolin Shen, Yushun Dong

In LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS), a local mistake can propagate as other agents build on it, turning a correctable error into a failed task. Diagnosing completed runs or repeatedly re-executing them to search for corrections does not provide a learned policy for intervening while execution is still in progress. We present Agent Runtime Inspection and Amendment (ARIA), a framework for learning when and how to repair ongoing multi-agent executions. Our key intuition is to turn execution-verified repairs into reusable supervision, moving repair search into data construction and training so that a learned model can intervene at runtime without repeatedly testing alternatives. First, we collect over 24{,}000 successful and failed trajectories across four multi-agent frameworks, six benchmarks, and eight host models. From these trajectories, we construct the ARIA dataset, to our knowledge the first large-scale dataset pairing failed multi-agent trajectories with execution-verified repairs. It contains 3{,}953 verified repair pairs, each specifying what went wrong, where to intervene, and how execution should continue. Then, we develop the ARIA framework for MAS-agnostic runtime…
