What happened

This collection of March 17, 2026 arXiv papers emphasizes security-relevant advances and gaps in automated vulnerability discovery, agent tool-use safety, and long-running AI-assisted software development. Key contributions: (1) VulnAgent-X introduces a layered, agentic pipeline (risk screening, bounded context expansion, specialist analysers, selective dynamic verification, evidence fusion) that improves repository-level vulnerability detection and reduces false positives (code released). (2) A controlled study shows schema-first tool APIs (JSON Schema + diagnostics) reduce interface misuse,但
