Preventing Error Propagation in Multi-Agent AI through Runtime Monitoring

Shahnewaz Karim Sakib, Anindya Bijoy Das

Multi-agent AI systems can improve answer selection by allowing different language models to exchange reasoning traces, revise initial predictions, and support a final decision. However, such communication may also introduce reliability risks: reasoning from one agent can correct another agent's mistake, but it can also mislead an agent that was initially correct. This paper studies reliable multi-agent AI communication through reasoning exchange and runtime answer revision. We develop a framework in which agents first answer multiple-choice questions independently, then share reasoning traces and revise their decisions. We conduct numerical experiments where we evaluate whether this process improves accuracy, produces more positive than negative answer transitions, and remains effective across domains such as cybersecurity, networking, and general knowledge. The results help identify when multi-agent reasoning improves reliability and when it may propagate errors.
