GROB: A Multi-Agent Architecture for Public-Trace Investigation of Candidate Agentic Activity
GROB uses public Internet traces to investigate possible autonomous-agent activity without privileged telemetry.
GROB is a multi-agent architecture for investigating possible autonomous-agent activity from public Internet traces when privileged telemetry is unavailable. It performs controlled read-only collection and preserves observations for later resolution. In a frozen September 2026 corpus, Census-labelled identifiers captured on 9 September were later linked by public revision records to specific Census requests from 16–17 June; other links were weaker. The authors say public traces alone do not establish organizational attribution, and agent identity continuity remains an open problem.
- Read-only collection of public traces without privileged telemetry
- Sept. 9 Census-labelled IDs later matched to June 16–17 requests
- Public traces aid reconstruction but not organizational attribution
- Continuity of autonomous-agent identity remains unresolved

1 min read at arxiv.orgWe present GROB, a multi-agent architecture for investigating candidate autonomous-agent activity through public Internet traces when privileged telemetry is unavailable. The system performs controlled, read-only collection of public traces and preserves selected observations for later resolution.
