面向邮件生成 LLM 智能体的低成本隐私执行：Gemma 本地改写 + PrivacyChecker

View PDF HTML (experimental)

Abstract:LLM agents now act as delegated communication intermediaries: they read private context, draft messages, and send externally visible emails on behalf of a user. Existing checker-repair defenses can reduce inappropriate disclosure, but they rely on repeated calls to a remote action LLM (the model that drafts and repairs the email) and a remote checker LLM whenever a draft fails validation. This creates a cost problem as well as a privacy problem, especially when a requester strategically asks for exact values, raw records, source evidence, or other details that induce leakage-heavy drafts. We propose local contract-conditioned rewriting as a cost-efficient enforcement layer for email-generating agents. The mechanism intercepts an outgoing draft, constructs an information-release contract that specifies what to preserve, generalize, and forbid, rewrites the draft with a local Gemma rewriter, and selectively invokes a final PrivacyChecker. Across extensive email tasks under normal prompts and attack prompts that operationalize strategic information requests, Gemma + Checker reduces normal-prompt leakage from 11.41% to 4.03% while improving UsableRate (satisfied or partially satisfied outputs) from 85.2% to 92.6%. Under the strategic attack-prompt condition, it reduces leakage from 28.19% to 18.79% and reduces checker-only cost amplification from 1.32x to 1.02x. Offline replay ablation shows that the full contract reduces leakage relative to generic Gemma rewriting by 36.3% under normal prompts and 54.1% under attack prompts. These results support a local-first privacy enforcement design: move repair to a cheaper trusted local layer when possible, but retain the checker as the final semantic gate for high-risk sends.
