As open-source large language models (LLMs) become increasingly powerful, they are rapidly evolving into Agentic LLMs capable of automating complex daily tasks. However, this paradigm shift entails severe security risks, as the agents’ necessary integration with external real-time data sources creates a direct pathway for indirect prompt injection (IPI) attacks. Existing attack methods are limited by their reliance on static patterns and evaluation on simple language models, failing to address the fast-evolving nature of modern Agentic LLMs. We introduce AdapTools, a novel adaptive IPI attack framework that selects stealthier attack tools and generates adaptive attack prompts to create a rigorous security evaluation environment. Our approach comprises two key components: (1) Adaptive Attack Strategy Construction, which develops transferable adversarial strategies for prompt optimization, and (2) Attack Enhancement, which identifies stealthy tools capable of circumventing task-relevance defenses. Comprehensive experiments on both open-source and commercial agentic LLMs show that AdapTools achieves a per-model average improvement of 2.08× in attack success rate over the strongest baseline under state-of-the-art defenses (MELON, Pi-Detector), with gains reaching up to 3.06× on the most resistant reasoning agents. The framework further transfers to black-box commercial agents (GPT, Qwen, Gemini), with ASR ranging from 4.2 to 20.3 (peak on the in-family Qwen-MAX), exposing systematic vulnerabilities in modern Agentic LLMs.
Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit remarkable capabilities, but no single model optimally balances serving quality and deployment cost across diverse tasks. Multi-LLM systems address this challenge through intelligent routing mechanisms that dynamically allocate queries to the most appropriate model. However, existing routing methods suffer from two fundamental limitations: (i) dependence on extensive full-response datasets for training, and (ii) poor scalability when incorporating new models, typically necessitating retraining from scratch. In this paper, we propose SemiRouter, a novel LLM routing framework designed for data-sparse and evolving model environments. Our approach combines a data-efficient training methodology with an adaptive architecture that enables seamless integration of new models under limited supervision. As an extension, we also consider energy footprint as a potential deployment cost in our routing decision. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that our method improves data efficiency, adaptability, and routing accuracy compared to existing approaches, providing a scalable solution for dynamic multi-LLM deployment.
