Monitors when agents deviate from their intended role, personality, or behavioral constraints over time. Uses role-aware thresholds for different agent types.

Examples

• Helper agent starts making unauthorized strategic decisions
• Formal analyst agent adopts casual, chatty tone mid-conversation
• Specialist agent responds to topics outside its domain expertise
• Creative writing agent becomes overly rigid and analytical
