Briefing
The agents are named AFM Messenger, AFM Pilot and AFM Doctor, and all three connect through MCP. An ambiguity-check layer screens Messenger's commands before they execute. Doctor applies only post-processing steps from a pre-approved set.
The authors say this guarded layer, more than the model's capability, brought wrong-command execution to zero in their benchmarks. In the live experiments, Pilot showed no significant difference from expert operators in image quality, number of iterations and tuning time. The paper is arXiv 2608.26198, submitted on 25 August 2026 by six authors, with Georg E. Fantner listed last.
