Demonstrating TOFFEE: A Learned System for Synthesizing Data Agent Trajectories at Scale

LLM-powered data agents are playing an increasingly important role in data-driven decision making. However, existing data agents struggle to generalize to unseen data environments and analytical workflows, especially in heterogeneous enterprise settings. This creates a growing need for synthesizing high-quality data agent trajectories that capture complex analytical workflows for given data environments. Such trajectories support two key downstream uses: they can serve as supervised finetuning (SFT) data that adapts data agent models to the target domain, and as in-context learning (ICL) demonstrations to guide general-purpose LLMs in unfamiliar data environments. Thus, we introduce TOFFEE, a system for synthesizing high-quality data agent trajectories from given data environments via Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) with adaptive model selection and cross-task prefix reuse. We show that TOFFEE can effectively generate scalable trajectory data for complex analytical tasks across heterogeneous environments. In this demonstration, we present the system framework of TOFFEE, including its task pool construction, trajectory explorer, and learned cost model. We also introduce the web interface of TOFFEE and its workflow, and demonstrate two end-to-end scenarios: trajectory synthesis for data agent finetuning, and demonstration-augmented data agent reasoning.

Data Agents Under Attack: Vulnerabilities in LLM-Driven Analytical Systems

Data agents integrate LLM-driven reasoning with relational data access, executable analytical tools, and multi-step workflow orchestration, making them increasingly central to enterprise analytics. This integration introduces new security vulnerabilities across data resources, database execution, and agent reasoning, recombining concerns from database security and general-purpose LLM-agent security into failure modes that neither line of work captures on its own. To address this gap, we present a systematic security study of data agents. Our contributions are threefold. First, we develop a layered vulnerability framework that identifies eight data agent-specific risks across interpretation, execution, and policy layers. Second, we introduce an attack taxonomy organized by adversary goal, tactic, and technique, covering three goals, seven tactics, and fourteen techniques, and pair it with an LLM-driven payload generation pipeline grounded in real database schemas. Third, we evaluate these attacks on six systems, including four open-source data agents and two production cloud analytics services. Our experiments reveal substantial security vulnerabilities across current systems and yield four key takeaways.

DisorientLiDAR: Physical Attacks on LiDAR-based Localization

Deep learning models have been shown to be susceptible to adversarial attacks with visually imperceptible perturbations. Even this poses a serious security challenge for the localization of self-driving cars, there has been very little exploration of attack on it, as most of adversarial attacks have been applied to 3D perception. In this work, we propose a novel adversarial attack framework called DisorientLiDAR targeting LiDAR-based localization. By reverse-engineering localization models (e.g., feature extraction networks), adversaries can identify critical keypoints and strategically remove them, thereby disrupting LiDAR-based localization. Our proposal is first evaluated on three state-of-the-art point-cloud registration models (HRegNet, D3Feat, and GeoTransformer) using the KITTI dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that removing regions containing Top-K keypoints significantly degrades their registration accuracy. We further validate the attack's impact on the Autoware autonomous driving platform, where hiding merely a few critical regions induces noticeable localization drift. Finally, we extended our attacks to the physical world by hiding critical regions with near-infrared absorptive materials, thereby successfully replicate the attack effects observed in KITTI data. This step has been closer toward the realistic physical-world attack that demonstrate the veracity and generality of our proposal.

CORAG: A Cost-Constrained Retrieval Optimization System for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable generation capabilities but often struggle to access up-to-date information, which can lead to hallucinations. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) addresses this issue by incorporating knowledge from external databases, enabling more accurate and relevant responses. Due to the context window constraints of LLMs, it is impractical to input the entire external database context directly into the model. Instead, only the most relevant information, referred to as chunks, is selectively retrieved. However, current RAG research faces three key challenges. First, existing solutions often select each chunk independently, overlooking potential correlations among them. Second, in practice the utility of chunks is non-monotonic, meaning that adding more chunks can decrease overall utility. Traditional methods emphasize maximizing the number of included chunks, which can inadvertently compromise performance. Third, each type of user query possesses unique characteristics that require tailored handling, an aspect that current approaches do not fully consider. To overcome these challenges, we propose a cost constrained retrieval optimization system CORAG for retrieval-augmented generation. We employ a Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) based policy framework to find optimal chunk combinations sequentially, allowing for a comprehensive consideration of correlations among chunks. Additionally, rather than viewing budget exhaustion as a termination condition, we integrate budget constraints into the optimization of chunk combinations, effectively addressing the non-monotonicity of chunk utility.
