arXiv:2610.28987v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Persistent memory is a largely undefended surface for injection and poisoning, and the same risk limits memory sharing among agents. We present PerMIT, a memory architecture with provable integrity guarantees under an explicit trust assumption: only user-typed inputs and values confirmed at a gate are trusted. PerMIT mediates the release and use of untrusted environment-derived values through a finite memory interface, while preserving agent-driven multi-turn planning and tool choice. Over this finite interface, we prove two integrity theorems that are also machine-checked in Lean 4, which together ensure that environment-derived memory reaches a sensitive action only if confirmed at the gate and influences the agent's behavior only through what the gate displays. Every attack in our threat model thereby reduces to a single auditable decision, which a human, an LLM verifier, or both can make in practice. On Trojan Hippo, PerMIT records zero observed attack success with self-verification and lightweight verifiers. Because each confirmation is a logged verdict on exact content, endorsements accumulate across users, and sufficiently endorsed items become community-confirmed with no further verification required. Under explicit assumptions, we prove and corroborate in simulation a co-scaling property: as the community grows, the risks of promoting poison and of wrongly evicting benign knowledge fall, while per-user verification effort does not rise. On $\tau^2$-bench, communities of up to 90 autonomous agents use PerMIT to build shared knowledge bases with no direct memory injection promoted, and the resulting knowledge significantly improves new agents on held-out tasks, suggesting a path toward agents that safely self-improve at test time.
