Understanding and Exploiting Initialization Anchoring Weakness in Feedback-Based Agent Planning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

Feedback-based planning improves agent reliability by incorporating tool observations and corrective feedback. However, its protection may not be distributed uniformly across planning stages. We conduct a round-wise analysis of four representative feedback mechanisms and uncover an initialization anchoring weakness: the first feedback round corrects 46\% of adversarial directions, whereas the rates fall to 13\% and 7\% among directions surviving into the next two rounds. Our analysis attributes this weakness to three interacting factors: a contextually plausible shift in the initial plan, insu
