- Abstract: Enterprise AI systems increasingly deploy multiple intelligent agents across mission-critical workflows that must satisfy hard policy constraints, bounded risk exposure, and comprehensive auditability (SOX, HIPAA, GDPR). Existing coordination methods - cooperative MARL, consensus protocols, and centralized planners - optimize expected reward while treating constraints implicitly. This paper introduces CAMCO (Constraint-Aware Multi-Agent Cognitive Orchestration), a runtime coordination layer that models multi-agent decision-making as a constrained optimization problem. CAMCO integrates three mechanisms: (i) a constraint projection engine enforcing policy-feasible actions via convex projection, (ii) adaptive risk-weighted Lagrangian utility shaping, and (iii) an iterative negotiation protocol with provably bounded convergence. Unlike training-time constrained RL, CAMCO operates as deployment-time middleware compatible with any agent architecture, with policy predicates designed for direct integration with production engines such as OPA. Evaluation across three enterprise scenarios - including comparison against a constrained Lagrangian MARL baseline - demonstrates zero policy violations, risk exposure below threshold (mean ratio 0.71), 92-97% utility retention, and mean convergence in 2.4 iterations.

The widely adopted CMDP model constrains the risks in expectation, which makes room for dangerous behaviors in long-tail states.

Markov Games [63.60117916422867]
This paper focuses on the most basic setting of competitive multi-agent RL, namely two-player zero-sum Markov games.
We propose a single-loop policy optimization method with symmetric updates from both agents, where the policy is updated via the entropy-regularized optimistic multiplicative weights update (OMWU) method.
Our convergence results improve upon the best known complexities, and lead to a better understanding of policy optimization in competitive Markov games.

We propose Penalized Proximal Policy Optimization (P3O), which solves the cumbersome constrained policy iteration via a single minimization of an equivalent unconstrained problem.
P3O utilizes a simple-yet-effective penalty function to eliminate cost constraints and removes the trust-region constraint by the clipped surrogate objective.
We show that P3O outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms with respect to both reward improvement and constraint satisfaction on a set of constrained locomotive tasks.
