Illusion protects multi-agent communication topologies by adding low-impact decoy links and task-specific plausible messages while retaining the genuine workflow. It selects decoys through receiver-impact probes and checks output distributions and task accuracy. On MMLU, CIA’s edge-level F1 falls from 0.87 to 0.62 and graph similarity from 0.94 to 0.71; performance preservation has a GPQA star-topology exception.
