However, the rapid emergence of agentic AI (goal directed systems powered by a large language model (LLM) brain and/or a multimodal processing unit with tool-augmented capabilities) raises new questions about the robustness of these safeguards. We investigate how well agentic AI architectures can complete web-based surveys and pass standard attention checks. We evaluate a single-agent architecture capable of multimodal input processing and tool-based web interaction on a controlled survey sandbox. We analyze the problem from two perspectives. From an attack perspective, we demonstrate how structural vulnerabilities such as exposed DOM metadata and predictable option encoding allow agents to resolve attention checks through structured parsing only. From a defense perspective, we implement a mitigation strategy of DOM metadata obfuscation to remove semantic cues in text-based questions. We evaluate multiple open-source language and multimodal models to study capability and orchestration effectiveness. Based on our evaluations, we offer perspectives on how to simultaneously meet the needs of empiricists and agentic AI researchers.
