We address the problem of detecting faulty behaviors of robots belonging to a multi-agent system. Our objective is to develop a scalable architecture that can be adopted to realize a completely decentralized intrusion detector monitoring the agents{\textquoteright} behavior. We want the solution to be independent from the set of {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}rules{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} describing the interaction among the agents, and from their dynamics; (non-invasive) mainly based on HW/SW components that are already present on-board of each agent. We focus on systems with decentralized cooperation schemes where cooperation is obtained by sharing a set of {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}rules{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} by which each agent plans its next {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}action{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} and where some of the agents may act not according to the rules due to spontaneous failure, tampering, or malicious introduction.
