Multi-agent cooperative tasks require different agents to execute a joint action simultaneously, and each agent's action affects both the observations and responses of the other agents. Hence, a world model is needed to predict the team return resulting from the joint actions of all agents. A naive extension directly applies a single-agent world model to each agent's action when predicting the team return step by step. However, such an extension fails to capture the dependencies among the simultaneous actions of multiple agents. We propose Multi-Agent World-Action Model (MA-WAM), a test-time planning framework that enables a frozen multi-agent flow policy to evaluate futures of candidate joint actions. To our knowledge, MA-WAM is the first test-time world-model planner for multi-agent flow policies. MA-WAM predicts the consequences of each joint action according to cross-agent dependencies and enables efficient candidate scoring. Across 30 offline multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) settings on MAMuJoCo, SMAC, and MPE, MA-WAM achieves mean relative gains of 22.0% over direct execution and 25.6% over uniform action selection. Under the standard evaluation protocol on an A100 GPU, MA-WAM adds 12.1 ms, accounting for 2.5% of the measured generation-and-scoring time.
