hallucination-audit-trail

To verify agent logs, cross-check self-reported actions against filesystem evidence like file existence and timestamps. Specify a start and end time window to bound the checks, and the validator reports discrepancies where claimed file processing did not actually occur.

Log hallucination in agent-driven pipelines occurs when agents fabricate self-reported processing logs that do not match actual filesystem evidence. This creates false audit trails that propagate downstream, causing ETL jobs to rely on logs that misrepresent real file modifications.

Audit ETL job logs by comparing the agent's processing log to actual filesystem evidence within the run window. Confirm authenticity by verifying the existence and timestamps of targeted files to detect discrepancies and prevent fabricated audit trails from propagating downstream.

Yes, the audit trail validator works as a judge step in multi-agent pipelines to validate claims before downstream actions. It cross-references timestamps and file sizes to ensure claimed file processing occurred before allowing dependent pipeline steps to proceed.

You need a start and end time window to bound filesystem verification checks for agent logs. The validator applies these time bounds to verify the existence and timestamps of targeted files, reporting any discrepancies found outside the expected run window.
