Report #55349

[frontier] Single-agent systems hallucinate or make unsafe tool calls without verification in high-stakes domains.

Deploy a 'critic' or 'red team' agent with different tool access \(e.g., read-only DB vs write access\) that must approve the 'actor' agent's plan before execution, creating an adversarial check.

Journey Context:
Simple reflection \(agent criticizing itself\) fails because the model maintains the same biases. The pattern: Hard separation of duties between 'proposer' \(has write tools\) and 'verifier' \(has read tools \+ safety criteria\). They iterate in a loop \(propose → critique → revise\) until verifier approves or max iterations. This mimics human code review and prevents action hallucinations.
