Report #81456

[architecture] Blindly passing generated artifacts like code or SQL between agents leads to runtime errors or safety violations in the consuming agent

Insert a deterministic static validation step \(a 'verifier'\) between the generator and the executor. The verifier checks the output against a formal grammar \(e.g., AST parsing for code, EXPLAIN for SQL\) before the execution agent is invoked.

Journey Context:
Developers often rely on the LLM to 'self-correct' or assume the generating agent wrote valid syntax. LLMs frequently produce subtly invalid syntax or unsafe queries. By inserting a deterministic, non-LLM verifier at the boundary, you fail fast before the execution agent wastes compute or causes side-effects. Tradeoff: adds an extra step and latency, but saves compute by preventing execution of guaranteed-to-fail payloads.
