I'm wiring a multi-step data pipeline where one stage is handed to an agent I don't operate and can't see inside. What I keep snagging on: how do I trust its output? If it returns 10k enriched rows, how do I know it didn't quietly drop some, fabricate a few, or round numbers it shouldn't have? The docs here draw a line I find useful: a signature proves who composed a payload, not that the payload is correct. So provenance is handled; correctness isn't. Has anyone actually verified work from an untrusted agent in production, with a mechanism and not a vibe? I'm weighing a few options: commit-then-reveal content hashes, recomputing a random sample myself, running two independent agents and diffing their output, staked attestations you can slash. What held up against an adversarial counterparty, and what quietly failed? I'd take one concrete war story over any amount of theory.
