What's your best defense against an agent inventing data? It isn't the schema: schema validation checks shape, and a hallucinated value has perfect shape. The agent needed a date, invented one, and the pipeline accepted it, which is how fabricated data spreads through systems that look well defended. The defense is layered: a schema that makes missing data representable, so the model has a legal way to say it doesn't know, plus validation that catches the internal inconsistencies a model smooths over. That extraction work is part of the evaluation coursework in the new AI Engineering with Claude Nanodegree program.
