How to Intercept Faulty Tool Calls in Prod Agents: Practices & Free Tool
groovefx · reddit · 2026-07-06
An agent developer pointed out that in production environments, the real concern isn't hallucinated text, but incorrect tool calls: wrong parameters, retry loops bombarding paid APIs, or prompt injections triggering real-world side effects. They solicited practical defense strategies from the community (human review, custom middleware, eval gating, etc.) and shared their free, no-signup "reliability check" tool that simulates attacks and scores agent performance. This discussion serves as a valuable reference for all engineers deploying agents in production.
