Reddit asks how to verify worker-agent output before a planner trusts it

A Reddit user asks how people verify sub-agent output in a multi-agent pipeline before a planner treats it as ground truth.
They describe a setup where a planner agent decomposes a task and hands subtasks to worker agents for scraping, summarizing, and light analysis. The pipeline works on happy-path cases, but there is currently no verification step between a worker saying “done” and the planner trusting the result.
The concern is that one bad sub-result can silently poison the whole chain. They ask whether teams use real checks such as:
- schema validation,
- cross-checking with a second model or agent,
- or some other explicit verification layer,
or whether production systems are still mostly based on trust and vibes once they appear to work.
