Agent Architecture: Arguments Are Looked Up, Never Generated
Jay299792458 · reddit · 2026-08-06
The author proposes an agent architecture design focused on safety: instead of validating arguments, the system should look up where each argument came from.
- Provenance Chain: A priority chain is defined: useranswer → instruction → presetdata → measureddata → priorstate. The first hit wins.
- Unknown State: If all five sources are empty, the field is marked unknown. This is treated as a valid state, not an error.
- Execution Gate: If any unknown fields exist, the agent must not execute. It should ask the user and record the interaction.
This prevents the model from hallucinating critical information (like bank accounts) under pressure to fill required fields.
