How to Stop an AI Agent from Treating Plausible Memory as Verified Incident History

The poster raises an agent-engineering problem: how do you stop an AI agent from treating a plausible memory as verified incident history?

They built Continuity to explore this in a security-operations workflow: it uses Hindsight to recall past investigation experience, then checks whether each result maps to a retained, related incident before Groq can use it in a recommendation. Recommendations stay advisory, with analysts able to accept, modify or reject them.

The walkthrough uses synthetic incidents. The article explains how they handle source checks, failed paths, and cases where memory is empty or unavailable. The poster also asks how others handle memory provenance in their agent projects.
