Open-source MCP for verifying AI outputs missed a 9,000 mg/day medication error

Reddit user PracticalGreen5775 is building an open-source MCP for independently testing AI-generated outputs, starting with synthetic healthcare scenarios.
- During validation, the tool missed an acetaminophen order totaling 9,000 mg/day — the verification process failed to account for dosing frequency yet still returned a reassuring pass.
- That confident-but-wrong failure mode is exactly what the project aims to catch; fixes are underway.
- The author is recruiting 5 developers to run adversarial scenarios against the verification workflow once fixes ship and report where it breaks.
