What causes AI agents to hallucinate logs?

LLMs prioritize coherent, user-pleasing outputs over factual accuracy, especially post-action when context fades.

How does Decision Anchoring prevent agent spending disputes?

It timestamps and hashes the decision moment externally before execution, anchoring local records without revealing content.

Not if tuned right — only consequential decisions trigger it, keeping lightweight actions fast.
