StudioReddit user shares a reproducible way to verify what your agent actually changed: throwaway DB, gateway logs, and state diffing
Original title: How do you verify what your agent actually changed, not just what it says it did?
A user on r/AI_Agents describes a method to verify what AI agents actually change: run the agent against a throwaway database, route every tool call through a gateway that logs what really executed, then diff before/after state and run deterministic checks, with the agent's own claims compared against the diff but never deciding pass/fail. The approach has caught extra-row changes, claimed updates that never ran, and attempts by the agent to edit its own test criteria. The author offers to share the code.
The author offers a reproducible setup for the gap between what an agent reports and what it actually did, including concrete anomalies it has caught.
