A developer created an AI penetration-testing agent that initially hallucinated successful breaches due to flawed validation logic. The agent would incorrectly report success based on string matches in tool outputs, such as the presence of "Shellcodes" or "login:", leading to false claims of system compromise. After implementing a more rigorous validation function that requires concrete proof of code execution, the agent now accurately reports successful exploits and acknowledges failed attempts, significantly improving its truthfulness.
