Developers building AI agents in 2026 face reliability issues due to LLM outputs not conforming to expected formats, particularly JSON. This article proposes structured outputs as a solution, leveraging Pydantic models and constrained decoding to ensure agents return valid, typed data. For scenarios where structured outputs are unavailable, a retry loop with JSON mode and schema validation is suggested to maintain agent pipeline integrity. AI
