What is agent output verification?

Agent output verification checks work products against rubrics — schema, citations, brand, numeric sanity — before or after human review. It catches errors fast instead of discovering them from customers.

In depth

Verification sits between generation and shipment:

- Structural — JSON schema, required fields, link format - Grounding — citations match retrieved sources; numbers match connector read - Policy — no prohibited claims, PII stripped from external drafts - Quality — brand voice classifier or LLM judge against rubric

Verification can block (fail closed), warn (flag for human), or sample (audit 5% of live runs).

Pair verification with agent evaluation: evals regression-test offline; verification guards online output.

Neuro OS Ask gate is the final verification for external actions — automated checks first, human approver last.

Examples

  • Legal draft — every citation paragraph must map to source doc id
  • Outbound email — price must match CRM field within 1%
  • Blog post — schema.org block validated before CMS draft
  • Random sample — 10 daily support replies scored by rubric
