Tool Receipts, Not Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Practical Hallucination Detection for AI Agents

ArXi:2603.10060v1 Announce Type: cross AI agents that execute tasks via tool calls frequently hallucinate results - fabricating tool executions, misstating output counts, or presenting inferences as facts. Recent approaches to verifiable AI inference rely on zero-knowledge proofs, which provide cryptographic guarantees but impose minutes of proving time per query, making them impractical for interactive agents.
