Stop AI Agent Hallucinations: 5 Techniques + Production Patterns - Elizabeth Fuentes, AWS
Five code-level controls reduce agent errors: narrow tool context, query structured data, validate responses, enforce rules before calls, and steer runtime correction.
YouTube
Source Summary
The talk demonstrates **5 code-level techniques**: semantic tool selection, graph retrieval, multi-agent validation, pre-call symbolic rules, and runtime steering. Its sample travel agent exposes **29 tools**, all otherwise added to every request.
Practical Implication
Filter tools per invocation, compute precise counts and multi-hop answers from structured queries, and validate tool results before replying. Put non-negotiable booking or payment constraints in executable hooks, then use steering where an agent can safely correct itself.

These are demo patterns built with Strands and AWS services, not measured guarantees across production workloads. Filtering does not stop conversation history from growing, while validators and graph infrastructure add latency, cost, and operational complexity.
