Short answer

How do I stop my AI from adding unrequested features?

The agent uses a validation tool to compare its current plan and output against your initial prompt. This prevents the agent from wandering off-task or hallucinating new requirements. You get a constant check on instruction adherence.

The outcomes

Where your agent stays on track

The agent uses real-time checks to keep its logic aligned with your goals.

STRICT

Instruction adherence

The agent checks its work against your original constraints. You get certainty that it isn't ignoring your rules.

STABLE

No feature drift

The agent stops itself from adding extra steps or features you didn't ask for. This keeps your task clean and predictable.

ALERT

Drift detection

If the agent starts moving away from the goal, it catches the mismatch. You see exactly where the logic diverged.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

When the agent detects a violation, it stops and asks you for direction. You decide if the drift was intentional or a mistake.

The workflow

What your AI does when the task starts.

The agent uses the validation tool to act as its own supervisor.

  1. Baseline creation

    The agent extracts your core requirements and constraints to create a reference point for the task.

    validate_context_integrity

  2. Step-by-step checking

    After every action, the agent compares the new state to the original goal to ensure nothing has changed.

    validate_context_integrity

  3. Drift identification

    The agent flags any new features or logic paths that weren't in your initial instructions.

    validate_context_integrity

  4. Correction loop

    The agent halts execution if it detects a mismatch, preventing a long, expensive, or incorrect run.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my original instructions?

    No. The agent only reads your instructions to use them as a benchmark for validation.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my files if it detects drift?

    No. The agent only identifies mismatches and stops its own progress. It cannot delete your data.

  • 03

    Does this work with any AI client?

    Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 04

    Does the agent decide when to stop or do I?

    The agent stops itself when it detects a violation, but you are the one who decides how to proceed after the halt.

  • 05

    Can it prevent hallucinations?

    It helps by checking if the agent's output matches your specific context, which reduces the chance of it making things up.
