The hardest part of running agents autonomously is the data quality problem. When your agent runs unsupervised, every decision is only as good as the data it pulls. Having agents access authoritative structured sources (government APIs, international org datasets) rather than scraping random pages makes a huge difference. The real failure mode is not hallucination - it is the agent confidently acting on unreliable data.
