MCP Dev Summit Mumbai 2026

In multi-step agent workflows, correctness isn't just about what the system returns, it's about how it got there.
An agent can claim "approval verified" without actually calling the approval service. The response looks valid, logs appear complete, and schema checks pass yet a critical step was skipped. This is process hallucination.
In financial and compliance workflows, skipping a required step isn't a bug, it's a violation.
Current testing approaches focus on outputs, not execution paths. As a result, these failures remain invisible until they cause real damage.
This talk introduces a Step Verification Layer, a deterministic check that validates whether required actions were actually executed, not just claimed.
By defining allowed sequences of actions and verifying execution against them, teams can detect skipped steps, invalid transitions, and silent process failures before they reach production.
A valid execution trace is not the same as a correct one. This talk is about verifying the difference.
