Agent RAG Source Validation Protocol

Data Integrity · updated Thu Feb 26

Ensure retrieved documents are authentic, relevant, and safe before they are used for synthesis.

Steps

  1. Verify document metadata (source URL, digital signature, and timestamp).
  2. Scan retrieved chunks for 'Adversarial Context' or context-poisoning markers.
  3. Rank retrieved sources by a pre-defined 'Trust Score' (Authority Ranking).
  4. Cross-reference citations against the original source text to prevent hallucinations.
  5. Filter out duplicate or conflicting information chunks to minimize confusion.
  6. Reject sources that trigger safety or toxicity filters at the retrieval stage.
