+"""Check whether an agent's answers are backed by what its tools actually returned.

+Four deterministic checks, no model calls:

+1. ``fabrication-after-failure``: a tool failed and the answer states concrete values anyway
+   without admitting it.
+2. ``wrong-entity``: the tool returned a different record and the answer passes its values off

+3. ``unsupported-value``: a concrete value the tools never returned and nobody ever stated.
+4. ``fabricated-refusal``: the answer declines by citing a limit that appears nowhere.
