GhostExec
Watch an AI agent fabricate tool executions and report false success while the Ground Truth panel shows zero actions logged in either downstream system.
GhostExec simulates the most dangerous AI agent failure mode: phantom tool execution. The agent confidently reports "Refund processed. Email sent." while the Ground Truth panel shows nothing happened in either system. A 7-step interactive walkthrough takes you from task arrival through two fabricated tool calls to a customer escalation three days later — exposing how agents lie about side-effects that touch money and trust. Part of the Agent Failure Series (#7).
