- I Built a RAG System That Never Hallucinate — Here’s the Exact Architecture
The problem every engineering team has but nobody talks about You’re on-call. It’s 2am. The checkout service is throwing 503s. You need to know: which service is actually broken, who owns it, what changed in the last 48 hours, and whether there’s a related open ticket — all in under 60 seconds. The answer exists. It’s scattered across Jira, GitHub, Confluence, and your log aggregator. None of those tools talk to each other, and none of them understand your question. This is the problem I set out to solve with Aksibu Mini : a fully open-source engineering context engine that aggregates fragmented engineering data into a unified knowledge base, answers operational questions in natural language, and — most importantly — never makes things up. Two systems in one Aksibu Mini has two distinct pipelines that I’ll walk through in depth. Pipeline 1: GraphRAG — knows your engineering stack. Jira tickets, GitHub commits, Confluence docs, application logs. It builds a knowledge graph, understands who owns what, how services depend on each other, and can trace an incident from a log line back to the commit that introduced it. Pipeline 2: Cited Document Search — knows your documents. Point it at a folder of a million PDFs and ask anything. Every single sentence in the answer comes with a `[1]`-style citation pointing to the exact paragraph it came from. If something isn’t in your documents, it says so instead of guessing. Both pipelines run at near-zero cost. The entire GraphRAG index on 18 records costs ~$0.01 to build. The document search pipeline runs entirely on local models — zero API cost for retrieval. Pipeline 1: GraphRAG on a budget The first challenge was cost. A naive implementation would send every engineering record to a frontier LLM for entity extraction — at real scale that’s thousands of dollars. Instead I built a tiered extraction system. The three tiers: Tier 1 — Regex rules (free). A rule-based extractor handles roughly 70% of records. It pattern-matches service names, ticket IDs, engineer names, and common relationship phrases. Zero API calls, zero cost. Tier 2 — Cheap LLM. Only records with unresolved text get escalated. A fast, cheap model (Gemma 27B) handles these for ~$0.0002 per record. Tier 3 — Frontier LLM. Only complex records trigger this: Confluence docs (rich prose, many implicit relationships), records over 800 characters with fewer than 2 entities found, or records with entities but zero detected relationships. Cost ~$0.003 per record. The result: first build costs ~$0.01. Every subsequent run with no changes costs exactly $0.00 because everything is cached in SQLite. The knowledge graph Entities extracted from all four sources feed into a `networkx.DiGraph`. Nodes represent services, engineers, tickets, commits, log lines, and docs. Edges represent relationships: `owns`, `affects`, `fixes`, `depends_on`, `caused_by`, `modified`. checkout-api ── owns ──→ Rahul Sharma checkout-api ── affects ──→ JR-441 JR-441 ── caused_by ──→ sha:a3f8c2 sha:a3f8c2 ── modified ──→ checkout-api When you ask “Why is checkout broken?”, the agent doesn’t just do a keyword search. It traverses the graph: starts from the service node, BFS-expands 2 hops, finds related incidents, recent commits, and the on-call owner — all in one query. Agentic retrieval with a cost cap The retrieval layer uses a tool-use loop. The LLM decides which tools to call based on the question, and has six available: `semantic_search`, `get_service_context`, `find_owner`, `get_recent_changes`, `get_active_incidents`, `get_dependencies`. Simple questions (under 8 words, starting with “what is” or “define”) skip the agent entirely and go straight to vector search — no tool calls, minimum cost. Complex questions run through the loop, capped at 7 tool calls. Hit the cap and the system forces a synthesis with whatever it has. No runaway API cost. Pipeline 2: Cited Document Search at scale This was the harder problem. The GraphRAG pipeline works on a fixed, structured dataset. The document search pipeline needs to work on anything — research papers, architecture docs, legal contracts, a folder of a million PDFs — and return answers where every claim is provably grounded. Why single-stage retrieval fails at scale: Most RAG tutorials show the same approach: embed your documents, store them in a vector database, retrieve top-k, send to LLM. This breaks down in two ways: Semantic gap. Vector search finds semantically similar text. But if you ask “What does CONF-1023 say about the Redis failover?” and your doc literally contains the string “CONF-1023”, your vector embedding likely won’t rank it first — exact token matches are drowned out by semantic noise. Precision gap. At 1 million documents, top-5 vector results are noisy. The LLM will receive irrelevant context and hallucinate connections between unrelated information. The three-stage hybrid retrieval Stage 1: BM25 + vector in parallel. BM25 (a classical TF-IDF variant) excels at exact term matching. Dense vector search excels at semantic similarity. Run both, get 50 candidates each. Stage 2: Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Merge the two lists without requiring score normalisation. The formula is simple and elegant: A chunk appearing in both lists at rank 3 and rank 7 scores higher than a chunk appearing in only one list at rank 1. This rewards cross-list agreement — which is exactly the signal you want. Stage 3: Cross-encoder reranking. The bi-encoder that built your vector index processes query and document independently. A cross-encoder processes them *together* , enabling full attention between query tokens and document tokens. This is far more accurate but too slow to run on all chunks — so I run it only on the top-20 RRF candidates, producing top-5 final chunks in milliseconds. The model is 22MB, runs locally, costs nothing, and was trained on 8.8 million query-passage pairs from Microsoft’s MS MARCO dataset. Citation enforcement: the key to zero hallucination Retrieval quality gets you 80% of the way there. The last 20% is prompt architecture. The system prompt is a hard constraint: You are a precise document analyst. Every factual claim MUST be followed immediately by [N] where N is the source number. You MUST NOT state anything that cannot be attributed to the provided sources. If the answer is not in the sources, say: “The provided documents do not contain enough information to answer this question.” Each of the 5 retrieved chunks is passed as a numbered source with its filename and position: [1] (from: architecture.pdf, chunk 3 of 12) Redis is used for session caching. All user sessions and cart contents are stored with a 30-minute TTL… [2] (from: incident-runbook.md, chunk 1 of 4) In the event of Redis unavailability, the checkout service falls back to in-memory session storage… The LLM produces: Redis handles session caching with a 30-minute TTL [1]. If Redis goes down, checkout falls back to in-memory storage [2]. Then post-processing validates every `[N]` reference against the supplied chunks. Any citation pointing to a number outside `[1, 5]` — something the LLM invented — is stripped from the response. This is a structural guarantee, not a soft instruction. The LLM literally cannot produce an uncited or fictionally-cited claim that survives post-processing. Scaling to 1 million documents The folder ingestion path is memory-safe by design. Files are processed one at a time from disk — `chunk_file_from_path(path)` reads, chunks, and discards each file before loading the next. Chunks are upserted to ChromaDB in batches of 200. The BM25 index is rebuilt exactly once at the end. ChromaDB’s HNSW index gives O(log n) query time at any scale. A query over 1 million chunks completes in ~5–10ms. The BM25 index holds ~2–4GB in RAM at 500K chunks — above that, the right swap is ElasticSearch or a sparse vector store like SPLADE. What I’d build next? Streaming answers. The LLM currently returns the full response before the UI renders. Adding `stream=True` to the OpenAI client call would let citations appear word by word. Multi-hop citation chains. Right now citations point to chunks. A more powerful version would trace: *”claim → chunk → source document → original data source”* — a full provenance chain from answer back to the raw Jira ticket or commit. ElasticSearch for BM25 at extreme scale. The in-process `rank_bm25` pickle is convenient but caps out around 500K chunks. Swapping it for an ElasticSearch instance keeps the same RRF architecture and removes the RAM ceiling. Scheduled re-indexing. The incremental manifest system already tracks which records have changed. Wrapping `python main.py` in a cron job would keep the knowledge graph current without manual intervention.

Organizations are using copilots, autonomous agents, and AI-driven workflows to move faster, make smarter decisions, improve productivity, and unlock new ways of working. In many industries, the winners will not simply be the companies that adopt AI, but the ones that can operationalize it quickly, confidently, and at scale. But accelerated innovation also introduces a new kind of risk. Innovation Is Accelerating. So Is Complexity. AI agents are not passive tools. They can reason, act, access systems, invoke applications, interact with sensitive data, and execute workflows. In effect, they are becoming a new class of non-human identity inside the enterprise. And unlike traditional users, these agents often operate dynamically, across SaaS applications, browsers, endpoints, APIs, and cloud environments — sometimes outside the view of IT and security teams. That creates a critical challenge: how can organizations embrace AI innovation without creating unmanaged risk? The answer is not to slow innovation down. Security should not be a detractor from AI adoption. It should be the foundation that allows organizations to move faster with confidence. The Foundation of Trusted AI Starts with Identity To do that, enterprises need a modern approach to agentic security — one built around visibility, governance, and protection. First, organizations need to know which AI agents exist, who owns them, what they can access, and how they connect to sensitive data. Without that context, teams are innovating in the dark. Second, organizations need governance that can keep pace with agentic activity. AI agents should be treated as first-class identities, with clear human ownership, lifecycle management, least-privilege access, and audit-ready controls. This gives security and compliance teams the oversight they need, while giving business and innovation teams the guardrails they need to move forward. Finally, organizations need protection and response capabilities that operate at machine speed. If an agent behaves unexpectedly, accesses the wrong resource, or becomes compromised, manual response may be too slow. Real-time monitoring, risk scoring, and automated remediation help contain threats before they become larger incidents. Enabling the Business to Create Safely This is where the SailPoint Agentic Fabric becomes a meaningful enabler. By helping organizations discover, govern, and protect AI agents across the enterprise, it supports a more confident path to AI adoption. It brings identity context to the center of agentic security, helping organizations understand not only what an agent is doing, but who owns it, what it can access, and how risk should be managed. The real opportunity is not to choose between speed and safety. It is to make security the reason AI innovation can scale. In the AI era, competitive edge will belong to organizations that can create boldly, move quickly, and protect intelligently. Agentic security is what makes that possible — helping businesses turn AI from a source of uncertainty into a trusted engine for innovation. If you’re ready to see how these principles work in practice, our latest white paper offers a comprehensive guide to making agentic security a reality.
