Systems and methods for reducing wasted computational resources by detecting network operation validation anomalies in conglomerate-application-based ecosystems are disclosed. The system provides a first network operation to a first software application of a set of software applications, where (i) the first network operation is configured to be provided as input to the first software application and (ii) the first software application generates a second network operation as output, using the first network operation, to be provided to a second software application. The system receives a first message associated with a processing of the first network operation at the first software application. The system then performs a determined validation process on the first message. In response to detecting that the determined validation process results in a failure to validate the first message, the system prevents the second network operation from being provided to the second software application.
