Something I keep running into when designing agents: per-step reliability compounds, and it compounds fast. The math that bugs me If the model picks the right action 95% of the time (generous for open-ended tool use): 5 steps: ~77% end-to-end 10 steps: ~60% 20 steps: ~36% And the failures are rarel…
