Same for MCP - there is always a chance an agent will mess up the tool use.
This kind of LLM’s non-determinism is something you have to live with. And it’s the reason why I personally think the whole agents thing is way over-hyped - who need systems that only work 2 times out of 3, lol.
The fraction is a lot higher than 2/3 and tool calls are how you give it useful determinism.
Even if each agent has 95% reliability, with just 5 agents in the loop the whole thing is just 77% reliable.
Well fortunately that's not what actually happens in practice.
