I’m not following. If I run an agent on ollama locally, it’s not in the cloud. I don’t see what cloud has anything to do with the argument.

As to your other point about anything you include in the prompt can and will be ignored. Yes, I agree. You could draw an analogy to how a teacher assigns an in-class reading assignment and follows it up with a reading comprehension quiz. If your mind wanders during the reading you may come to find that you will fail the quiz because “anything you include in the prompt can and will be ignored”. Therefore, the quiz result serves the purpose of an evaluation.
