Thank you! I am not a researcher, I am a software engineer and I have been chasing better harness for quite some time now.
I firmly believe that we can bring down the costs for much of our productivity needs by a huge factor if there are guardrails. This is how I am building my coding agent: https://github.com/brainless/nocodo
There is so much we can do if we create tools that do more heavy lifting. Your example of ToolResolutionError is something I have not thought of. Again, I am coming at this from software engineering background, I still do not understand much of the inner working of models or their inference layer but I am sure I will slowly create a coding agent that performs really well for majority of people/business use cases (not enterprise) with small models and big harness.
Fun! I've been looking at autonomous engineering as well - completely agree that tools and guardrails are the key.
ToolResolutionError is really inspired by HTTP 4xx vs 5xx codes. I don't even have a super clean abstraction I'm happy with yet, I just noticed a lack of standard in the industry (that I was aware of) so I thought to surface it as a gap. I'm sure there's a better shape than my current ToolResolutionError but it's a start!
