> Give each call different tools. Make sub-agents talk to each other, summarize each other, collate and aggregate. Build tree structures out of them. Feed them back through the LLM to summarize them as a form of on-the-fly compression, whatever you like.

You propose increasing the complexity of interactions of these tools, and giving them access to external tools that have real-world impact? As a security researcher, I'm not sure how you can suggest that with a straight face, unless your goal is to have more vulnerable systems.

Most people can't manage to build robust and secure software using SOTA hosted "agents". Building their own may be a fun learning experience, but relying on a Rube Goldberg assembly of disparate "agents" communicating with each other and external tools is a recipe for disaster. Any token could trigger a cascade of hallucinations, wild tangents, ignored prompts, poisoned contexts, and similar issues that have plagued this tech since the beginning. Except that now you've wired them up to external tools, so maybe the system chooses to wipe your home directory for whatever reason.

People nonchalantly trusting nondeterministic tech with increasingly more real-world tasks should concern everyone. Today it's executing `ping` and `rm`; tomorrow it's managing nuclear launch systems.
