Tool Routing Is the Real Control Plane of an Agentic System
The strongest agent systems are not held together by one giant prompt. They are held together by disciplined tool routing, scoped memory, and evaluation gates around every side effect.

The strongest agent systems are not held together by one giant prompt. They are held together by disciplined tool routing, scoped memory, and evaluation gates around every side effect.
Reliable agents do not need one giant prompt. They need clean boundaries between policy, task, live state, and retrieved evidence.
A practical pattern for safer agents: compile prompts from separate intent, memory, and authority lanes, then test trajectories instead of single outputs.
A practical architecture for multi-agent systems: contract-based handoffs, risk-aware tool routing, retrieval gates, and eval loops that catch drift before production does.
