Agents are components, not products
The pipelines that ship treat the agent as one node among many. It receives a narrow task, returns a structured result, and a deterministic validator decides whether the pipeline continues.
Good tasks for an agent node
Classification, extraction from messy inputs, drafting communications and choosing between a small set of tools. Anything with a checkable output and a bounded failure cost.
Bad tasks for an agent node
Financial calculations, security decisions and anything where an occasional wrong answer is expensive. Keep those deterministic and let the agent hand off.
