# MCP & Tooling

> Status: Exploring

Exploring small, explicit tool interfaces that connect agents to useful systems.

## Tools as engineering boundaries

The current focus is on tool contracts, context shape, permissions, failure handling, and the line between deterministic automation and agent judgment.

## Current questions

- How narrow should a useful tool contract be?
- Which operations need explicit human approval?
- How should failures remain legible to both the agent and the person supervising it?
