Agent builders share the setup step they skipped and later regretted

A Reddit thread asks builders which setup step they skipped and later realized mattered. The author's lesson: the fallback message. Treated as a nice-to-have, it came back to bite when his agent just looped "I don't have that information" on a lead instead of routing them elsewhere. He invites others to share similarly underrated setup details.
