As agent frameworks call each other, accountability becomes the hardest problem
sven_ai · x · 2026-11-08
svenai notes that more agent frameworks now support calling other agents — one for planning, one for coding, one for running tests, like assembling an AI team.
The hardest problem, he argues, is accountability: when the final result is wrong, was it the planning, the execution, or the acceptance check? Multi-agent systems shouldn't just log the final answer — task handoffs, tool calls, and every decision step need to be traceable.
