What is native tool calling for AI agents?

Structured function calls with explicit params and raw outputs—no narrative BS. Forces separation of think-act-inspect.

How do you make AI agents production-ready in 2026?

Native tools + full observability + execution receipts. No shortcuts, or they'll fail silently.

They talk without acting reliably, lack traces, and fake success sans proof. Fix with discipline, not demos.

Your next AI agent project? It'll crash and burn without ironclad execution proofs. Here's why devs are still chasing ghosts in 2026.
