Agent Souls Matter More Than Agent Tools

You keep adding tools to your agent. More integrations, more API connections. The soul file stays the same template you started with.

An agent with a clear sense of its role and judgment style makes better calls with three tools than a blank agent makes with thirty. Identity determines which capabilities the agent reaches for, and when it holds back.

Agents fail because they don't know what kind of decision they're facing. That's an identity problem, and you can't solve it by adding another tool.
