This looks like a very pragmatic solution, in line with what seems to be going on in the real world [1], where reliability seems to be one of the biggest issues with agentic systems right now. I've been experimenting with a different approach to increase the amount of determinism in such systems: https://github.com/deepclause/deepclause-desktop. It's based on encoding the entire agent behavior in a small and concise DSL built on top of Prolog. While it's not as flexible as a fully fledged agent, it does however, lead to much more reproducible behavior and a more graceful handling of edge-cases.
