Obscuring core logic is the most egregious part of most agent frameworks. One needs a clear view of what, exactly, is being sent to the underlying language model, and what's coming back. Everything in an 'agentic' application is realized as a sequence of tokens or a call to a provider eventually. It should be clear and obvious from ~all layers of the app what that's going to look like.

Most framework vendors don’t have an incentive to make things less obscure. The agent framework is free/open source and they make money primarily from selling observability products for agents. Even if they don’t intentionally obscure things, they just don’t have the motivation to optimize that part.
