When I see things like "The coordinator threw up its hands when tasks weren't clearly defined" but the conclusion is to not use a coordinator at all in favor of imperative logic... it's really hard to know how much of this could be solved by using much more specific prompts/tool descriptions, and using interim summarization/truncation LLM passes to ensure that the amount of context from prior tool outputs doesn't overwhelm the part of context that describes the tools themselves and their recommended use cases. And when the article doesn't even provide a single example of a long-form tool description or prompt that would actually be used in practice...

I think there's some truth to using the right orchestration for the job, but I think that there's a lot more jobs that could benefit from agentic orchestration than the article would have you believe.
