UnverifiedTokens provided to agents should follow the principle of least privilege (read-only, scoped resources) to reduce the risk of damage when misled.65% similarUnverifiedReading local logs directly is zero-intrusion: it does not change the Agent's behavior, does not add burden to it, and does not depend on it actively reporting; but the cost is that the log format may change with versions, the parsing logic must be maintained, and cross-platform path differences are large.59% similarUnverifiedMinor tasks should be handled by the primary agent itself, and read-only tasks do not all need to be delegated, because dispatching a sub-agent has overhead in itself.57% similarUnverifiedOn free models, the dollars property should honestly be 0, but the token count is still real, because what actually runs out first is tokens, the window or rate limits, not money.56% similarUnverified"Probing for free" does not equal "probing at no cost": an empty search result itself is not billed, but subsequently fetching hit results or injecting summaries into the context still incurs fetching fees or model token fees.56% similar
